Elkay LR2522PDMR2 Drop-in Kitchen Sink 25x22 Stainless

Product Description

The ELKAY LR2522PDMR2 is a drop-in, single-bowl stainless steel kitchen sink built from 18-gauge Lustertone material. It measures 25 inches x 22 inches x 8.125 inches overall, with a rectangular bowl interior of 21 inches x 15.75 inches x 7.75 inches deep. The Perfect Drain edgeless design eliminates the gap around the drain opening, allowing food particles and debris to flow directly into the drain rather than collecting around the perimeter. Sound-deadening pads are bonded to the underside to reduce vibration and noise during use. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers handle this installation type routinely using standard drop-in methods.

This sink is suited for residential kitchen applications where a drop-in configuration is required. The straight sidewalls and flat bowl bottom simplify cleaning and maximize usable basin space. A minimum cabinet cutout width of 30 inches is required, making it compatible with standard base cabinet layouts. The U-channel mounting system keeps clips positioned inside the channel prior to fitting, simplifying under-sink assembly. The LKPD1 Perfect Drain and strainer are included, so no separate drain purchase is necessary for a complete installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and disconnect existing drain lines before beginning any sink replacement work. Use a non-hardening plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the sink rim per manufacturer instructions and local code requirements. Do not overtighten mounting clips, as this can distort the countertop or sink flange.
