Elkay Residential ELUH16LV-CU Undermount Copper Sink

Product Description

The ELKAY RESIDENTIAL ELUH16LV-CU is an undermount single-bowl bathroom sink constructed from antimicrobial copper. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognizes this copper alloy for its ability to continuously eliminate more than 99.9% of harmful bacteria within two hours of contact, making it a strong fit for hygiene-conscious residential installations. The round basin measures 18.375 inches by 18.375 inches with an 8-inch depth, providing generous working capacity for everyday use. The scratch-resistant, repairable finish holds up under heavy daily wear and can be restored without full replacement. Bottom-only sound-deadening pads reduce vibration and water noise during use. A licensed plumber performs the undermount installation following standard IPC guidelines.

This sink is designed for residential bathroom installations where the undermount configuration is preferred for a flush, seamless countertop-to-basin transition. The center drain, sized at 1.5 inches, supports efficient water evacuation. Cabinet opening requirements start at a minimum of 24 inches, making this sink compatible with standard vanity cabinets found in most residential bathrooms. The antimicrobial copper construction is particularly suited to households prioritizing ongoing surface hygiene without relying on chemical treatments. Made in the USA by a family-owned manufacturer with roots going back to 1920, the product reflects long-standing domestic production standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply to the work area before beginning any sink removal or installation. The undermount configuration requires appropriate countertop cutout preparation and approved adhesive or mounting hardware rated for the countertop material. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds on the copper finish, as this may affect the antimicrobial surface properties.
