What is the rough opening needed for this 18" sink?
1445909
This 18-inch sink has a rough opening of 16 x 13. Here is a link to the Kraus installation PDF: http://www.kraususa.com/pdf/kbu-16.pdf There is also a CAD drawing available. The 18-inch reference is to the width of the sink flanges which will be covered in the undermount by your countertop material.

I have a a standard-sized D-Shape corner sink. It fits perfectly! It is 18 inches wide and 13 inches deep. I hope this helps!

The threaded piece is an inch and a quarter. Should fit through a standard sink hole.

Our plumbing was too low so we had to cut the opening to make it bigger. So I, unfortunately, don't know the original size of the opening. Because of the drawer in the bottom the opening is higher than most vanities. The bottom of the opening is around 16.5 inches from the floor. We actually had to open the wall and move the drain pipe higher to accommodate the middle bottom drawer. The back was cut pretty easily with a jigsaw since it's a somewhat thin piece of masonite. You can cut the opening to a max of 17.5 inches wide and 15 inches tall. Hope that helps. Sheryl

It is 18 gauge. It is an excellent sink much better sink for the money than kohler

I think you would need a 33" minimum cabinet. The sink itself is 31" and it needs a couple of inches around it.

Don't remember exactly but not large probably about 3/8". Just match up and drill hole same or slightly larger than shank of threaded shank that goes thru sink. Hope this helps not difficult job.

The product description gives both the rough opening and flange to flange measurements. I measured my existing and matched it to the product description measurements.

Brian, Mine was a new installation so the granite fabricator used a template when he cut the opening in the granite for the sink. I do not know the cutout measurement. However as I said earlier in my post. Be aware that my Kraus 33 inch 50/50 sink needs help with drainage... I have to be vigilant about water pooling in the corners. Hope's perfect sink helps, a squeegee works, and constant cleaning and wiping is necessary.

My opening is approximately 30". I suggest you check the mfg. specs. I shopped around and found Amazon to be the best price by far. No problem with shipping or delivery. I was advised by a kitchen designer that Blanco stainless steel sinks are the best. Good luck!

I have a standard sink opening, however the top flange is extremely large so I would say yes... I did not use this actual unit as the color was way off from what I needed. This is not rubbed bronze more antique, so it was way off from my copper sink.

It depends...unfortunately the template which gives the exact opening comes w/the sink. Ours is a very tight fit; i.e., w/n 1/8" of neighboring drawer front (which we trimmed.) There are spec's available online I think on the Amazon site which give you the exact opening space as well ad depth (you have to consider the cabinet doors below. We had previously installed 12" ceramic tile countertops & had to trim it, especially at the back of the sink. Sorry that's not a lot of help but we took a chance & my husband is very handy. It looks amazing & I love it! (our cabinet was a little smaller than a standard 36" one so you may have no trouble at all. Good luck!

I love the sink and suggest you follow the specs. It's a big sink and really takes up the 36" base unit. Hopefully, Elkay makes a comparable sink for a smaller base unit.

Yes, you will need to trim the corner braces a bit but it's not difficult. BTW, great sink for it's size.

The sink is slightly concave so I don't think it would look right. Also it is not perfectly oval.

Good question! mine is already installed, so cant measure the rough in. Amazon has an easy return process though, just in case :)

Can't answer that with 100% certainty but would see no reason why it wouldn't as long as the hole for the drain is big enough to allow the top ring to fit. You will use plumbers putty to create the seal so it doesn't have to be a snug fit. If you are referring to an antique sink that may be a different scenario.Our 18 year old sink is cast with the ceramic (porcelain) coating. The unit doesn't have any strong vibration so cracking the cast shouldn't be an issue either. Hope that helps. Good luck.
