It measures 13 inches in length by 16 inches in width by 5 inches in depth overall, with a single square bowl interior of 10 inches by 10 inches and a 4.875-inch bowl depth. The scratch-resistant Lustertone Classic finish resists daily wear, and factory-applied sound-deadening pads reduce basin noise during use. The sink is ADA compliant when installed per applicable guidelines. Weighing 9.5 pounds, it is suited for residential kitchen installations and is made in the USA. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers handle this type of drop-in installation.

The center drain opening measures 3.5 inches, making it compatible with standard residential waste drain assemblies.

Installation Notes

Drop-in sink installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off water supply lines and clear drain connections before removing any existing sink. Use the included U-channel mounting clips to secure the sink to the countertop; apply a bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter cutout rim to prevent water intrusion. Do not overtighten mounting clips, as distortion of the sink flange can compromise the seal.
