Elkay Residential LRQ19181 Drop-in Kitchen Sink Single Bowl

Product Description

The ELKAY RESIDENTIAL LRQ19181 is a single-bowl, drop-in kitchen sink constructed from 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel. It measures 19 inches by 18 inches with a depth of 7.625 inches and features a bowl interior of 16 inches by 11.5 inches. The flat bottom and straight sidewalls maximize usable basin space for washing, soaking, and stacking cookware. A Quick-Clip mounting system allows the sink to be secured from above the countertop without access from below. Sound-deadening pads are bonded to the underside to reduce vibration and water noise during use. Licensed plumbers and experienced remodelers install this sink in residential kitchen countertop applications.

This sink is suited for residential kitchen installations where a drop-in configuration is required. The 3.5-inch centered drain opening works with standard kitchen drain assemblies. A minimum cabinet size of 24 inches is required for proper fit. The Lustertone brushed finish is designed to blend light surface marks over time, and deeper scratches can be addressed with a stainless steel restoration kit. Made in the USA, this sink is appropriate for new construction, full kitchen remodels, or direct replacement of existing drop-in single-bowl sinks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in compliance with applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and disconnect the drain assembly before removing any existing sink. The Quick-Clip mounting hardware secures the sink to the countertop from above; apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the sink perimeter before setting it into the cutout. Do not overtighten the mounting clips, as this can distort the countertop material or damage the sink flange.
