Bsc Preferred ELX1616CH0 Quartz Bar Sink Charcoal

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED ELX1616CH0 is a single-bowl bar and prep sink constructed from a blend of natural quartz and UV-stable acrylic resins. The composite material produces a nonporous, ultrasmooth surface that resists dirt, stains, and bacteria buildup without requiring specialty cleaners. The sink measures 15.748 inches x 15.748 inches x 7.675 inches and ships in a Charcoal finish. An offset drain maximizes the usable basin floor area while maintaining compatibility with standard 3.5-inch drain fittings and most garbage disposals. Heat resistance is rated to 535 degrees F, making it suitable for high-traffic bar and prep installations. Licensed plumbers and kitchen installers are the typical trade professionals who handle this fixture.

This sink is designed for bar areas, prep stations, and secondary kitchen installations where a compact but deep single-bowl layout is needed. The dual-mount design supports both undermount and drop-in configurations. Included hardware accommodates countertop thicknesses up to 1.75 inches. The rectangular bowl interior measures 13.15 inches per side and 7.675 inches deep. A minimum cabinet opening of 21 inches is required for proper fit. The sound-absorbing composite construction reduces vibration and operational noise compared to stainless steel alternatives.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and disconnect the drain assembly before removing any existing fixture. For undermount installations, verify that the countertop substrate can support the sink weight of 13 pounds and that adhesive or mounting clips are rated for the countertop material. Do not overtighten drain hardware against the composite basin; follow the hardware manufacturer's torque guidance to avoid cracking the sink body.
