Bsc Preferred LRAD1716551 Drop-in Kitchen Sink Single Bowl

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED LRAD1716551 is a drop-in stainless steel kitchen sink designed for residential kitchen installations where durability and accessibility compliance are priorities. Built from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel, it features a single rectangular bowl measuring 17 inches long by 16 inches wide by 5.5 inches deep. The scratch-resistant lustertone finish is engineered to blend minor surface wear over time with normal use. Sound-deadening pads are bonded to the underside of the bowl to reduce vibration and noise during use. Licensed plumbers and remodeling contractors are the primary installers for this fixture.

This sink is suited for residential kitchen countertop installations requiring a drop-in mount configuration. The single-hole faucet deck accepts a wide range of single-handle and widespread faucet styles. A minimum cabinet cutout width of 21 inches is required for proper fit. The 3.5-inch drain opening is compatible with standard basket strainer assemblies. When installed per manufacturer guidelines, the sink meets ADA compliance standards, making it appropriate for accessible kitchen environments in both new construction and remodel applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and disconnect existing supply lines and drain before removing any existing sink. The countertop cutout must be sized to the sink rim dimensions and sealed with an appropriate silicone sealant to prevent water infiltration. Do not overtighten mounting clips, as this can distort the sink rim or damage the countertop substrate.
