Large single bowl overmount SS sink with offset drain?
Comments (6)thank you all. I suppose I should specify even more because I want something that has the integral deck for mounting the faucets. I am planning on laminate counter and I think the faucet should be on the sink deck. I love the huge Franke one with the drain in the corner but I believe it is undermount only. That is the problem - there are more sinks for undermount now in this category. Thanks for the input. Tina...See MoreRemote Pop-up Kitchen Sink Drain Pro or Con???
Comments (12)i went a web wending and i got results here is one link that works well http://www.designerhardware.com/Franke_Remote_Sink_Strainer_Basket_p/frk-900p.htm works well, because it includes a lot of explanation. and a diagram showing the sideways outlet. (BUt they didn't think to show the drain pipe coming out of it sideways so you would never know unless someone told you ... !) Alternative: Go to mountainplumbing.com click on kitchen click on the first link there. It's kitchen sink strainers. look at the options, and you'll see "Remote Pop-Up" Again it shows the thingie that sticks out sideways instead of downhill. Again, this is what the drain pipe gets stuck into. and that is how you get your kitchen sink drain to be redirected at a low cost. It actually takes up less space than the product called a drain elbow. So, if you want to save space, this is a solution. Compact plumbing. (compact DWV plumbing). it just so happens that a "remote drain pop-up" assembly gives you a tight-elbow bend without asking for it. It's an advantage they didn't ever think of showing. The manufacturers of this device have totally missed showing that it enables one to have a drawer base under the sink. They don't even think of showing you that the drain comes out sideways. on youtube they have bathroom pop-up videos, but nothing for the kitchen yet. Bathroom pop-ups do not send the pipe sideways. (And I don't know why not). here are some more web search results. searching using "elkay LKAD35" you get to see a complete Z-shaped drain pipe. I'm fairly certain that Once you've seen a photo of a drain pipe zigzagging like a Z (or half of a swastika) you'll wonder why in the world you needed to SEE the image. It is quite simple to imagine and to draw without any previous experience. Here it is on the ELKAY web site. This is the easiest way to get the P trap out of the way, without using a remote pop up device. http://www.elkayusa.com/cps/rde/xchg/elkay/hs.xsl/elkay-res-16470.aspx?pid=LKAD35 another web discussion concluded with "handicap sinks ... drain out the rear next to the back wall. Eminently legal also." more key words : Strainer with Remote Actuated Opening and Closing remote Pop-up Pop-up Basket Strainer franke pop up strainer franke pop up drain strainer franke pop up waste dual pop-up waste assembly Kohler has one: "... dry sink strainer dual cable drain allows you to open the sink drains without getting your hands wet. A simple rotation of the control dial activates the stopper(s) underneath the sink baskets." It looks like the Kohler one sends the pipe downhill instead of sideways. Great if that is what you want.

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 More33" white farmhouse single bowl offset drain. Not Rohl or Kohler?
Comments (11)Yes, apron front. But by looking up your sink I now see that Kohler offers the Whitehaven in a short AND tall apron front. Trying to see the exact difference in heights right now. Think it might be 2+" and I think that puts it close to the ones that I like height-wise. And the price is right there---a little over $800. Could be a winner! Thank you!
