Elkay LRADQ3321553 Double Bowl Drop-in Kitchen Sink

Product Description

The ELKAY LRADQ3321553 is an equal-double-bowl drop-in kitchen sink constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel. It fits standard countertop cutouts and installs via the included Quick-Clip mounting system, which secures the sink from below without specialty tooling, making it viable on laminate and other common countertop substrates. Both bowls share the same footprint - each measuring 13.5 inches in length by 16 inches in width - allowing simultaneous use for washing, soaking, rinsing, or drying. Sound-deadening pads are bonded to the underside to reduce vibration and basin noise during use. Rear center drains in both bowls maximize below-deck cabinet clearance and usable basin depth. The sink is ADA compliant when installed per applicable guidelines. Drain openings measure 3.5 inches and accept standard drain assemblies. Complete mounting hardware is included.

The LRADQ3321553 suits residential kitchen remodels and new construction where a drop-in double bowl stainless sink is specified. Its ADA-compliant geometry makes it appropriate for accessible kitchen designs in residential and light commercial settings. The rear drain placement is particularly useful in applications where under-sink plumbing clearance is a priority. Licensed plumbers and finish carpenters handle the typical install workflow for drop-in sinks of this type. The sink ships as a single unit weighing 23 pounds and packaged at approximately 37.72 inches by 26.28 inches by 9.51 inches.

Compatibility

Drain opening of 3.5 inches is compatible with standard kitchen drain and strainer assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson following local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and disconnect existing drain plumbing before removing any existing sink. Drop-in installation requires a countertop cutout sized to the sink rim; use the Quick-Clip hardware in the sequence described in the included instructions to draw the rim evenly against the countertop surface. Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the rim before tightening clips to prevent water infiltration, and verify all drain connections are leak-tested before returning the system to service.
