Elkay DRKADQ2217601 Drop-in Ada Single Bowl Sink 22x17

Product Description

The ELKAY DRKADQ2217601 is a drop-in, single bowl stainless steel sink designed for ADA-compliant installations in classrooms, educational facilities, and similar commercial environments. Built from 18-gauge stainless steel with a Lustertone finish, the bowl measures 22 inches x 17 inches x 6 inches and accepts a standard 3.5-inch centered drain opening. A quick-clip mounting system allows the sink to be secured from above the countertop without access from below, reducing installation time. Sound-deadening pads are bonded to the underside to reduce noise during use. The sink is compatible with standard garbage disposals and carries an ADA designation when properly installed. Weighing 12.75 pounds, it ships in a package measuring approximately 23.31 inches x 23.19 inches x 8.94 inches.

The DRKADQ2217601 is suited for drop-in countertop installations in classrooms, break rooms, laundry areas, and light commercial kitchens where ADA accessibility is required. The rectangular bowl shape maximizes usable basin space for handwashing or light food preparation. A minimum cabinet size of 27 inches is recommended for proper fit. The repairable stainless steel finish resists everyday scratching and can be restored with an appropriate polishing kit if deeper scratches occur. This product is manufactured in the USA.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and disconnect existing drain connections before beginning any sink swap. The quick-clip system secures the sink from above the deck, but silicone sealant should be applied to the rim per the manufacturer instructions to ensure a watertight seal. Verify ADA rough-in heights and clearances at the rough-in stage to ensure compliant finished installation.
