SINK AND METHOD OF INSTALLING SAME
A method of installing a sink (1) in a worktop cut-out (11a), including: a) providing a sink (1) made at least partly from a resin-compound material, with a bowl (2), an outlet opening located in the bottom wall (3), and a circumferential rim (5) located at an upper edge and extending outwardly from a bowl side wall (4); a number of resilient clamping elements (6) arranged on the outside of said bowl (2) adjacent the rim (5), which in a free or uncompressed state thereof, extend outwardly beyond the rim (5), and provide in a loaded or compressed state thereof, a clamping force out-wardly from said side wall (4), at least some of the clamping elements (6) being at-tached to the sink in respective recesses (R) arranged in the side wall (4) or in a transition region between the side wall (4) and the rim (5); b) making the worktop cut-out (11a) with a larger dimension than an area circumscribed by the rim (5) but smaller than an envelope around the clamping elements (6), defining a cut-out side wall (11b) extending perpendicular to an upper surface (11d) and a lower surface of said worktop (11); c) placing the sink (1) centered in the cut-out (11a) by the clamping elements (6) being compressed between the cut-out side wall (11b) and the sink (1).
