Sink cabinet size question

18 years ago

How do you know if you need a larger than the average size sink cabinet as my KD is not sharp? I was thinking about the Ticor S405D, does that require a larger cabinet? What is the sink size that you know you need to step up to the larger cabinet? Is the larger cabinet wider and deeper or just deeper? Need help as almost ready to okay my cabinets but really concerned about sink.

    I just had my contractor do this. Measure from wall to wall inside the cabinet. (mine measured 34 1/2" and Ticor does say minimum cabinet size ). As far as the length, a few people here mentioned they had some "surprises" in that some faucets were bigger than they had figured.

    I have the S405D in a standard depth, 36" base cabinet. I don't think it would fit in anything smaller, but you could choose any cabinet you wanted that size or bigger.

    Actually, Galaxy Tool Supply does tell you the minimum cabinet size for the S405D...
    36" Minimal Required Cabinet Space

    We have the S405D as well and I interpreted the above statement to mean a 36" sink base and that is what we have (it's still sitting in our garage, though, as work has been stopped on our kitchen for 5 weeks now!)

    However, Bob_cville mentioned in the thread linked below that he had to route about 1/16" out on each side of his 36" sink base to fit the S405D...so, I hope we're going to be OK. B/c of Bob_cville's experience, I'm thinking now that it may mean open space, not counting the walls of the cabinet...so it maybe it should be a 37-1/2" sink base.

    Anyone else have this sink? What size sink base do you have? If 36", did you have to route out the sides like Bob_cville did?

    Alku, did it fit the 36" cabinet w/o having to scribe or route out the sides?

    Buehl: Are you happy with your sink? I was looking at the reverse configuration, but have only heard of Ticor through this site and am nervous ordering something sight unseen....Were you happy with the supplied parts (strainers, etc.)? Thanks!

    I have the Ticor 405D and I'm very happy with it, its solid, sturdy and beautiful. Also I have never had sink grids before and didn't really see the point of them, but now I love them.

    As beuhl mentioned I did need to route out a small amount of the top edge of the cabinet sides for the sink to fit in my 36" sink base, but it really only took about 5 minutes. (and was much easier that getting the 36" Kenmore Induction cooktop to fit into its 36" cabinet.) In fact when a minor misalignment of the granite sink hole was discovered, necessitating shifting the sink 1/4" to the left, I grabbed the router, and routed out another 1/4" while the granite installers were there to make the counter fit perfectly.

    I was also amazed at the speed of shipping; I ordered the sink on Wednesday afternoon and by Thurday evening it was sitting outside my front door.

    I have only two minor quibbles with it. 1) We spent a week or so deciding whether the small bowl should be on the right or the left, but by the time we decided on small on the left, that sink was out of stock and no longer listed on their website. 2) I connected the small basket drain to a drain tail piece that has the side inlet from the dishwasher, and recently the connection between the two came loose. I haven't yet figured out whether its a problem with the threads on the basket drain or the plastic nut on the tail piece.
