Elkay DLR1716101 Drop-in Kitchen Sink Single Bowl

Product Description

The ELKAY DLR1716101 is a single-bowl drop-in kitchen sink constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel. It measures 17 inches by 16 inches with a bowl depth of 10.125 inches, making it well-suited for high-volume kitchen tasks including washing large sheet pans, soaking stock pots, and routine dishwashing. The interior bowl dimensions are 14 inches by 10 inches, providing unobstructed working space. A Lustertone finish delivers a uniform brushed grain that resists scratches and allows minor surface marks to blend in naturally. Sound-deadening pads on the sides and bottom reduce vibration and noise during use. Manufactured in the USA.

This sink is designed for residential kitchen installations where a drop-in configuration is required. The U-channel mounting system allows installation clips to be positioned inside the channel prior to dropping the sink into the countertop cutout, reducing the time spent working underneath the cabinet. A minimum cabinet width of 21 inches is required for proper fit. The 3.5-inch drain opening is compatible with standard drain assemblies and most residential garbage disposal units where cabinet clearance allows. Suitable for new construction, remodel, and replacement applications across a wide range of countertop materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a plumber or qualified tradesperson following local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and disconnect existing drain and supply lines before removing any existing sink. Verify countertop cutout dimensions and cabinet clearance against the sink specifications before beginning the installation. Follow IPC guidelines for drain connection and use approved sealant or gasket material around the sink perimeter to prevent water infiltration.
