Elkay LRADQ1716500 Drop-in Single Bowl Kitchen Sink

Product Description

The ELKAY LRADQ1716500 is a drop-in single bowl kitchen sink constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel with a lustrous grain finish. It measures 17 inches by 16 inches by 5 inches deep, making it a compact but functional option for residential kitchen installations. The sink ships as a single unit and is manufactured in the USA. Licensed plumbers and skilled DIYers typically handle installation. The grain finish is scratch-resistant, and minor surface marks from daily use tend to blend into the finish over time. Sound-deadening pads are bonded to the underside of the bowl to reduce vibration and drain noise during use.

This sink is suited for residential kitchen applications where a compact drop-in unit is required. The drop-in configuration fits over a cut countertop opening, with the rim resting on the counter surface. A minimum cabinet width of 21 inches is required for proper fit. The Quick-Clip Mounting System fastens the sink from above the countertop, simplifying the mounting process. The single centered drain opening measures 3.5 inches in diameter, compatible with standard basket strainer assemblies. When properly installed per applicable guidelines, this sink meets ADA compliance requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified installer following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and disconnect any existing drain connections before beginning work. Cut the countertop opening to the dimensions specified in the included installation template before setting the sink. Do not overtighten the Quick-Clip mounting hardware, as this can distort the sink rim or damage the countertop material.
