Crafted for both beauty and practicality, this stainless steel sink offers a generous single bowl dimensions of 14-1/2" x 14-1/2" x 4-3/8", providing ample space for washing, stacking dishes, or handling any kitchen task. Its rectangular shape and rear center drain placement maximize usable space, while the 3-1/2" drain opening is compatible with standard garbage disposals, making waste management seamless. Constructed from high-quality 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel, this sink is built to withstand the rigors of daily use while maintaining its lustrous finish. The innovative sound-deadening technology features large pads that minimize operational noise, resulting in a quieter kitchen environment.

This sink not only meets ADA compliance when installed properly but also boasts a repairable finish, allowing it to look pristine even after years of heavy-duty use. Light scratches blend into the rich texture, while deeper scratches can be restored using an Elkay stainless steel restoration kit. To complete the installation, undermount brackets are sold separately, and the sink requires a minimum cabinet size of 18".
