How do I intall an undermount stainless steel sink to granite countertops?

Answer 1

they have clips that once you see them you will understand how to do it

Answer 2

A granite top should fit over 3/4" plywood. Place the plywood on top of your cabinets. Cut out the basin area for your sink (plus about 1/4") and drop the sink into the plywood top (the lip of the sink will rest on top of the plywood and you should be able to move the sink back and fourth about 1/2 inch in all directions).  With a pencil, draw around the lip of the sink, remove the sink and rout out the area where the lip will sit about 1/16 inch deep (or the thickness of the sink) and about 1/4 inch wider than the sink. Put the sink in place in the hole. Put the granite counter on top of the plywood and sink. Move the sink around in the hole until it is centered in the hole in the granite. Then seal the edges of the sink to the granite counter top with clear silicone caulking.

There's 2- options to mount that stainless steel sink.  1.  Install s***w studs by drilling the proper holes and use epoxy to secure the studs or 2.  The sink usually have rails to fit ur clips , so that the clips can clip on to the wood areas of ur kitchen table.  3.  When u install the plywood to kitchen table, u cut a hole smaller than the sink and it just sits on top of the hole u cut.  I hope that help and give u a idea, to do the job right.,
