Center drain or offset in single bowl sink
Comments (13)I have (in the shipping box, waiting for kitchen to be ready for it) this one. It's an Elkay, stainless undermount, left, rear drain. Edited to add- I chose offset largely so that I could fit an trash pullout under (one side of) the sink. I chose left (my model comes in left/right or center) because I'm left handed & figured I'd be likely to be holding trash in my left hand, and my right hand would be free to open the pullout on the right....See MoreSinks: center or side drain & ideal depth of sink
Comments (7)As for how deep, how tall are you? How long are your arms? Do you have small children that occasionally will be using the sink? The deeper the sinks are, the more you'd need to reach. However, too shallow and you may have some difficulty washing large pots, cookie sheets, etc. I'm in a wheelchair, basically, think of me as being short =), so, if the sink is too deep, I'd be having a hard time reaching down the sink to pick up items and to clean it. I have a double-bowl sink. One side is 9" deep and the other side is 7" deep. I find these depth combination are comfortable for washing and for reaching. Any sink deeper than 9" would be a bit difficult to reach for me....See MoreSingle bowl sink owners, do you have a rear or rear side drain?
Comments (16)Hi all, I know I am reviving an old thread, BUT: I would like to get the sink mentioned above a few times (25" Elkay with rear left drain). However, my plumber is concerned that the plumbing might be tight and said he'd never done one before. My sink cabinet will be 30" wide and my wall drain is centered. Can anyone reassure me this will work? Or do I need to order a sink with left center drain (e.g., not rear), or a center rear drain? My goal is to free up space on the other side of the sink cabinet for a pullout trash. Thanks! ETA: I will not have a garbage disposal....See MoreHelp me find a composite granite sink (single bowl, drain on one end)
