Dakota Plumbing Products DSE-FCA3018SMBK Fireclay Farmhouse Sink

Product Description

The DAKOTA PLUMBING PRODUCTS DSE-FCA3018SMBK is a fireclay apron-front farmhouse kitchen sink finished in matte black. Fireclay construction delivers a dense, non-porous surface that resists chipping, staining, and thermal shock under daily kitchen use. The single-bowl basin provides a generous working area suited to large pots, sheet pans, and high-volume task work. The center drain position supports standard trap configurations. A transitional style profile pairs with both modern and traditional cabinetry. This sink is installed by licensed plumbers or experienced kitchen contractors as part of a kitchen renovation or new construction project.

The DSE-FCA3018SMBK is designed for kitchen applications in residential settings. It fits in cabinet openings greater than 33 inches and is sized to drop into a 33-inch cabinet rough opening. The apron-front installation style means the sink face is exposed and flush with or slightly proud of the cabinet face frame. Two exterior face style options are available within the Fenra collection: Double Pin-Striped and Scalloped. The matte black finish suits contemporary, farmhouse, and transitional kitchen designs. No specific compatible cabinet brands or model numbers are stated by the manufacturer for this unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Before installation, shut off the water supply and verify that the cabinet base is reinforced to support the weight of a fireclay sink, which is substantially heavier than stainless or composite alternatives. Apron-front sinks typically require modification of the cabinet face frame and base to accommodate the exposed apron and drain rough-in location. Confirm drain rough-in height and center drain alignment before setting the sink.
