Abstract
An assembly for mounting a kitchen sink to a counter top provides a sink rim with a substantially horizontally extending bent back wall. A clip assembly for use therewith has a bracket with a grip region defining a horizontal gap sized to fit snugly around an edge of the horizontal wall. The bracket defines a pair of vertical tracks in which vertical extensions of a clamp member can slide. The L-shaped clamp has a generally horizontal hook that can engage the underside of the counter top so as to clamp the sink to the counter top by tightening a threaded fastener.
