Measuring 22" x 22" with a depth of 12-1/8", this single-bowl drop-in sink is perfect for various culinary tasksfrom washing large pots and pans to meal prep. The extra-deep rectangular bowl, measuring 19" in length and 16" in width, accommodates even the biggest baking sheets, while the central drain with a 3-1/2" opening ensures efficient water flow and easy cleanup. Crafted from premium 18-gauge Type 316 stainless steel, this sink stands up to the rigors of daily use, featuring a lustrous, scratch-resistant finish that maintains its beauty over time.

Additional sound-deadening pads significantly minimize vibrations, creating a quieter kitchen environment, so you can focus on cooking and entertaining without distractions.
