Elkay DLR222212MR2 Drop-in Kitchen Sink 22x22 Stainless

Product Description

The ELKAY DLR222212MR2 is a single-bowl drop-in kitchen sink manufactured from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel with a Lustertone brushed finish. The basin measures 22 inches x 22 inches x 12.125 inches, delivering an extra-deep rectangular bowl suited for high-volume washing, soaking, and handling large cookware. A U-channel mounting design simplifies drop-in installation into standard countertop cutouts, and sound-deadening pads on the sides and bottom reduce operational noise. This sink is appropriate for residential kitchen remodels and commercial-adjacent food prep applications where durability and basin depth are priorities.

This model is sized for a minimum cabinet opening of 27 inches. The countertop cutout dimension required is 21.375 inches x 21.375 inches. The 3.5-inch centered drain opening accommodates standard garbage disposal flanges and basket strainer assemblies. Hardware included supports countertops up to 0.75 inches thick, making it compatible with standard laminate, stone, and solid-surface countertop materials. Plumbing contractors and finish carpenters typically handle installation in residential new-construction and renovation settings.

Verify countertop cutout dimensions and cabinet size before cutting; the required cutout is 21.375 inches x 21.375 inches with a minimum 27-inch cabinet opening.
