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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel construction for long-term corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScratch-resistant lustrous finish maintains appearance under heavy daily use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSound-deadening pads on both sides and bottom reduce noise and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat bottom with straight sidewalls maximizes bowl capacity and simplifies cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eU-channel drop-in installation with interior-mounted clips for easier access during setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo faucet hole configuration supports a variety of deck-mount faucet and accessory combinations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a drop-in replacement or new-install sink for residential kitchen cabinets with a minimum 21-inch base cabinet.
