Mixing brass faucet with undermounted stainless steel sink?
Comments (5)I was really concerned about how it would look too. Kitchen isn't done but this gives you an idea. I'm very happy with it. FWIW I got a Kraus faucet with the filtered water dispenser integrated in the faucet and I LOVE IT....See MoreNew KRAUSS undermount stainless steel 16 guage sink rusting!!!
Comments (24)Most likely contamination, but stainless can of course corrode as well if exposed to certain conditions (that’s why there are thousands of different alloys). Most stainless is sold to ASMT/ASME standards stipulating the chemical composition, but what some are pointing out is that there is an allowed range for each alloying element and generally Asian manufacturers alloy low to maintain a low cost. A 304/304L SS from brand x is not necessarily alloyed as high as a 304/304L from brand y. The chemical composition, even within the allowed min/max range for the same alloy will have an impact on the corrosion resistance. Still, I think this is contamination and should come out. If not, you can remove it mechanically and the steel will reform the chromium oxide layer....See MoreLooking for 28" stainless steel undermount sink 9" deep
Comments (5)Measure your cabinet from the seam between the drawers/doors to the dishwasher please. I'll bet it's 30". A 30" sink will undermount into a 30" cabinet with no problems....See MoreHelp! Stainless steel undermount kitchen sink for 30" cabinet
Comments (20)"When you sandwich the sink rim between the heavy counter material and the cabinet side there's zero extra space if the cabinet side tops are all installed level. No possiblity of any space opening in the future.." Good theory, little real-world relevance. First, the sink flange would have to be rabbeted into the cabinet tops perfectly flush. Secondly, tops aren't the exact same thickness throughout and nearly all have to be shimmed somewhat. That means there will be a gap the thickness of the shims between the sink flange and stone bottom. That means an uneven silicone joint and on the recommended slight positive reveal that won't look good. When a sink is pushed against a stone bottom by straps, the gap is tight and consistent no matter what the shims are doing. Furthermore, if the sink ever has to be replaced, it's now much more difficult because the cabinet sides have to be unzipped to get the sink out and reinstalled to get the new sink in. A strapped sink is replaced in little over an hour by backing off two bolts. Using cabinet tops to support sinks is not good practice....See MoreGauchoGordo1993
