Frequently Asked Questions - SK-QAD-MB-33 ZLine

What tools are needed for installation of the ZLine SK-QAD-MB-33 sink?

Installation typically requires a silicone-based sealant, a support frame made of 2x4 lumber, a level, and basic plumbing tools. It is recommended to have a certified plumber perform the installation due to the sink's weight and plumbing connections.

How do I clean the fireclay sink?

Clean the sink with mild dish soap and water after each use. Rinse thoroughly and towel dry to prevent mineral deposits. For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive sponge with baking soda. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the glaze.

Can I use a garbage disposal with this sink?

Yes, a garbage disposal can be installed with the sink. Ensure the disposal is properly supported and does not exceed the sink's weight capacity. Disconnect power before installation.

What is the weight of the sink and does it require special support?

The sink is heavy, typically 80-100 lbs. It requires a support frame of 2x4 lumber installed underneath the sink within the cabinet. Two people are recommended for lifting and installation.

How do I remove scratches from the fireclay surface?

Markings that appear as scratches are often metal residue from utensils. Use a diamond sponge or a Scotch-Brite pad with baking soda to gently buff them away. The utility rack included helps reduce such markings.

What is the warranty for the ZLine SK-QAD-MB-33 sink?

ZLine offers a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects for fireclay sinks. For specific terms and to register your product, contact customer service at 1-614-777-5004.

Can the sink be undermounted instead of apron mount?

The SK-QAD-MB-33 is specifically designed as an apron mount (farmhouse) sink. It cannot be undermounted. Ensure your cabinet has an open front for the apron.

What is the dimension tolerance for the sink?

Since the sink is handcrafted, there is a +/- 2% variance on the listed dimensions. Measure the actual sink before building cabinets or making cutouts.

How do I repair a chip in the fireclay?

Small chips can be repaired using a fireclay repair kit available at local hardware stores. Follow the kit instructions for a seamless fix.

Is the sink resistant to staining and bacteria?

Yes, the fireclay material is non-porous and resistant to stains and bacteria. The four-layer glaze ensures a durable, easy-to-clean surface. Regular cleaning maintains its appearance.

Before Installation

Inspect the sink for any visible defects. Do not install the sink if defects are found. Call customer service at 1-614-777-5004 for assistance. Please keep in mind that ZLINE fireclay sinks are handcrafted and have a +/- 2% variance on the dimensions.

Installation

1. Preparing the Cabinets

Make sure that the tank will not interfere with cabinet doors or panels. Ensure that there is enough space for the water supply installation.

2. Build a Support Frame

Fireclay sinks need support due to their weight. Install 2x4s underneath the sink to reinforce it. Create both vertical and horizontal supports.

3. Insert the Sink

Insert the sink on the support frame. Apply silicone-based sealant to each corner between the frame and the sink.

Easy Cleaning Instructions

Fireclay sinks can be washed with dish soap and water. A rinse and towel drying after each use will take care of most everyday clean ups.

Scratches

Matte finishes tend to show more markings. Markings that appear to be scratches are typically residue left by metal cutlery or pots and pans. It is recommended to use a utility grid (included with apron mount models) to reduce the appearance of markings. Markings can be removed with a diamond sponge or a Scotch-Brite™ pad and baking soda.

Chips

Fireclay sinks are extremely resistant to chips, but if any small chips are found, there are repair kits available at most local hardware stores.

Food

Food can easily become stuck in the corners of the fireclay sink due to its shape. Rinse out all food particles to keep the sink clean.

Dos and Dont's

Do rinse thoroughly after each use.

Do towel dry after each use to prevent mineral deposits from building up on the surface of the sink.

Do clean the sink once a week.

Do wax the sink once a month.

Do Not allow soap or other household cleansers to dry on the surface of the sink.

Do Not use abrasive cleaners to clean your sink.
