Installation Overview
Successful installation of the American Standard Pekoe 25 Single begins with proper cabinet preparation and dimension verification. Confirm your base cabinet measures at least 27 inches wide, providing the necessary 1-inch minimum clearance on each side of the 25-inch sink. This clearance is essential for mounting hardware placement and long-term structural integrity. The Pekoe's compact 25-inch width makes it particularly well-suited for galley kitchens, island prep sinks, or smaller spaces where every inch of countertop matters. When selecting your reveal variant, consider both aesthetics and material properties—the 1/8" reveal option (21.75" x 16.75" cutout) provides the industry-standard balance between stone support and visual appeal, creating a subtle shadow line that defines the sink perimeter. For installations in 2cm engineered quartz or granite, the 1/2" overhang variant offers added security by reducing cantilever stress on the material. Natural stones with visible veining or structural weaknesses benefit from this increased support perimeter. Before cutting, create a detailed installation drawing showing sink placement relative to cabinet walls, ensuring adequate clearance for faucet installation and plumbing connections. Apply a continuous 3/8-inch bead of premium silicone adhesive rated for undermount applications around the entire sink rim. Position the sink carefully, using temporary supports to hold it in place while securing the mounting clips. Tighten clips progressively in a star pattern to distribute pressure evenly and prevent bowl distortion. Allow the silicone to cure undisturbed for 24-48 hours before connecting plumbing or subjecting the sink to load.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming your CNC machine for the Pekoe 25 Single cutout demands attention to detail and proper file preparation. Begin by importing the appropriate DXF variant into your CAM software at full scale (1:1 ratio), then verify the displayed dimensions match specifications: 22.0" x 17.0" for no-reveal, 21.75" x 16.75" for 1/8" reveal, 21.0" x 16.0" for 1/2" overhang, or 25.0" x 22.0" for drop-in installations. When programming toolpaths for granite or engineered quartz, configure your spindle speed between 8,000-12,000 RPM with feed rates of 60-100 inches per minute. These parameters produce clean edges with minimal chipping when using sharp diamond-coated cutting tools. Natural marble, limestone, and other softer stones require more conservative settings—reduce feed rates by 30-40% to prevent microcracking and edge damage. The 0.375-inch corner radius is a critical dimension that requires proper CAM programming. Ensure your software correctly applies tool diameter compensation so the finished cutout matches the specified radius. Most CAM programs handle this automatically when you input your cutting tool diameter, but always verify using the toolpath simulation feature before cutting. If your CNC uses a 1/2-inch diameter router bit, the software should offset the toolpath 1/4-inch from the design line to account for the tool radius. After cutting, inspect all edges under bright light for chips, rough spots, or tool marks. Use diamond hand pads in progressive grits (120, 220, 400) to smooth and polish the cut edges, paying particular attention to the corners where rotating tools are most likely to leave witness marks.
Material Compatibility
The American Standard Pekoe 25 Single undermount sink template is engineered for compatibility with the full spectrum of natural and engineered countertop materials used in modern fabrication. The robust 18-gauge stainless steel construction provides excellent edge support suitable for both 2cm and 3cm material thicknesses. When working with engineered quartz surfaces like Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone, or HanStone, the 1/8" reveal variant offers optimal performance—the consistent density and strength of quartz provide reliable edge support while the reveal creates an attractive shadow line. For 2cm quartz installations, consider the 1/2" overhang variant if the countertop includes overhangs exceeding 6 inches or if the sink area will experience heavy daily use. Natural granite works exceptionally well with any reveal option, though installers should inspect the stone carefully to avoid positioning natural fissures or weak points directly adjacent to cutout corners. Natural marble requires special attention due to its softer, more porous nature—ensure the sink's undercoating provides adequate condensation protection, and avoid the no-reveal option unless the marble has demonstrated exceptional strength. Quartzite, despite its natural origin, typically performs similarly to granite when properly supported. Soapstone installations benefit from the 1/2" overhang variant due to the material's relative softness and tendency to scratch. Solid surface materials like Corian or Hi-Macs are fully compatible and can be joined to the sink using specialized solid surface adhesives for an integrated appearance. Ultra-compact surfaces including Dekton, Neolith, and Lapitec work well with this sink, though fabricators should verify that the sink's rim width provides adequate bonding surface for the manufacturer's recommended adhesive systems. Avoid installing in glass, tile, or other materials lacking the structural capacity for undermount applications.
