Any reason this sink couldn't be installed as a top-mount (drop-in)?

Jessica, Generally speaking, a top mount sink's flange will be finished in a manner that is intended to be exposed; it will not have a sharp edge, and will have a slight arch for support. An under mount's flange needs to be extremely flat to have a flush fitment to the surface of the counter top. Often, a sink company that has a "Dual" mount sink will have an arch with a flattened radius to have the solid surface fit correctly in under mount application, and have a smooth edge to accommodate the top mount application.

I do not think so because of the design but you should contact Ruvati directly to find out for sure.

not really an undermount sink. It is designed to drop into a hole and provide a lip around the edge. It clamps on from below.

Undermount ... as others indicated you have to have a platform built for it. I LOVE it ... for some reason the photo I am seeing now on the screen is not the same sink as the one you asked for a review on ...

Yes, it can. This is our second one of this sink. We "dropped it in," for kitchen 2o years ago, and in basement hobby room, in 2013. It can be under mounted. Love it!

I was advised that this sink should only be installed when using solid countertops. (Mine is granite - so no problem).

It is a drop in. (also known as top mount. That is verses an undermount sink that mounts under the countertop.

Yes, the sink we have is an undermount and it fits a 23 inch cabinet. I'm sure it would be ok for a top mount sink, just make sure it's a top mount and not an undermount sink. Good Luck!! BTW the sink is great, we use it as a prepping sink on a center island

It would be possible only if you installed corner bracing and an inlaid corner shelf unit to brace the sink. The brackets on the back of the sink unit are of utmost importance to make this sink secure. Therefore, a corner structure would need to be built first.

i had an older sink that was installed above the counter, went to an undermount and as long as the sinks are the same size it shouldn't be a problem. I do not have any of the small pull down door that holds a dish cloth or other small items so did not have to deal with that. I would only install an undercounter mount sink from now on. I do not know if you need any extra supports for your undermount or not. I also had a garbage disposer installed at the same time.

I don't see why not. You don't have to undermount this sink and besides, I've seen sinks undermounted with laminate countertops, so I'd say you are covered either way. Ask your countertop vendor.

I suspect that the cabinet itself is not big enough to accommodate the mounting brackets and even the width of the bowl. Certainly, even if were to fit, the faucet will not fit in the back.

You most likely can. You would need to acquire the top with a drop in sink. Notice that the vanity is a little low to take into account the vessel sink.

It can be mounted in either direction. The smaller sink isn't significantly shallower though.

The sink doesn't have a lip, so in the traditional sense, no. However, since the sides are finished like the top, you could flush mount it, or mount it raised. You'll just have to run a bead of clear silicone along the edge with the counter. No matter how you choose to mount it, this sink has to be supported from below, either with rails on the sides of inside of the cabinet, or with a shelf/platform that has holes cut in it for the drains. Ours is set up as an undermount with a 5/8" reveal around the top edge.

Not anymore than with other sinks. I changed my countertop as well and the countertop installers were able to install the sink and hook it up to exiting disposer. Love the sinK by the way, especially since I save a small fortune!

I don't know if it could be installed as a drop-in or not. I mounted it on the counter.

Yes this sink is designed for a dual install, self-riiming or undermount. Sink number 440174 is the same sink but can only be used as an undermount kitchen sink
