Elkay Residential DRKAD252255L3 Drop-in Stainless Steel Sink

Product Description

The ELKAY RESIDENTIAL DRKAD252255L3 is an 18-gauge stainless steel, single-bowl drop-in sink built for demanding environments such as classrooms and workshops. The overall dimensions measure 25 inches by 22 inches by 5.5 inches, with a rectangular bowl interior of 19 inches in length and 16 inches in width. Constructed to meet ADA compliance requirements, the shallow bowl depth keeps the basin accessible for a wide range of users. Sound Guard bottom-only sound-deadening pads reduce noise transmission during heavy use. A rear center drain placement and 3.5-inch drain opening are standard features. Licensed plumbers handle installation under applicable IPC codes.

This sink is designed for drop-in installation in educational facilities, commercial workshops, and similar high-traffic settings. The single-bowl configuration provides a broad, open workspace suitable for cleanup tasks, lab work, or utility use. Three faucet holes accommodate a variety of faucet and accessory configurations. A minimum cabinet cutout size of 30 inches is required for proper fit. The lustrous stainless steel finish is scratch-resistant, and the manufacturer offers a restoration kit for maintenance of deeper surface marks. Made in the USA.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local IPC plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and disconnect drain lines before removing any existing fixture. Drop-in installation requires a field-cut countertop opening sized to the manufacturer template; verify cabinet clearance meets the 30-inch minimum before cutting. Do not overtighten mounting clips, as this can distort the sink rim or damage the countertop substrate.
