Elkay Residential LRADQ2022552 Drop-in Kitchen Sink

Product Description

The ELKAY RESIDENTIAL LRADQ2022552 is a single-bowl drop-in kitchen sink constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel with a Lustertone scratch-resistant finish. The bowl measures 19.5 inches x 22 inches x 5.5 inches, providing a full uninterrupted wash area suited to residential kitchens and light commercial prep environments. A rear-center drain placement maximizes usable cabinet space below the sink. Sound Guard bottom pads are applied at the factory to reduce vibration and noise during use. Quick-Clip mounting hardware is included for drop-in installation onto laminate or solid-surface countertops. This sink is ADA compliant and manufactured in the USA.

This sink is intended for drop-in countertop installation in residential kitchens and light commercial settings such as break rooms or small prep areas. The 5.5-inch bowl depth accommodates standard dishware and cookware. Rear-center drain positioning keeps the basin floor clear and supports efficient drainage. The Lustertone finish is repairable, and Elkay offers restoration kits for deeper surface scratches, making this a practical long-term choice for high-use environments. Licensed plumbers or experienced finish carpenters typically handle countertop cutout and final sink installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and disconnect existing drain connections before beginning countertop cutout or sink removal. The Quick-Clip mounting system secures the sink from above, which is particularly useful on laminate countertops where under-counter clamping access is limited. Do not overtighten mounting clips, as excess force can distort the sink flange or damage the countertop substrate.
