Elkay DRKAD2522552 Ada Drop-in Classroom Sink

Product Description

The ELKAY DRKAD2522552 is an ADA-compliant, drop-in single bowl sink constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel, built for classroom and light institutional environments. The overall sink measures 25 inches x 22 inches x 5.5 inches, with a rectangular bowl interior sized at 16 inches x 19 inches x 5.375 inches. A 3.5-inch rear center drain placement keeps the under-sink cabinet clear for knee clearance and plumbing access. Sound Guard sound-deadening pads bonded to the bowl bottom reduce noise during high-traffic use periods. Licensed plumbers or facilities maintenance technicians typically handle installation.

This sink is designed for drop-in mounting in classroom, laboratory, or educational facility countertops. The ADA-compliant configuration supports accessible use. The two-faucet-hole layout accommodates standard deck-mount faucet assemblies. A minimum cabinet width of 30 inches is required. The countertop cutout hardware is engineered for countertops up to 0.75 inches thick. The unit is compatible with standard 3.5-inch garbage disposal flanges, though disposal installation below an ADA sink requires careful clearance planning per local plumbing code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and disconnect any existing drain and supply lines before beginning countertop cutout or sink removal. Use the manufacturer-supplied mounting hardware and do not exceed the specified countertop thickness of 0.75 inches. Apply a continuous bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the sink rim perimeter before dropping in to ensure a watertight seal.
