Sink depth issue with undercab trash can?

15 years ago

I about about to purchase the Ticor S405 for my 27" sink base cabinet. There will be a single undercabinet trash can (from Rev-a-Shelf) on the left side of the cabinet. Is there any concern with the depth of the sink with the height of the trash can under it?

How deep is your sink? And how tall is the trash can?

As long as you have a bottom-mount trash can, you can always get a smaller can if the one it comes with doesn't clear. But if you want to be sure, look at the specs of the sink and see how low it goes below the edge of the cabinet (and remember that the sink mounts at the top of the cabinet, not the top of the counter, so you use the cabinet height rather than the full 36" or however high yours will be). You'll also want to be sure the can clears your plumbing, so you can look at where the drain and such are in relation to your can.

I just had an undersink pullout trash can installed, but my cabinets are inset so that may make the area smaller.

I purchased a 7 1/2" deep elkay D bowl sink and the Simple Human 8 gal pullout which is 19" high. It just made it with maybe 1/4 in to spare. If my sink had been any deeper, I would have had to use a smaller pullout. I am very pleased with the Simple Human pullout.

The Ticor is 9 1/2" deep and the trash can is 19 1/4" tall so I may have a problem? I am not sure of the actual cabinet dimensions but it sounds very close. I really like the sink the best so far so I hesitate to change that but if I can find a shorter can, that may be the way to go. Plumbing is on the opposite side so that is not an issue.

thanks to all!

That's about the same as ours, which I'm hopeful will work. Our cabinets are ~30" high (actually 34.5" but some of that's toekick and box) with a 9" sink and 18" trash can, plus presumably an inch or so of hardware. Fingers crossed that it will just squeak by, but if not my plan is just to buy shorter bins. Ours arrived yesterday and though they were the ones sold with the cabinet hardware, they just turned out to be Rubbermaid---easy enough to get at Target or the hardware store. Probably should have just wanted to get them until we had everything installed and knew the height for sure, but they were on sale for $10 each, which seemed hard to beat! :)
