Do you have a Ticor Sink? I wonder if I do.

14 years ago

I purchased a Ticor 32" sink from Overstock. Model #SS6503. On the day of templating for my granite, I noticed that there is stamp in the back of the sink with the manufacturer's name. (I'm not one big on advertising, so I was planning on putting this on the front side of the sink so it wouldnt be visible).

However, the sink is not here because it is at the fabricator's shop--so I can't check this for sure, but I think that the stamp that is in there does not say Ticor.

If you have a Ticor sink, can you tell me if you see something similar? I'm curious if I was ripped off. I must say, the sink is NOT as heavy as I thought it would be, but that is probably just me second guessing. It is supposed to made from 16 gauge ss. The box does say Ticor, by the way.

And while we're at it, anybody else ever put the label in the front so you can't see it? The drain is perfectly centered, so no big deal.

Thanks so much.

I bought a ticor from Overstock about a year ago, and there is not a stamp on the inside of my sink. I can't remember if Ticor was stamped on the outside. It was very very heavy, compared to the same size 18 gauge sink I purchased locally (and then returned).

There's no manufacturer's name on my sink....at least not that I remember seeing. (I'm not home right now so I can't check.) Are you saying the stamp is in the interior of the sink so you can see the name once the sink is installed (and every time you use it)?

What did the box say that the sink came in? Our box had "Ticor" in big letters on the sides.

Here are the best pics I could find that show the inside of our sink...

Good, I'm glad you all seem to concur with my conclusion. I'd hate to give up precious counter space for another smaller sink. Seems like it wouldn't work in my kitchen. I do not like the setup of my frig/oven wall. I will have to work on that when we get to that point!

Do you have a Ticor S815 sink?

I'm considering this sink (interior dimensions are 14 in. x 14 in. x 8 in.) for the prep sink in my new island. If you have it, what's been your experience with it so far? I'd like a bigger sink, but I'm limited in size (13 in. x 15 in., or equivalent) by my local water management district, and I need a center drain because of cabinet and plumbing issues. If you've seen any other stainless steel sinks about this size with a center drain, please let me know. Thanks!

Absolutely. You will find many proponents of a single bowl kitchen sink and there is no problem installing a garbage disposal with them.

I am a kitchen and bath designer and ordered MR Direct products for 4 months because I didn't have another supplier. Now that I do, I'm saying goodbye to MR Direct and the headaches that come with being their customer. Their porcelain & fireclay sinks show up broke all the time. Copper sink show up dented. They've replaced 5 broken sinks, set back installations, and if they refund you, they do not refund shipping (even though it's UPS's fault for the breakage). They don't mark the boxes "fragile" half the time. The final straw happened yesterday. They replaced a broken sink with a new model (we paid the upcharge and shipping to do so). That sink also showed up broken. Because we were a bit later to let them know, they are refusing a refund or a replacement. I would not use this company for anything over $50. You may regret it. We're losing over $600 because we DO know what good customer service is, and we WILL refund our customer. They are well aware that UPS breaks their sinks, but they use them as an excuse. "It's past UPS's policy". What about their policy? We're not UPS's customer, we were MR Direct's customer. Save yourself the headache. Don't order from this company.

Yes, it is stamped along the back, near the top. I saw this with Artisan sinks at the granite showroom. For some reason when I noticed it for the first time (when the templator was here I didn't even read it), I just went "eww, I'll put that on the front side so you can't see it.

The box absolutely says Ticor with the model # on it.

I am not sure why all of this just dawned on me. It's too late to do anything about it, since my slab has been cut, but I certainly will go back to Overstock about this.

I just sent an email to Ticor. They have answered my previous emails about a sink grid, so hopefully I will hear from them. Maybe I'll stop by the granite shop tomorrow to visit the sink and see what it says on the inside.

As long as you hear back from Ticor, I'd say you aren't stuck either way. If they say it isnt a genuine Ticor, then OS will most likely pay to have it shipped back. And if it is a genuine Ticor, you'll be all set.

no stamping of any names on my Ticor (I picked it up directly from galaxy tool supply). Best of luck

Last night I was online with Customer Service at Overstock. They say that the description doesn't say it is a Ticor. Pretty funny, since it is exactly the same photo used by Galaxy, and the exact description, and oh yeah--it comes in a Ticor box!

This morning I woke up, filled out my return request, and am planning on running over to the granite fabricator's shop to see what he thinks. If he thinks I should just keep it and not run the risk involved in having Galaxy overnight one to me and then we check to see if it will fit or not.

You can see I started another link about this once I realized this is NOT a Ticor sink. ugh.

Oh, I wouldn't return this one until after the granite was installed with the other one!
