### Step-by-Step Instructions
**1. Remove the old sink.**
If you are replacing an old sink, you will need to remove it before you can install the new one. To do this, turn off the water supply to the sink and disconnect the water lines. Then, remove the nuts that hold the sink to the countertop. Carefully lift the sink out of place.
**2. Clean the countertop.**
Once the old sink is removed, clean the countertop thoroughly. Remove any old caulk or debris. This will help to ensure that the new sink will fit properly.
**3. Apply plumber’s putty.**
Apply a bead of plumber’s putty around the edge of the sink where it will meet the countertop. This will help to seal the sink and prevent leaks.
**4. Place the sink in place.**
Carefully place the sink in place on the countertop. Make sure that the sink is centered and that the front edge is flush with the edge of the countertop.
**5. Insert the sink clips.**
Insert the sink clips into the slots on the underside of the sink. The clips should be evenly spaced around the perimeter of the sink.
**6. Tighten the clips.**
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the clips. Do not overtighten the clips, as this could damage the sink.
**7. Apply caulk.**
Apply a bead of caulk around the edge of the sink where it meets the countertop. This will help to seal the sink and prevent leaks.
**8. Reconnect the water lines.**
Reconnect the water lines to the sink. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
**9. Enjoy your new sink!**
Your new sink is now installed and ready to use.
