Is there room for a sink tip out in the Ticor S405 D shape sink?

15 years ago

I guess I should have thought of this before I purchased this from EBAY. How much clearance does a sink tip out need?

I'll call the KD tomorrow, but just thought I would ask here.

Thank you!

Outer Dimensions:23-5/8" x 21-1/4"

Inner Dimmensions:21-5/8" x 19"

I have one. But I think they're pretty useless, as most folks on this forum said. It doesn't fit much.

I should say it is the single D, not the double.

Janran,How do you like your sink? How deep is your tip out?

I might just do away with it anyway.

Thank you for the responses. DD and I are experiencing one of the greatest joys of a reno---figuring out how to make every half inch count. When she started on this project she knew every inch could matter and is now afraid that she will soon be down to obsessing over millimeters. She has decided that her sink size and placement is the key to her entire kitchen. If she can get the sink far enough to the right on her long wall, she can shift the DW to the left of the sink and get a trash pullout on the right. The latest iteration of the plan calls for a sink base no wider than 30" with the goal to achieve the most sink space possible and still get that DW on the left. From measuring her cookies sheets and roasting pans 22" x 15 1/2" (16" would be better) is the least rectangle that she thinks is functional. I was up into the wee hours last night looking on line and Elkay had the best website for stating exactly the minimum size base cabinet for each sink. In general, I'm estimating that an effective interior sink width of 22" would be found with an overall 24" wide sink which would then require at least a 27" wide cabinet. So the best that she can hope to get in her 30" sink base would be a 27" wide sink that has an effective interior width of 25" or so. Most brands of sinks, though, seem to jump from offering 24" wide to 30" wide with nothing in between. Has anyone seen a 27" wide sink available anywhere? Thanks, again.

ticor sink S105DR or S405DR?
Q
Comments (3)
If your seating is behind the sink, then it doesn't matter...the S105DR is 20.5" deep and the S405D is 21" deep...so only a 1/2" difference. Regardless of sink choice, be sure to mount the faucet b/w the bowls and just above the divider. The faucet will line up with the top of the large bowl and will not take up additional room behind the sink. If seating is on the side, I'd have to see your layout to tell you. Personally, I would go with the 405 b/c the large bowl is quite a bit (relatively speaking) wider in it than in the 105 (21.5" vs 17.75"). I don't think my longest cookie sheets & pans would fit in the 105. BTW...you are probably not getting follow-up postings emailed to you even though you checked the box requesting them. This is b/c you do not have the email option turned on in your profile. See the "Read Me" thread's section "Getting Emails Sent To You...3-step Process" (see the link below).

Ticor Sink: Is this Acceptable?
Q

Looking at your picture, it looks like you took it with the camera further back then the hole. To get a true look, the picture needs to be taken directly over the drain and not just over the center of the sink since the hole is towards the back. Anything that is less then 100% directly over the hole will start to look misaligned since the grate and sink are at different heights and you get the angle effect. Even if it is a 1/4 inch off, I say no big deal and its just one of these things we have to live with in life at times.

Can I see pictures of your D shape sink ?

The sink is not Ticor. It is the freebie that the Silestone people gave me. I am happy with it but did have trouble finding a grid for it. I bought a Ticor for the island sink and really like it and the grid so then I wanted to get the grid for the big sink. I hate to say that I have not been happy with the soap dispenser. It does wiggle around and not stay anchored well. I planned on calling their customer service because somebody here said they did that and Delta replaced it and the replacement was better. I also thought about putting down some kind of caulk or silicone that might hold it more secure....just haven't done it yet. I love the stainless. Even though it is more expensive, I felt like it is worth it for long term happiness. :) After all, why scimp on something that will be used many times every day. I think I bought my faucets from efaucets - I'll have to check. I basically just searched the internet until I found the best price. I also have the Allora prep faucet for the island sink.

Positano--I had a sink tip out in my last house and I loved it. It was the perfect place to keep the nail brush, nail file, scrubbing pad, steel wool pad, old toothbrush for cleaning stuff... and my rings. Actually, I ordered the kit & installed it myself and would have had one in this house but don't have enough room for one. (I'd love to have them in the bathrooms, too.)

As far as space req'd, here's a link with a couple of different options. The slim series requires 1 11/16''; can't find info for the other style. Keep in mind that you'll have approx. 3/4'' of space available where the false front sits on the face frame. IOW, get a measurement of how much space is between the sink & face frame & add 3/4'' to that.

If you're doing custom countertops, you can also bump out the sink cabinet (or the entire run) a bit in order to gain some extra space.

I really wanted a sink tip out, so I got one. I have the smaller rectangle Ticor sink, not the D bowl, and it fit well. I don't know if it would have fit with the D bowl. Anyhow, now that I have it, I don't use it. The reason is the wonderful sink grate that Ticor gives you for the sink! I just leave my sponge sitting on the grate and it's out of site. I think you'll love your sink grate, more than the tip out. Good luck!

I have the S405D with a tip-out, but my sink base is bumped out 3" with slightly angled corners. That gave me a little bit more room.

I've had my new cabinets for about 1 1/2 months now, and really don't use the tip-out other than for storing the drain lid. I love hanging my hand towl on the tip-out cabinet pull!

BTW, I LOVE the 405D sink. I didn't know if I'd use the grates or not, but I wouldn't go without them now. I like having the flat grate surface to rest things on, and when I run the water the things sitting on the grates don't get wet.

Good luck!

I have a slightly smaller ticor sink. I put in tip-outs and like them, good for extra sponges & dishwasher pellets. Someone else on GW even suggested putting garlic in there which I am experimenting with.

I have the Ticor 405D in a standard sink base and have tip outs in front of both sides of the sink. They fit fine. They're less useful than I thought they would be, but they do provide a place to store sponges and the bottle brush.
