I know that this is a tricky question, but does anybody know where to get undermounting hardware for an undermounting Kohler sink to be mounted under a granite top. And no Kohler does not have it. They order it from somebody else and do not sell it.
I am looking for the kind that epoxy’s in and you can screw into the hardware. I have the top and the bowl, but the hardware it came with will not work.
Any ideas?

If nothing else worsk, bet I can call over to our plumber and get you what you want.
Someone wrote in a similar question during the past few days, however they phrased it a bit differently. They understood the problem from another perspective - how do you drill the holes in the granite without risking damage to the countertop?
The solution was to have the fabricator make these holes. Therefore, the fabricator would be an excellent source for the hardware.
Also, I know of none that epoxy in. Instead they are knurled bushings which fit snuggly into the holes and are compression held when the fastening screws are installed. You will find them at any decent supplier for Corian or any other solid surface material supplier.

Most granite suppliers should have the undermount bracket. It mounts to the cab and you adjust UP the sink to the top. You can do the same with a wood system and shim up to the top.
I'm pretty sure that kohler has brackets too, had some delivered with some undermount sinks. Where did you get the sink? A good plumbing supply house might have them in stock.
You fasten nothing to the granite, the bracket holds the sink and supports it, tight to the bottom. Silicone the seam.

I use the undermounter sink supports that sit on the cabinet for cast iron kitchen sinks.
For stainless sinks, the flange rests on a plywood subtop.
I get the impression you are talking about a bathroom sink. For these I have never had a failure with the sink glued to the granite with a good quality silicone.
I have never and never will use drill in anchors, too risky. Maybe ok with 3cm or thicker stone. On the west coast 95% of jobs are 2cm stone.
Granite city tool has some epoxy on studs if I remember correctly. It is like an elevator bolt with a bunch of holes in the head to increase the grippability to epoxy. I have never tried them as the above methods have always worked for me.
