This is by far the best instructional video on this subject! Thank you for the straightforward and CLEAR instruction.
I've incidentally come across your videos a lot over the years and they've been a huge help. You're an excellent explainer. Thank you for your content!
Thank you, Leah. You're the best!! I can do this!!!!!
Thank you, Leah!! This is immensely helpful. Like others said, other videos I watched didn't show the clips use and involved drilling holes, etc. And none showed how to do it from under the sink. I really think I can do this now! I don't know why it took me so long to come to your channel. This should have been my first stop.
oh thank God for you . finally great view of how clips are installed on the sink . thank you bless you for your patience soul.
Thank you very much for posting this video. I spent an afternoon installing a new stainless sink and when it came time to install the adjustable sink mounts, I was lost on how the clips actually worked, or fit to the rails. I had a friend who was helping me, and he didn't know either, so we found your video, and we got the sink in flush and square. We would not have been able to install the sink without this video. I wanted to let you know this. Thank you, again!
I have never felt compelled to leave a comment on a TH-cam video, but this is exactly what I needed. I just couldn’t understand how the clips fit in the rail! Thank you!
OMG....thank you so much for that easy demonstration....
Thank you for making a simple explaination. OMG why is it so hard for people to explain how to use sink clips. Very easy to understand, thank you!
Unintuitive on those clips is an understatement. Thanks for the close-up and great explanation
I hadn't done this in years! Yours is the best video! Thanks for the short refresher course!
Thank you!!! Love your encouragement at the end :) This channel is awesome.
Thank you - ya know, sometimes an instructional video isn't exactly what you were looking for but this is PERFECT. I noticed that after installers left, there was a gap around sink and clips in a dish under my sink. I had a general idea of how they worked, but couldn't for the life of me figure out exactly how they went in, as you said, it's not intuitive. Anyway - thanks for sharing.
you're welcome, Cindy, glad it was helpful!
Thank you Jane, A friend wants help with installing a counter top with sink installation I always thought I needed a router to cut laminate. You make the job a lot easier .Your the first vid to pop up. Happy it was from someone with experience
+Koi 1971 Glad to help and good luck with the project.
Thanks! That was great. I watched another one and you couldn't see how to do the Clips at all! This was perfect, and had great explanation.
This is amazing video thank you for clarifying how the bolts go on
Thank you! Great video. Informative, not gabby but friendly, and you just saved me from reaching for the caulk gun and possibly needing to redo this in the future.
I am so grateful. I laid under my sink for over an hour trying to figure those clips out. This is the second video you have helped me out on. I really appreciate your help. Sherri
you're very welcome, Sherri! I'm glad it was helpful.
Your videos are always so well done!!! Thank you for all your help, you have saved me hours of time and frustration!!! I am a fan. :)
Thanks Jane...I see this is 7years old but imma check out more of your videos. I'm a 1st yr female Plumber apprentice, my foreman just told me to do this and I had no idea what he was talking about then I watched your video. Thanks!
You do such a great job of explaining things. Than you so much.
You save me a lot of time of web searching with your simple explanation of the sink clips. Gracias!
+Luis Jorge Lopez de nada :)
Thank you, this probably saved me like 2-3 hours trying to figure this out!
Good video. One little item I do is sealing the counter sink cut with silicone caulking. That way it seals the edge in the event some water trickles by your plumbers putty. Cheers.
Great video. Very Helpful .I also had a hard time trying to figure clips out. Thank you so much for taking to the time to share.
+chuck smith you're welcome, Chuck, and thanks for commenting!
Like you said, I'm staring at the hardware trying to figure it out lol. Thanks for the video CJ, you always come through for me! Xx
I had SO much trouble finding a video explaining those clips! Thanks, this was a great video showing enough to be helpful but not so much that it was overwhelming
Thanks, helpful indeed.
SUPERB Explanation! Thank you!
Awesome detail! Just what I needed!!!
Great video , now I know how to install the clips thanks to you
You have no idea how much money you have saved me!! Thank you!
You explained it very well I looked and looked at that clip. You video helped alot
Yes this was a great tutorial and straight to the point, thanks
I’m going to tell you that this video saved my life, thank you so much!
thanx for your time an great videos..
I been watching u tube for a month about this subject u only only gave exact detail thank u for ur effort.
Very Helpful. Clearly explained
thank you for this! you're a lifesaver!
I put a new sink in and didn't know how to clamp it down. I replaced the old sink and with your hepl I was able to clamp it down successfully . I needed this video.
great job leah!!! you are helping a lot of DIY s
Thanks Ken!
Thanks Lea for sharing. I bought a used stainless sink that came with no clamps. I’ve tried different style clamps but none worked. Another problem I have is the sink in bowed. But you putting plumbers putty around the sink gave me the idea how to fill in the gap caused by the bowed. My sink has different track than your sink for the clamps. I’m gonna go to a plumbing supply store to see if they can help me out getting the correct clamps.
I've learned so much from you. Thank you
Super awesome and thanks!!
NICE VIDEO AND SUPER EASY TO FOLLOW, THANKS.😀
love the videos! I took the countertop, cabinets, sink etc out of the kitchen. I am cutting the countertop (Laminate) today and installing a new sink and garbage disposal. I've been changing out toilets and drywall for years this is my first attempt at a countertop. I think the pull out of the kitchen was harder than I expected but with the help of your videos the countertop may be easier than I thought! Thanks!
rachel malcolm Hi Rachel, sounds like a great project! If you care to share pictures with us when you are done, we would love to post them on the Community Corner section of our website, where we share photos from people "who did it!". I'll in-box you my email address. Good luck!
Thanks for this vid it’s exactly the help we needed
always helpfull Leah,,thanks
Thanks for the video
Thank you so much for the simple explanation of these clips! I’ve been wracking my brain on how they work!! 😊👍🏻
you're very welcome, I'm glad to be of help!
seejanedrill , I gave it another shot last night and discovered that my sink has single channels, not double. The head of the screw can’t slide into my tracks. Do you know of any other clip style that would work for me? The track is more of a single rail j hook style.
Girl! You just made my day!
Thank you so much!!! We are ready now to do it right👍😄
Sinks clips are a pain... a good plumber passed on a tip... a 10-24 hex head bolt and nut fits in these...use a nut driver to finish off...save the frustration trying to get your flat head screwdriver in there... also used 10-24 couplers, rod and brackets on the "ornery" front of the sink... good job...good videos...glad I found you!

This is great! I have wanted to remove my sink in order to put on new formica, but the sink clip thing was a puzzle. Puzzle solved! Your videos are super!
thanks, glad it was helpful!
Thank you sooooooooooo much for this.
thanks for posting the video. we had a hard time figuring it out too
+Flex Box great, glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this, the Kohler instruction are next to useless. We did return our first Kohler prep sink because the spot welds on the track were not holding one of the tracks in place. We ordered another.
You are so awesome, thank you!
Thank You very much for your video. You are awesome 👌
Thank you very helpful

Hello C.J.,

You are my new hero 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you.
THANK YOU!! I’d still be trying to figure out how those damn clips go into that track!! Didn’t realize it was the SCREW!!
Can you please show how to build a butcher block kitchen countertop I'm struggling with that now. My first DIY
Thanks!
Good video mam!
really helpful....thanks
you're very welcome, Freddie, glad you liked it!
You are a great teacher. I have had my brand new stainless kitchen sink for a month. I noticed scratches on the top of sink. Do you know any product that is available. Thank you
Seejanedrill she's so patient, and thorough in her explanation. (Just like a woman.). I feel confident mine is just plywood that goes on countertop b4 granite is placed.
Sheila Bowers thanks, Sheila!
thank you very much
+Dogar Flores you're very welcome!
Cool thanks.
Thank you! I couldn't figure that clip out either.
+Ken Nickels you're welcome, Ken, glad to be of help. :)
Well done
+Carl Patterson thanks!
what about using silicon under the sink rather then plumbers putty? will this achieve the same results?
Hey Jane whats the name of the clips you used in this video?
Thank you soooooooppp much. I was doing the same.. staring at it.lol
I have a question. My laminate countertops are bowed/warped. I was originally going to use a fiberglass sink but it doesn't use clips. It just sits on a bead of silicone. If I use that I will have to try and sand it to the valley. My question is are these clips pretty strong? Do you think it will suck the valley up to the sink? I tried screwing the the countertop down to the cabinets but the screws just tear apart the particle board tops. I'm trying to decide if I should exchange the fiberglass for a stainless sink with these clamps or just try to shave the fiberglass sink.
It's possible that the clips will suck up the distance between the counter top and the sink itself, because they cover more surface area than a screw, and the contact point is distributed more evenly. So it may work.
The problem I'm having, is when a sink doesn't have any tracks or lip to even use these kind of clips. In fact even if it DID, I've only got 1 side that has a usable lip of the counter top. An it's a copper sink + counter top. So idk if the only option is gluing and/or siliconing it.
The ones that mount underneath that are so freaking hard. Any tricks. It kills me every time with my back. That’s and the garbage disposal.
My sink does not have anywhere to put the mounting clips. It looks like a intergated flange not the grove type but the lip is flat it is not sticking up and it is hard to bend
My sink appears to be attached to the under side of the counter and now it’s coming loose. Any idea how to fix this?
How can I install a sink with no rails
👍👍👍
I gotta ask, what accent is this? Does this orignate from NY?
I appreciate the tutorial on how to use the sink clips, but I wouldn't recommend using plumbers putty. I followed this video when installing a sink on a new granite countertop and the putty left an oil stain around the hole of the counter. Nothing I've tried has gotten rid of the stain. I think silicone would be a safer alternative.
Hello. Forgive me Ma’am, but what did you say, "plummer's putty"?
+Ato Cox Hi Ato, yes, plumber's putty.
I messed around with those same clips and ended up throwing them against the wall...
You didn't show how to put the clips and screw together
