Need help picking a kitchen sink to fit with existing plumbing

last year

We are remodeling our kitchen. Just doing new countertops, sink, cooktop, faucet and backsplash. We have decided to go from a two bowl to a single bowl undermount workstation sink. Initially we were going to get a Kraus that has the drain on the far right back side. However, I'm very concerned it won't fit with our drain. As the photo shows (excuse the clutter), there are two drains, one on each side for the two bowl sink. Looks like those both go into a 4 inch line behind the wall. I'm afraid if we go with the single drain in the corner, there will not be room for the disposal and still be able to connect it to a trap. So, I'm thinking I should go with the center drain, which will put the disposal in the middle back of the cabinet and I think will give ample room for the plumbing. As far as center drain sinks workstation sinks, I keep seeing Ravati. Is that a good brand? Should I look at something else. The cabinet is 36" Thanks.

Get the sink you want please. Rerouting the drain pipes and accommodating your disposal aren't a problem. Ruvatti makes nice sinks.

To answer your question you have some homework to do. For the sink you want, download the 'sink spec sheet' from Kraus. Then, measure the inside of the sink cabinet, locating the drains, max diameter of the disposal, etc. Now make a plan view (overhead) of the sink/cabinet and locate everything relative to each other. With this you will be able to determine if things will fit as you desire.

You'd be better off modifying a base cabinet for something like that. You're going to need more depth than an upper can provide. And remember that it IS a safety issue to enclose any appliance that is not meant to be built in into cabinetry. I'd have an electrician create a "kill switch" outlet for the MW so that it couldn't operate with the doors of the cabinet closed. Because, that WILL happen if you have family members who aren't careful. Or you could consider one of the "space saver" type micros that are meant to hang from an upper cabinet and just shorten an upper cabinet enough to keep it inline with the lower edge of the other cabinets. That would be the simplest solution, and the safest because they already make a MW for that application. Any other solution does involve a bit more expense and risk on your part.

We are getting a new countertop, granite. Sink... stainless single bowl, about 32" (that's as large as I can fit) about 9/10" deep undermount The counter area the sink will live is pretty much in the middle of a 9' 2" long, about 40" deep spot and then the leg starts to head toward the stove, like an "L", but that is only about 14", then the stove, then an 18" counter spot and the end. Faucet... Type we are getting- a touchless type --high arc --pull down --one handle --no plate Material/Finish... My other half originally wanted, badly, ORB. But it seemed like it would not match well with the stainless sink. Not 100% on the finish yet. We could use some input here as well. I have always been a non chrome person. But...Our cabinets are a very dark, rich black/brown, one with glass doors, stainless range hood above the stove, appliances are black. There is a 7' wall of off white cabinets across from the dark ones and we are undicided if we should do the same color pulls on it or do brushed nickle, stainless or polished pewterish type. Our island pendants are dark cylinders like the dark cabinets. Our DR light is an open swirly thing with chrome. Our kitchen light is also funky and stainless (there is very little metal showing with theses. So, I am pretty sure we are going with oil rubbed bronze pulls on the dark cabinets (reduces eye clutter and I just love how they disappear). But putting ORB pulls on the off white cabs, for me gives it a countryish look, which is I like that look, but not sure if it will look fantastic with everything. Hopefully the pics help. We are standing in the LV looking into the kit. The pics have the DR light and the kit lights I was talking about.

Ok guys you were all so helpful before. What do you think of the new layout? We ended up moving the stove back to its own wall and putting larger (24”) counters and cabinets on either side. I may splurge and do a stove alcove type thing. Waiting on pricing to see what if it’s feasible. I am coming to terms with having to get rid of my dining room furniture. 😬😂 I am still hopeful that, while I may have to get rid of my pink velvet loveseat I bought just for this - I hope I can find a place for at least a larger comfy chair. I really want some soft seating for Sunday coffee and newspaper. I don’t want anything in the island and would prefer it to be more of a work table with an open bottom. I know that I would get a better layout if I would budge on that but I won’t. So knowing that the island is off limits for storage and fixtures how does this look? What am I missing? (Note that the island is not to scale. I had to add it in with my iphone. There will be at least 42” - in most places 48” around the island. Only two small stools that will fit under the island.)

I went with an offset drain in my new single basin. It was very easy for the installers to modify the existing drain pipe & trap to fit.

In my 30" base cabinet with the offset drain, I have a disposal, a soap dispenser, two cans on a pullout for trash and recycling, and another small can on another pullout for compost. Plus the dishwasher detergent, liquid detergent, sponges, cleanser, tape, flashlight, extension cord, dust cloths and a few other items.

You need to decide what is essential for under the sink, find homes for other things (if you can), and invest in cabinet organizers & pullouts that will work for you. Look at Ikea for ideas, and other companies that make/sell such (Google is your friend!) Especially look for either a two-tiered pullout (with the upper shelve narrow) or a pullout bin that attaches to the sidewall of the cabinet.

Sorry HU, but sink manufactures consistently specify oversize cabinets to allow fat plumber fingers to tighten their leaking sink clips. A 30" sink undermounts into a 30" cabinet; a 36" sink undermounts into a 36" cabinet, etc., when you strap, not clip or block, your sink in place. I don't care what the manufacturers say. I've made a living doing this.

I just wanted to agree with Joseph Corlett - mine isn't a 30" sink, but a 28" in the 30" base cabinet. Much nicer than the manufacturer recommended 24"!!
