Elkay Residential DRKR2217LVRC Drop-in Sink 22x17 Single Bowl

Product Description

The ELKAY RESIDENTIAL DRKR2217LVRC is a single-bowl drop-in sink built from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel with an integrated Lustertone finish. The overall sink dimensions are 22 inches by 17 inches with a bowl depth of 7-5/8 inches. The rectangular bowl measures 16 inches in length and 13.5 inches in width. Two faucet holes and a 3-1/2 inch drain opening are factory-set, streamlining integration into countertop installations. Sound-deadening pads are bonded to the underside to reduce noise and vibration during operation. The package ships complete with a vandal-resistant faucet (LKDVR208513LC), a bubbler, and a strainer (LKVR18), so the sink is ready to put into service without sourcing additional trim. Licensed plumbers and facilities maintenance technicians handle typical installation.

This sink is designed specifically for educational environments such as classrooms, science labs, and hallway handwashing stations where durability and hygiene are priorities. The vandal-resistant faucet and bubbler kit address the demands of high-traffic student use. The NSF 372 certification confirms the assembly meets lead-reduction standards, which is a direct code requirement in many school renovation and new-construction projects. Drop-in installation requires a minimum cabinet size of 27 inches and a countertop cut-out of 21-3/8 inches by 16-3/8 inches. The Lustertone finish resists everyday scratching, and deep scratches can be restored using an Elkay restoration kit, extending the service life in demanding settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning any work. Drop-in mounting requires securing the sink clips to the underside of the countertop deck per manufacturer instructions, then connecting supply lines and drain assembly. Do not overtighten drain fittings or mounting clips against the countertop, as this can deform the rim seal and cause leaks.
