Where can I buy a sink grid for my Benchmark SS sink?

16 years ago

The sink is D-shaped and provided by Benchmark when they did my granite. My paperwork says the model is BMS2321 (I assume their own brand it looks like.) Where do I find a sink grid for this? I thought it would be easy, but so far no luck at Lowes or Target. I'm heading to BB&B later, but don't see them on their website. I'd rather buy one at a store than order online, and even if I had to order online, a google search of my model sink doesn't show anything.

I would suggest taking a measurement of the sink and going over to Ferguson (used to be L&H plumbing)On Cedarbridge Ave. in Lakewood. Im assuming you live close by since you got your granite at benchmark. I dont know if you have ever been in their showroom but Im sure they will have one that fits, I would think most brands have the same size sinks.

Thanks, dd70-yes, I'm local to the Ferguson showroom. I just picked up my sink strainer from there. I assumed that I could pick up the grid anywhere-LNT, BB&B, etc. I swear I have seen them out there before in stores, but it escapes me now, LOL. I'm trying BB&B, and if not, I'll have to wait till next weekend to hit the showroom. I was really hoping to just grab one since I'm afraid to stick dishes in my shiny new sink! Maybe I'd have luck at home depot?

Is a Shaw sink grid in my future?

Thanks hmsweethm and prill. I just hate to order the grid and then not like it as I know it's pretty pricey. My little plastic thing I got from The Container Store was not. I just really don't see any other way out, though. In my mind, I have to have something in there. I already have a very tiny chip...don't know how in the world that happened. I always blame it on my husband. Would you mind saying where you got your grid....that is if you got a good deal on it. LOL. I have been very fortunate in that my local plumbing supply has had excellent prices on all my needed items. They also carry lighting and I was recently surprised that they had an excellent price on a Minka ceiling fan...better price then anywhere online. Thanks again, pup

Who sells Zero Radius Sink Grid for 32' sink?

Comments (3)
Hi roulie, If I google 32" stainless sink grid, lots of results given. "The Find" seems to have links to lots of different suppliers. Here is one that has a zero radius grid with the hole in the back: http://www.needplumbingsupplies.com/Kindred-Kitchen-Accessories.asp?id=20950&NpsRfrSrc=BizRate&NpsRfrMfg=9 btw, I just used needplumbinsupplies for my pot filler & soap dispenser--great prices with the online coupon they offer. I ordered it yesterday and it already shipped! I bought my sink from Overstock, Model # SS6503. Galaxy Tool Supply also has it, but they couldn't meet the price of the Overstock with coupon. rubyfig, I did look at their website, but I really didn't see what I needed. I think I will have to call them directly or email them. Thanks!

Can I get an undermount sink, if my cabinets are recessed under sink?
Q
Comments (2)
You need to make a very accurate measurement from the bottom of the top to the top of the recess cabinet rail. Is it 8 1/2" or not? If so, an 8" deep sink will fit by 1/2". The other dimensions become irrelevant. If your engineered stone is 2cm with a 2cm edge build up, the bottom of the stone has now moved up 2cm which is a strong 3/4". Now you've got 8 1/2" + 3/4" = 9 1/4" which will accommodate most sinks. On a remodel, your cabinets may need to be shimmed on the top to get to level anyway, but I'd pick up the 1/16" + needed to get a Kohler 3821 into that top anyway. Make sure the sink you pick doesn't have a centered drain please; you want your disposal to clear. I strongly recommend a large single bowl sink.

How can I fuse the circle back together to my sink grid?

If you know of a weld shop that will work for $10 let the world know, but a welder won't touch your grid for less the $149.95. Ugly will depend on the welder and how he welds it, mig, tig or torch. If you can solder you should be able to silver solder but you need a hotter torch. A Mapp gas torch is hot enough to silver solder and stainless is one of the easiest metals to use it on. Real Silver solder contains 45% to 65% silver and what you should use.

Ok, i know you didn't want to buy online but here is a link, many people here have used this web site. I dont think I have seen any D shaped in the local stores....but do try Home Depot because I know they carry Blanco and they make D shapes.
Good Luck in your search, when Im out I will keep my eye open for you and let you know if I see one!

Jess I was wondering how you are liking the sink. I have not ordered my granite yet, but am considering their sink. I am just not sure if it s the size I want.

sheila, I have to admit-the sink is beautiful! It's actually an Artisan 16 gauge sink, and seems really thick. (not much to compare to since I had a cheapy HD top mount before.) Searching Artisan on GW, it seems they do make a very high quality sink.

Benchmark did a great job installing. We did have a big boo boo when one of my slabs broke in the driveway on a Thursday. The poor installer had to feel my wrath, since I was so over living without plumbing any longer and certainly not for another weekend, and the piece that broke made it impossible for my cooktop, dishwasher, or sink to be installed. I had an electrician and plumber scheduled for the next day. Benchmark stepped up to the plate and fabricated a new slab for me that night even tho it was already around 3pm. According to the supervisor they halted other production and worked late to make it happen as well as to squeeze me into the install schedule the next morning. I was so happy to get it installed very first thing the next morning! Mistakes and accidents happen, and it's how a business deals with them and makes them right that's important and Benchmark did the right thing by me. I can't complain.

And an FYI to those Benchmark customers looking for a sink grid-Benchmark keeps a few on hand and can order them I believe (might be a good idea to ask for one when ordering the granite to make sure it's in stock) and they are very very reasonably priced. I got a D-shaped sink, and the grid was $30 with Benchmark. This was the same make/model/mfr grid I saw online for $80, made by the sink's manufacturer.
