Bsc Preferred DLRQ1716102 Drop-in Kitchen Sink 18-gauge

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED DLRQ1716102 is an 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel single bowl drop-in kitchen sink measuring 17 inches by 16 inches by 10.125 inches, with a usable bowl depth of 10 inches. The rectangular bowl features straight sidewalls and a flat bottom, which maximizes usable basin area and simplifies cleanup. A Quick-Clip mounting system allows the sink to be secured from above the countertop without specialized tooling. Sound-deadening pads on the bowl sides and bottom reduce noise and vibration during use. Installed by plumbers in residential and light commercial settings, this sink is ADA-compliant and made in the USA.

This sink suits residential kitchen installations and food-prep areas where a compact yet deep single bowl is required. The 10-inch bowl depth handles large pots and sheet pans without overflow concerns. The 3.5-inch drain opening is sized for standard strainer baskets and is compatible with standard garbage disposal flanges, making it a practical fit for full kitchen buildouts and remodels alike. Its Lustertone finish resists everyday scratching, and deep scratches are repairable, extending the service life of the sink.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and disconnect drain plumbing before removing any existing sink. Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the countertop cutout perimeter before setting the sink, then secure the Quick-Clip fasteners from below to achieve a watertight seal. Do not overtighten the mounting clips, as this can distort the sink rim or damage the countertop substrate.
