Elkay DRKAD251750FR4 Drop-in Classroom Sink Ada Stainless

Product Description

The ELKAY DRKAD251750FR4 is a single-bowl drop-in sink constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel, designed for classroom and institutional plumbing applications. The bowl measures 16 inches in length and 13.5 inches in width, with a rear-center offset drain that maximizes cabinet storage below the deck. Sound-deadening pads are applied to the bowl exterior to reduce operational noise. The drain opening is 3.5 inches, compatible with standard garbage disposal flanges. Hardware included supports countertop thicknesses up to 0.75 inches. A cutout template is included to assist with deck preparation. Licensed plumbers and facilities maintenance professionals are the typical installers for this fixture.

This sink is intended for drop-in installation in classroom countertops, science labs, art rooms, and similar communal educational or institutional environments. The ADA-compliant design, when properly installed to applicable code requirements, supports accessible use by all users. The rear-center drain position frees up under-counter cabinet space, which is particularly useful in classroom cabinetry where storage is limited. The scratch-resistant stainless steel finish is also repairable, allowing minor surface marks to blend over time without affecting the structural integrity of the sink.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any applicable local amendments. Shut off the water supply and verify that drain and supply rough-in locations align with the sink configuration before cutting the countertop. Use the included cutout template to mark the deck opening accurately prior to cutting. Do not overtighten mounting clips, as this can distort the sink rim and compromise the seal with the countertop surface.
