sink shopping

18 years ago

I'm looking for a sink. What is the biggest sink I can undermount in a 30" cabinet? Any recommendations for online sink shopping?

    Ticor sinks at Galaxy Tool Supply

    Others...faucetdirect, etc.

    Search the forum for other online sites (use the bottom search box on the thread list page, not the top.) One of the threads you will find with online + sinks for search criteria:

    Has anyone bought sinks or faucets online??? Please help!

    Here is a link that might be useful: Ticor Sinks (Galaxy Tool Supply)

    I absolutely love my Ticor sink from Galaxy Tool Supply.

    I am thankful for the sink shopping recommendations, but I too was hoping for an answer to the dimension question. Just how big can an undermount sink be in a 30 inch cabinet? Am I stuck with a single-bowl?

    i would suggest checking sink specs or asking the place you're getting your cabinets from. elkay (at least the model i want) gives minimum cabinet size in their specifications. even with that, though, i still grilled my cabinet guy -- "Are you SURE it will fit in a 27" cabinet??? :)

    Try www.homecenters.com they have every sink imaginable and if you find one you like, type in CART in thecoupon section on the check out page and get and additional 5%. Free shipping as well on all sinks. I just bought a 21' ELKAY 10' deep and it was over $100 cheaper on there site than at my local supply store or home depot.

    I just tried www.homecenters.com and got the 401, no such site screen. Can you verify the site name please? Thanks!

    Teched, what about the blanco 512-749? It's a budget-buster, but its a 29" two-bowl.

    My kitchen planner didn't have much to say regarding the biggest sink that will fit into a 30" cabinet other than this recommendation.

    Thanks acc0406! I keep looking at all those single bowls that are only like 23" and it just doesn't make sense to me that I could not find an undermount

    I can't figure out why my kitchen planner recommended a 30" sink cabinet. It seems like everything is either for a 27" or 33" cabinet. I'm trying to get the most sink I can. Other than the blanco, I haven't seen much. Let me know what you find.

    Well, my KD recommended it because it fits the wall in my U-shaped kitchen. We could increase the size, but in order to squeeze in the DW and trash, and be able to turn the corner gracefully, 30" it is. Sigh.

    But...

    I just spent a few minutes looking at sites I bookmarked when we redid the baths a year or so ago, and I cam up with some possibilities:

    513-621 - Blanconorstar Small 1½" Undermount Bowl
    22392  ® 27" x 16" Double Bowl Kitchen Sink (UMTLDE-2716-10)
    512-066 - Blanconiagara 1½ Bowl
    22257 Moen Camelot
    22373 Moen Lancelot
    BL511967 Blanco "Supreme"
    KDUC192590RK Kindred "Crown Gold"
    EELUH272010R Elkay "Lustertone"
    BL511662 Blanco "BlancoDiamond"

    I have to chuckle at the Moen ones, because I live in a community called Camelot! Here are the web sites I looked at:

    http://www.fixtureuniverse.com
    http://www.faucet.com/
    http://www.faucetdirect.com/

    Hope these help acc0460 and others. I did notice that you have to look carefully at the specs and installation instructions.I would run every sink by by KD first.

    If you look at the Ticor sinks (Galaxy Tool Supply), it tells you what size sink base you need. Most other sites don't tell you. A general rule of thumb (according to my KD) is that the sink should be at least 1/2" narrower than the sinkbase. You can install larger sinks, but you then have to modify the sink base to fit the sink, which is not recommended.

    Hopefully that answers the OPs original question.

    We bought a copper sink for a 30" cabinet in our office and I have put a link to the specific sink. Basically we needed the flange to be 30" or less in width. The overall bowl dimensions are 26" x 16" by 10" deep. This was big enough for our use.

    Although the sink shown is in a "matte copper" finish, we got the "Rio Grande" which is quite a bit darker and used an ORB faucet. They coordinate really well.

    The sink has been fantastic - soap and water cleanup and occassionally we "wax" it. The company we bought it from were excellent as well.

    Good luck!
