Elkay DRKAD2217502 Drop-in Sink Single Bowl Ada

Product Description

The ELKAY DRKAD2217502 is a single-bowl drop-in sink constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel. It measures 22 inches by 17 inches overall with a 5-inch bowl depth, and the interior bowl dimension runs 16 inches in length by 13.5 inches in width. The centered drain opening is 3.5 inches in diameter and is compatible with standard garbage disposals. A Sound Guard sound-deadening system uses large pads bonded to the underside of the bowl to reduce noise during use. The Lustertone finish is scratch-resistant and can be restored with a stainless steel restoration kit if surface damage occurs. This sink is manufactured in the USA and meets ADA requirements when properly installed.

The DRKAD2217502 is designed for drop-in installation in classroom environments and is also suited for light commercial kitchens, laundry rooms, and similar trade applications. It requires a minimum cabinet size of 27 inches. The countertop cutout accommodates installation on surfaces up to 0.75 inches thick, and mounting hardware is included. Two faucet holes are required. The ADA-compliant profile makes it a common specification in school facilities, healthcare support spaces, and public-access countertop installations handled by licensed plumbers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and disconnect existing drain lines before beginning the cutout or mounting process. Drop-in mounting requires a countertop cutout sized to the sink rim template; apply a continuous bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the rim before setting the sink. ADA compliance depends on proper mounting height and knee-clearance conditions at the finished installation.
