Dakota Plumbing Products DSE-HC2318 Copper Kitchen Sink

Product Description

The DAKOTA PLUMBING PRODUCTS DSE-HC2318 is a handmade, single-bowl undermount kitchen sink crafted from 14-gauge copper with a hammered finish. The hammered texture is applied by hand, giving each unit a distinct surface pattern and a warm, natural copper tone. At 14 gauge, the copper shell is heavy enough to resist flex and dampen sound. The sink develops a natural patina over time, which is a characteristic of unlacquered copper rather than a defect. It is installed by plumbers and skilled remodelers in residential kitchen applications. The center drain position suits standard P-trap configurations, and the standard-radius corners simplify templating for undermount installations.

This sink is suited for residential kitchen remodels and new construction where an undermount installation is specified. It fits cabinets smaller than 33 inches in base width. The traditional style and hammered copper finish make it a common selection in farmhouse, craftsman, and rustic-contemporary kitchen designs. A licensed plumber typically handles the final drain connection and sealing. No specific commercial applications are noted in the product data.

Installation Notes

Undermount copper sinks are installed by licensed plumbers or experienced finish carpenters working with a plumber for the drain connection. Power to any disposal unit must be shut off at the breaker before work begins, and the water supply must be fully closed and depressurized. The sink is secured to the underside of the countertop using manufacturer-approved adhesive and mounting clips suited to the countertop material. Copper reacts with certain adhesives and sealants, so confirm chemical compatibility before applying any product to the sink rim or flange area.
