Elkay LRAD1517602 Drop-in Kitchen Sink Single Bowl Ada

Product Description

The ELKAY LRAD1517602 is a single-bowl drop-in kitchen sink from the Lustertone Classic line, built for residential and light commercial installation. Constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel, it delivers a durable, scratch-resistant surface with a lustrous finish that holds up to daily use. The overall sink footprint measures 15 inches x 17.5 inches, with a usable bowl interior of 12 inches x 12 inches. The unit meets ADA compliance requirements, making it a valid specification choice for accessible kitchen installations. A 3.5-inch drain opening supports efficient drainage. Licensed plumbers and kitchen remodelers are the primary installers for this fixture.

This sink is suited for drop-in countertop installations in residential kitchens, small commercial prep areas, and ADA-accessible kitchen setups. The U-channel installation system is designed to simplify mounting and reduce time spent working beneath the counter. The sink requires a minimum cabinet width of 18 inches and is configured for two faucet holes. Sound-deadening pads are factory-applied to the underside of the bowl to reduce noise during use. This combination of features makes it a practical choice for renovation work, new construction, and accessibility-driven remodels where a compact single-bowl format is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and disconnect existing drain and supply lines before beginning work. The drop-in design requires a field-cut countertop opening sized to the manufacturer's template specifications. Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the sink perimeter before setting into the opening to prevent water intrusion beneath the deck.
