Installing Blanco kitchen sink clips is a relatively easy task that can be completed in a few minutes. By following these step-by-step instructions, you can ensure that your sink is securely fastened to your countertop.
### Tools and Materials You’ll Need
* Blanco kitchen sink clips
* Screwdriver
* Drill
* 1/8-inch drill bit
* Pencil or marking tool
* Measuring tape
### Step-by-Step Instructions
**1. Prepare the sink and countertop.**
Before you begin installing the sink clips, make sure that the sink and countertop are clean and dry. This will help to ensure that the clips adhere properly.
**2. Mark the location of the clips.**
Use a pencil or marking tool to mark the location of the clips on the countertop. The clips should be spaced evenly around the sink, about 6 inches apart.
**3. Drill pilot holes.**
Once you have marked the location of the clips, use a 1/8-inch drill bit to drill pilot holes at each mark. The pilot holes should be about 1/2 inch deep.
**4. Install the clips.**
Place the clips over the pilot holes and use a screwdriver to tighten the screws. Be sure to tighten the screws snugly, but do not overtighten them.
**5. Attach the sink to the countertop.**
Once the clips are installed, you can attach the sink to the countertop. Lower the sink into place and align it with the clips. Press down on the sink to secure it.
**6. Check for leaks.**
Once the sink is installed, check for leaks. Turn on the water and look for any leaks around the sink. If you find any leaks, tighten the clips until the leaks stop.

* **The clips are not holding the sink securely.** If the clips are not holding the sink securely, you may need to tighten the screws. Be sure to tighten the screws snugly, but do not overtighten them.
