Single bowl sinks will only have one outlet. If you want a garbage disposal, it comes with a flange already. You only need to purchase a separate decorative flange if you want something other than the stainless. Like ORB. Which I don't recommend. People tend to use chemicals around sink drains, and nickel and ORB don't always react well to them.

There are many different models of the Whitehaven, so be sure you understand the difference between the retrofit models and the ones that fit in a farm sink base that are for new construction.

Thanks for the input @GreenDesigns

I don't understand what you mean about the models on the Whitehaven though, they are all self-trimming from what I see. Am I not reading it correctly? I am installing in a 36" farm sink base and when I asked my cabinet guy, he said that it would work fine.

I'm planning on getting the Whitehaven too. In, for example, the 33"w there are two different models. One for retrofitting existing non-sink-base base cabinets. And one for new install sink base cabinets that are made for farm sinks.

Their website is less than helpful because I don't think it comes up when you do a comparison. I had to poke around and what finally cleared it up for me were the installation videos and the drawings on the install instructions (or whatever they call them). The depth of both sinks is the same, but the front panel that works to self-trim it is short on the retro/short-apron one (K-5826) and longer on the new-install/tall-apron one (K-5827).

I'm glad you brought this up, because here's my question...
I'm getting new cabinets, so I could definitely get a apron front sink base cabinet. But the one in the Innermost line has a 13+" area above the doors and the Whitehaven that's NOT for retrofitting is 9+". That seems like a lot of wasted space and like it will look weird.

I'm not 100% sold on the Whitehaven. DH is. I love the look and function of an apron front, but our home is modern/transitional. So I'm thinking of going with a 'normal' sink base and the shallower front model because I think it would look less farm-y and more modern. Thoughts?

I asked a similar question over in the plumbing, but it appears to be a much quieter forum. I am also getting a single bowl Whitehaven. I won't have a disposer, so do I need to buy one of the strainer assemblies? Home Depot has several ranging in price from $28 to upwards of $100, and I can't tell the difference from their overviews and specifications (some of the specs are obviously incorrect - e.g., showing an assembled height of 0.875").

So does the sink come a strainer or is the 'duostrainer' necessary? If one needs to be purchased, aside from correct size, what features are needed/recommended?
