What size kitchen sink?

5 years ago

I am upgrading my kitchen countertops to granite and am installing an undermount sink. My sink cabinet is 33 inches long and only 21.5 inches deep (instead of the standard 24 inch depth). I am having a difficult time trying to find an undermount sink that will fit the depth of my cabinet and allow the correct amount of space for the faucet. Does anyone have any recommendations for a 17 inch wide sink?

A 33" sink will undermount in a 33" cabinet no matter what the sink manufacturer says. I'm putting a 33" sink into a 30" cabinet for a customer soon. Strap, don't clip or block, the sink in place please.

A Kohler Prolific 5540 is a great sink and will work in your situation. With a 3/4" cabinet rail thickness, 17 1/4" for the sink if you rabbet the cabinet rail to accommodate the sink flange, (no big deal), that adds up to 18" and you've got 21 1/2", leaving you 3 1/2" to place a faucet which is plenty. 3" if you don't rabbet the cabinet which is still plenty.

I top mounted a 5540 last week or so:
