Yes, it will cause issues. The cabinet sides will have to be cut away and additional support added in order to properly fasten the sink to the counter.

I think installers should know how to do this for the sink to fit. It is called scooping the base cabinet. Fairly common. Check with the KD and installers.

I guess I don't understand the scooping issue here. The outside edge of the sink is 32" which is less than the space between the cabinet walls. Why would the sides of the cabinet have to be cut away?

We had this same issue...blanco silgranite sink was supposed to require 36" cabinet but we installed it in a 33" cabinet. Our counter fabricator said he does it all the time. It's been in for a year and no problems yet. Fingers crossed...

No room for the sink clips. And by the time you make room by cutting the sides down, you've cut enough away that extra support is needed.

Your inside measurement = 33 1/4"

Blanco Sink edge to edge = 32"

What's the problem??

No room to attach the sink clips without scooping the sides to attach them.

I did the same thing, but my sink install was a chop job. I have a post on here about it. http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/2827352/personal-preference-or-function
That being said, it can be done. I just had a bunch of yahoo's that didn't know what they were doing. I'm not sure if you get on here often, but there's a fabricator that has great feedback for this sort of situation. Trebruchet has talked about the Hercules Universal Sink Harness & I believe he says it's good for situations like yours. I'd just make sure your installer is very good at installing sinks in small places & knows what he's doing. As Sophie keeps saying, there's not enough area for the sink clips. But, there are other options to do w/out having to use the sink clips, which is what my guys tried to use. Didn't work! Being redone by the owner, so am hoping this time he knows what he's doing.

Here's a link to the strap: http://www.braxton-bragg.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/store7catalog.level/bc/9145/

This is another option Treb uses: http://www.slipperyrockgazette.net/index.cfm/pageId/1649/Super%20Fast%20Sink%20Bracket/

Maybe he'll chime in & give you his thoughts on this.

Good luck.

I've got a call into my fabricator so we can chat about this (as a side note, he is one of the highest rated on Angies List).

Bicyclegirl1, I've seen those different methods of attachment too. The bragg one looks like something that would work well especially given the 3/4" thickness of the cabinet ends. I've seen some others too.

As far as "scooping" out the sides, would they only need to do that in a few places so the side clips could still fit or would the cut down the whole side of the cabinet?

It'll be interesting to see how the contractor reacts to my concerns too.

I hope your fabricator helps you feel more positive about your installation, Richard. I'll be curious to hear what he says. And, how it goes!

I don't know anything about this scooping out the sides thing. I can't seem to grasp this concept! However, I think my yahoo guys scooped out the front!! I have no idea, they just did a hack job!

Let us hear back as to what your fabricator says. Good luck!
