Bsc Preferred LFR1918 Drop-in Kitchen Sink 19x18 in

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED LFR1918 is an 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel drop-in kitchen sink designed for residential kitchen installations where durability and efficient workflow are priorities. The single bowl measures 19 inches x 18 inches overall, with a rectangular bowl interior of 16 inches x 13.5 inches and a depth of 7.625 inches. A centered 3.5-inch drain opening keeps the bowl floor clear of obstructions. Sound-deadening pads are factory-applied to the underside to reduce vibration and noise during use. The Lustertone Classic finish is scratch-resistant and, for deeper surface marks, can be restored using a standard stainless steel restoration kit. Manufactured in the USA.

The LFR1918 is suited for residential kitchen remodels and new construction where a clean, faucet-ledge-free countertop profile is preferred. The drop-in configuration fits standard countertop cutouts and requires a minimum cabinet width of 24 inches, making it compatible with most base cabinet layouts. Straight sidewalls and a flat bowl bottom simplify cleaning and maximize usable basin volume. The U-channel mounting system accepts clips that are positioned inside the channel before the sink is set, reducing installation time compared to traditional clip-and-bracket methods.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off the water supply and disconnect existing drain and supply lines before removing any existing sink. Verify countertop cutout dimensions against the sink rim before setting. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including those under the IPC, for drain connection and venting. Do not overtighten mounting clips, as this can distort the sink rim or damage the countertop substrate.
