Bsc Preferred LR17162 Drop-in Kitchen Sink 18-gauge Stainless

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED LR17162 is a single bowl drop-in kitchen sink constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel with a lustrous scratch-resistant finish. Overall dimensions measure 17 inches in length, 16 inches in width, and 7.625 inches in depth. The bowl interior measures 14 inches in length by 10 inches in width with straight sidewalls and a flat bottom, maximizing usable washing and soaking space. Sound-deadening pads on both sides and the bottom reduce vibration and noise during use. A center drain opening of 3.5 inches and two faucet hole configurations accommodate a range of kitchen setups. Licensed plumbers and experienced trade installers are the typical service professionals for this fixture.

This sink is suited for residential kitchen installations where a drop-in format and compact footprint are required. The U-channel mounting method positions clips inside the channel, providing easier access during installation compared to traditional undermount or clip-rail systems. It requires a minimum cabinet size of 21 inches and is compatible with countertops up to 0.75 inches thick. Manufactured in the USA, it is appropriate for both new construction and kitchen remodel projects where a durable, low-maintenance stainless steel sink is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified trade professional in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and disconnect existing drain and supply lines before beginning any sink replacement. The drop-in U-channel mounting system requires access from above; confirm countertop cutout dimensions match the sink rim before securing mounting clips. Silicone sealant is typically applied along the rim perimeter to create a watertight seal between the sink and countertop surface.
