Elkay DRKAD252265L2 Drop-in Classroom Sink Ada

Product Description

The ELKAY DRKAD252265L2 is a drop-in, single-bowl stainless steel sink engineered for classroom and institutional environments. Built from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel, it delivers the corrosion resistance and surface durability required in high-traffic settings. The rectangular bowl measures 19 inches in length by 16 inches in width, with an overall sink footprint of 25 inches by 22 inches and a depth of 6.5 inches. A rear-centered 3.5-inch drain with offset placement maximizes usable basin space and improves clearance in the cabinet below. ELKAY Sound Guard technology uses large sound-deadening pads bonded to the underside to reduce noise during use. The sink meets ADA requirements when installed per applicable guidelines, making it suitable for accessible classroom and laboratory spaces.

This sink is intended for drop-in installation in classroom, institutional, and light commercial settings where ADA compliance and durability are required. The generous bowl size supports hand washing, material prep, and general utility tasks. It accommodates standard garbage disposals, expanding its usefulness in spaces that require food prep capability. A minimum cabinet size of 30 inches is required for proper installation. The countertop cut-out dimension is 24.375 inches by 21.375 inches. Licensed plumbers or qualified trade professionals typically handle installation in commercial and institutional projects.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and applicable accessibility standards such as the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Shut off the water supply and verify drain rough-in location before beginning the drop-in installation. Confirm the countertop material and cabinet structure can support the sink weight prior to cutting the opening. Do not overtighten mounting clips, as this can distort the sink rim and compromise the countertop seal.
