Elkay LRAD2522555 Drop-in Kitchen Sink 25x22 Stainless

Product Description

The ELKAY LRAD2522555 is a single-bowl drop-in kitchen sink made from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel with a Lustertone satin finish. It measures 25 inches x 22 inches x 5.5 inches and is designed for drop-in installation in residential kitchen countertops. The sink features a rear-center offset drain positioned 3.5 inches from the back wall, freeing up usable basin space and reducing cabinet obstruction below. A U-channel frame with built-in mounting clips simplifies drop-in installation. Sound-deadening pads on the underside reduce noise during use. This sink meets ADA compliance requirements and is manufactured in the USA.

This sink is suited for residential kitchen installations where a single large basin is preferred for food prep and dishwashing. The 5.5-inch bowl depth provides clearance for large cookware. A minimum cabinet width of 30 inches is required. The countertop cutout dimension is 24.375 inches x 21.375 inches. Plumbers and experienced finish carpenters typically handle installation in new construction and remodel applications. The Lustertone finish integrates into both traditional and contemporary kitchen designs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson following local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and disconnect existing drain and supply lines before beginning work. Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the cutout before setting the sink, then secure the built-in mounting clips from below. Verify drain rough-in location and supply stub-out clearances before finalizing the countertop cutout.
