what size sink?

4 years ago

I am looking for a stainless steel undermount to fit a 36” space. My KD says I can go up to 34 1/2. Looking to confirm what size sink ( and brand too) that I should buy.

I have the Kraus KHU100-32 and have been very happy with it. Requires 36 inch cabinet. The sink specifications should tell you what size cabinet it requires.

I should add I also have a Kraus prep sink. Both are 4 1/2 years old. No problems.

I have the same one as vinmarks, very happy with it! I have another Kraus as a prep sink, zero problems after 2 years of use.

Your KD is wrong. You can undermount a 36" sink into a 36" cabinet, a 33" sink into a 33", etc., as long as you strap, not clip, your sink in place.

Get a 36" sink please and if you'd like to gain counterspace, make it a workstation type. You won't be sorry.
