If your top overhangs the cabinet by 1 1/2" which is standard, 3/4" cabinet thickness, and 1" for the sink flange leaves you at 3 1/4". You can shrink that by another 5/8" if you rabbet the top of the cabinet to accommodate the sink flange. I've had front rails as thin as 2 3/8". They look and function better than a big fat 4"er.

Fabricators aren't wild about this because they don't want to get blamed if your tip out drawer becomes unusable so they put everything at 4" tip outs or not. I'd take a nice skinny rail over a tip out drawer any day. I'm junking tip outs for apron front sinks constantly.

Do not let your fabricator clip that sink please. Even with his fat front rail, he doesn't have room for clips where they're needed most. There isn't a stanchion between the bowls so you've got steel on the flat. With side and rear clips, that's a guaranteed leaker and that can blow your reinforcement rod (cracks the top until it literally jumps off) if you've got natural stone (Saw one today). (2) Sink Straps from Regent Stone Products please. Insist. Steel on the flat cannot deflect and leak when strapped unless the laws of physics are different in your area.

You'll have no problem reaching your faucet.

Joseph Corlett. Sorry I’m new to the site. I’m not sure if I am able to reply to you.

Thank you so much for your response! I have 3 questions

1. when you say you can save 5/8th if you rabbet to the top of the cabinet. Can you explain that, so I can ask my installer?

2. Can you clarify how many clip are suppose to be on this sink? I know you said there isn’t enough room for all and to use a strap instead.

3. In comparing with the sinks you commonly see- Is this one on the larger side? I want to pick whatever is more common. It was between the large sink and this smaller one: signature hardware Calvert on 32”

• Outer Sink Dimensions SHCAURB3421
• (Length x Width x Height): 32" x 18-1/2" x 9"
• vs
• Outer Sink DimensionsSHCAURB3421(Length x Width x Height): 34" x 21" x 9"

Assuming your cabinet is 3/4" thick, you can cut a 1/16" x 5/8" rabbet in the top rail to allow room for the sink flange. That leaves 1/8" of cabinet to hide the flange in the cabinet front.

There should be no clips on this sink. Clips are junk and leak. None of those goofy brackets either. Straps only please.

That isn't a particularly large sink. I just gave a woman a price on replacing the 15 1/2" x 28" sink she had undermounted in her huge Cambria island. She hates it; can't get anything in it. Fortunately at least the sink you've picked has a low divide otherwise I'd recommend a single bowl.

How long are your arms?

Thank you Joseph! Love your help.

Kudzu9 it’s not about the length of my arms, it’s more of the comfort. Everyone can reach it but my preference would be as close as possible. Joseph seems to have some great ideas on how to pull it closer.
