Getting some different views on how undermount sinks are installed. Some folks say you don't need clips as the weight of the countertop is enough to hold the sink securely in place. Specifically, why is it that Teka sinks sold in Malaysia for example do not come with the clips whereas the same sink sold in UK or US comes with clips? Anyone knows?

Thanks for sharing. And yup, sink is definitely bottom mount. 18/8 SS and a lot thicker than most. May put a waste disposal unit there and was concerned about how well the mount should be.

Awesome folks on this forum rclxms.gif

Hi my undermount teka sink comes with clip but installer did not install it. They just glue it

Any idea why top mount need clip while bottom doesn’t?
