Elkay Residential DRKAD2517400 Drop-in Stainless Steel Sink

Product Description

The ELKAY RESIDENTIAL DRKAD2517400 is a single-bowl drop-in stainless steel sink built for classroom and educational facility installations. Constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel with a Lustertone scratch-resistant finish, it measures 25 inches x 17 inches x 4 inches overall, with a rectangular bowl interior of 16 inches long by 13.5 inches wide and 3.875 inches deep. A rear center drain placement keeps the bowl floor clear and maximizes usable cabinet space below. The sink ships as a single unit and is installed by licensed plumbers in drop-in countertop cutouts.

This sink is designed for educational settings such as K-12 classrooms, art rooms, and science labs where durability, accessibility, and low-maintenance surfaces are required. Its ADA-compliant profile supports accessible installation when mounted at the correct counter height per applicable codes. The 3.5-inch drain opening is compatible with standard garbage disposals where cabinet depth and local codes permit. A minimum cabinet size of 30 inches is required. The Lustertone finish resists everyday scratching, and light surface marks can blend into the brushed texture over time.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and disconnect any existing drain connections before beginning work. The drop-in design seats into a countertop cutout and is secured from below using mounting clips; do not overtighten clips on laminate or tile surfaces to avoid substrate damage. Verify ADA mounting height requirements during rough-in if accessibility compliance is required.
