I want to use this item for a kitchen island top. Does it have any steel rod fasteners inside that would be exposed when I cut a hole for a sink ??

I don't think it does. We used it like an island but as a kitchen table. It is a beautiful piece of wood, and at a good price. Good luck.

I bought one of these for a work bench and drilled 3/4" holes along the full length of one side and one end. About 40 holes total. I never hit steel. I probably would have if rods were there but can't say for sure. Since these are made for workbenches and dog holes are frequently drilled, it is unlikely that any reinforcing rods are present.

It does not. It's all wood. I made a kitchen island and bought drilled into it.

Not sure on that but I used mine to make a kitchen table. I love it. Looks great

I went on line and looked under images, I never drilled a hole/pit in the floor, resistance against the bottom of the sink and floor, (pointy end down), seem to keep it in place, I took a level to it, I did a 'trial' fit first thinking I would go back and add the 'beauty' ring/floor cap but haven't , its been three months, and it has worked well, good luck

No holes for the faucet because it is an under the counter install and the holes are drilled into the granite counter top. I am very happy with the sink and it looks nice with my new counter top. The installer thought it was great for the price I paid

In looking at our installation, I would say no. Our sink is siliconed into place and supported with wooden braces that I would say were made up and installed by our counter installers. Contact Kraus directly....they will advise you (your installer) regarding installation.

Metal retaining clips with tension bolts. They should secure the sink to 3/4 inch material.

Yes, we had one installed on our island with a granite counter top. Threaded area is long enough to mount on approx. 1 1/2" thick countertop.

You do not need any deck plate (Escutcheon) for single hole sinks. If you wanted one plate that works, consider this:8" Kitchen Sink Faucet Hole Cover Deck Plate Escutcheon, Brushed NickelSome people like to have the faucet elevated a touch, even with just one hole, and some need to cover up other holes. I used that plate with this faucet which were installed on a standard four hole, single bowl kitchen sink and all worked perfectly.

Dear Bruce, I do not know what the metal is unless it is described under the items. I had ordered two of them since they are difficult to find for the size of our kitchen sink. I will say that they are heavily rubber coated and so far I am still using the first one and it is holding up very well. The second one is safely stored in the cabinet under our kitchen sink. Maybe you can contact the vendor and see what type of metal is used for manufacturing their sink rack. Oh I think I may have found the answer as I looked at the Better Houseware Large Sink Protector, I read it is stainless steel. Which explains why the protector does not bent even with heavy cookware are placed in the sink. I trust this has been helpful.

The sink is designed to be mounted under the countertop. There are no holes cut in the sink to accommodate a faucet. Given the heavy gauge I would say drilling holes is not an option.I would contact Kraus or the distributor for a recommendation. We are VERY HAPPY with this sink. It is pure quality throughout.

The cabinet does not come with the top or sink. If you're looking to make a vessel fit you would have a stone (or any other material) countertop cut to size and drilled for the drain and faucet.

No, but Artisan makes a strainer for it for a reasonable price. I also purchased the SS sink grate and it protects the sink from scratches and keeps the dishes out of the misc. debris from cleaning them off. Nice heavy duty sink!

They were according to the description on this site. A template comes with the sink that you put on your counter and cut according to the template. I LOVE MY SINK! I have dropped dishes and glasses in the sink and they have not broken. It cleans easily.

Mine did not. I used the Hercules Universal Sink Harness kit to secure mine. There are a few other good systems out there too, like Sink Setter and Sinkits that give more support than the clips. Many installeler will tell you that they only need adhesive to secure the sink (as mentioned several times in the previous question about this) but over time that adhesive tends to fail and you end up with a leak and a rotted cabinet. Better to insist on a securing device.

Unfortunately I have a stainless steel sink. I can say that fully seated on stainless, I still have 3 rows of visible thread. Someone in December reviewed that it does direct fit a composite or cast iron sink without modification.

I ended up buying a stainless steel sink from Blanco. I use Bar Keepers Friend on that and it works great.

I would say no. The sink has threaded bosses to receive screws but in my kit the screws were the wrong size. Had to go to Home Depot to get right size screws that went into sink. Install is difficult, No template provided, but I really wanted a S.S. sink in my RV and this was only size that would fit.

Yes. My sink sits below the countertop, so the hole is drilled into the countertop itself. You could drill as few or as many holes as you need.
