Designed to be the centerpiece of your kitchen, this single bowl drop-in sink offers a spacious and uninterrupted area that is ideal for washing, soaking, and stacking dishes. Measuring 19-1/2" x 22" x 7-5/8", its square bowl shape provides ample room for diverse kitchen activities, while the 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel construction ensures long-lasting durability and a lustrous finish that withstands the wear and tear of daily use. The U-channel installation simplifies setup, allowing for quicker mounting with less time spent underneath the sink, while the included hardware accommodates countertops up to 3/4" thick. The sound-deadening pads significantly reduce noise and vibration, creating a quieter environment as you engage in cooking and cleaning. With a minimum cabinet size requirement of 24, this sink fits seamlessly into modern kitchens. The drain opening, measuring 3-1/2", is strategically placed at the center, enhancing the functionality of the deep bowl. Plus, the sink's scratch-resistant surface means that even the heavy-duty use of pots and pans won't mar its beauty. Light scratches will eventually blend into its lustrous grain, but deeper marks can be easily addressed with an Elkay stainless steel restoration kit, preserving its high shine over time. Proudly made in the USA, this sink embodies sophistication and practicality, ensuring that your kitchen remains a welcoming and efficient space for years to come. Whether for gourmet preparation or everyday dining cleanup, this Elkay Lustertone sink exceeds expectations, offering both style and functionality.
