Hi All,
The sink that came with our house came with no clips installed, and I have no idea what brand of sink it is or what type of clips to buy.
Does anybody know by looking at this picture of the rail what kind of clips I need to buy?
Thanks very much!
-Ken

I don't remember the brand, maybe Just, but it is an aluminum "strip" with a bolt hole on the end. It goes through the opening and presses against the countertop when the bolt is tightened against the strip on the bottom of the sink.

this is the closest i can find.
can't identify the sink from the clips as many manufacturers share the same clip design.

hard to see from the picture but there is a round plastic pin in the center. the clip opens and closes like a door hinge. once placed in the straight position the screw tightens by threading into the pin.

the first set of clips should work fine.

NEITHER one works with that rim. The ones you want basically a "straight" piece of aluminum with a "ridge" to position it in the opening.

the clips i recommended will work with that rim.
they will lock into the square slot, hindge toward the sink to allow for drop in and hihge back to straight so they can be tightened.
i have used that type before.

They MAY work, but they do not have the "notch" to lock them in to the rim.
