Elkay Quartz Luxe sink install question
I just had this sink installed. I am not a plumber and no absolutely nothing about plumbing. I was also not there when the plumbing installation happened. But I think my drain install looks different than what is shown on the Elkay website. The first picture is a screenshot from the Elkay website, the second is my drain - I know the drain color is different, but the Elkay website doesn't show the same lip that my install has. Also, there was no splash guard included with ith the garbage disposal. Is that just something I purchase separately like off Amazon and put in myself? Will this solve the lip problem?

https://www.homedepot.com/p/InSinkErator-Evolution-Compact-Lift-Latch-Quiet-Series-3-4-HP-Continuous-Feed-Garbage-Disposal-COMPACT/100466655. And yes, it is installed.
Attached is a picture of the drain when the Elkay drain cover is removed. I am used to seeing a rubber splash guard or is that called a flange?
Whatever, it doesn't look anything like any sink I have seen before.Related Discussions
Granite/Quartz sinks (Blanco vs Swan vs Elkay vs...)
Comments (21)NyefNyef By "called Blanco", I meant I telephoned Blanco's US HQ and asked them to find me their sink within a 200 mile radius of my home. They pointed me to their regional sales teams, who could not locate it readily available, or in their nat'l warehouse. They said most of the time, nobody really stocks them and they're all custom ordered. No matter. Amazon & FedEx came thru. cal Ditto! I'd love to FedEx them too. breezyThanks for answering my original question. My suspicion was that they weren't as good, just based on how often I see Blanco mentioned and never hear the other makers. And compared to what we've spent already on things, you're right that $100 is a small price to get exactly what we wanted exactly when we need it....See MoreSinks! Blanco? Elkay?

Comments (33)Hi Haley, Sorry I just saw your comment. Here are some photos I have in my archive. I can take different angles tonight if these aren't helpful. FWIW, 6 months later and we still love this sink. The dark color matches our black stainless appliances, but also just makes the sink more of a shadow, which is good to avoid drawing eyes to dirty dishes! We use the faucet hose+sprayer to give it a good rinse every evening after cleaning up dinner to keep food from drying in place. We've given it 1 deep cleaning (we also have a grid on the bottom, so deep cleaning involved a thorough cleaning of that, too). The water filter is good for filling water to cook or a tea kettle. The soap dispenser is actually really nice because it keeps the counter tidy. The faucet is touch activated (got it before the remodel) and it's amazingly handy. We added an air button for the disposal (which by code has to have a manual light switch on the wall, which for us is not in reach of the sink) and it has never been pressed accidentally and is very useful so I recommend it. The dishwasher air gap is required by code here so no avoiding that!...See MoreElkay Luxe Quartz Sink in Ricotta
Comments (12)@lcm1986 I do not remember seeing the logo on there so the counter/tile contractor (or the plumber) removed it during install. Assuming one of them did, they did a good job because I cannot see any remnants from where the logo would have been located. I believe our counter contractor physically placed and set the sink, and then the plumber made all of the connections, installed the hardware and disposal, etc....See MoreElkay Apron Quartz Luxe with drip rail
