Elkay DRKAD2517652 Drop-in Stainless Steel Sink Ada

Product Description

The ELKAY DRKAD2517652 is an 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel drop-in sink designed for ADA-compliant installations in classrooms, prep areas, and light commercial settings. The overall sink dimensions measure 25 inches x 17 inches x 6.5 inches, with a single bowl interior measuring 16 inches in length and 13.5 inches in width. A rear center drain opening of 3.5 inches promotes efficient drainage. Sound-deadening pads are integrated into the underside to reduce operational noise in high-traffic environments. The Lustertone scratch-resistant finish is designed to resist and recover from surface wear over daily use. Made in the USA.

This sink is suited for drop-in countertop installation in educational facilities, healthcare prep stations, and commercial service areas where ADA accessibility is required. The drop-in format works with countertops up to 0.75 inches thick, simplifying rough-in and mounting. The offset drain placement keeps the cabinet space below more open and accessible for under-sink storage or plumbing runs. Licensed plumbers and facility maintenance crews are the primary installers for this product in commercial and institutional settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local IPC or applicable plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply fully before beginning any sink installation or replacement work. Verify countertop thickness does not exceed 0.75 inches before mounting to ensure proper clip engagement and seal. Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant along the sink rim perimeter before setting into the countertop cutout to prevent water intrusion.
