Elkay DRKAD222055R4 Drop-in Sink Single Bowl Ada

Product Description

The ELKAY DRKAD222055R4 is a single-bowl drop-in sink constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel, finished to the Lustertone Classic standard. It measures 22 inches by 19.5 inches overall, with a bowl cavity of 16 inches in length, 13.5 inches in width, and 5.375 inches in depth. The sink ships at 14 pounds and is manufactured in the USA. ADA compliant when installed to specification, it is suited for commercial and institutional environments where accessibility standards apply. Four pre-punched faucet holes and a 3.5-inch drain opening simplify fixture selection and rough-in planning. Sound-deadening pads bonded to the underside of the bowl reduce impact and water noise during use.

This sink is designed for drop-in installation in classroom washrooms, educational facilities, healthcare support rooms, and similar light-commercial applications where ADA compliance and durability are required. The minimum cabinet opening is 27 inches. The 3.5-inch drain is compatible with standard garbage disposals where local code permits and cabinet depth allows. Licensed plumbers typically handle institutional sink installations under IPC or applicable local plumbing codes. The stainless steel construction and sound-deadening package make this sink appropriate for occupied-building environments where noise control matters.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with IPC requirements or applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and verify cabinet dimensions against the 27-inch minimum before cutting the countertop opening. Do not overtighten mounting clips, as this can distort the sink rim or damage the countertop substrate. Confirm local code allows garbage disposal use before connecting one to the drain.
