American Standard Aqualyn Drop-In Sink With 4-Inch Centerset Less Overflow - AMS-476928

No. This version of the Aqualyn is built less overflow, so the bowl drains only through the waste opening. Pair it with a grid or open (non-overflow) lavatory drain, since a drain body with overflow ports will not have anything to vent into on this basin.

The Aqualyn 476928 ships with a cut-out template, so the exact opening is scribed from the template supplied in the carton rather than laid out by hand. The bowl itself is 16 inches wide, 10 inches front to back and 5-5/8 inches deep, so the counter needs enough depth behind the faucet holes to clear that bowl plus the self-rimming flange.

Only a short shank dispenser. American Standard calls for a short shank soap/lotion dispenser on this basin, because the china deck thickness at the accessory hole does not leave room for a long-shank unit. Order the dispenser separately and confirm it is the short shank version before install.

It is a self-rimming oval counter top sink. The tapered rim sits on top of the counter and carries the weight of the basin, so it sets into the cutout with sealant rather than being clamped from below like an undermount. That makes it a straightforward swap on laminate, solid surface or stone tops.

The faucet drilling matches at 4 inch centers, but this one is the less-overflow version. If the existing basin has an overflow, the drain assembly in it is almost certainly an overflow-type pop-up, and that body will not seal correctly here. Plan on a new non-overflow lavatory drain with the sink, and re-cut or verify the counter opening against the supplied template since bowl dimensions differ between Aqualyn models.

Vitreous china. It is a fired, glazed ceramic body, so the surface is non-porous, cleans with standard washroom chemicals and will not stain or scratch the way a cultured marble or enamelled steel basin does. That is why it is a common spec for apartment turns, hotel guest baths and light commercial restrooms.

White only, ordered as part number 476928.02. There is no other finish on this model, which makes it easy to standardize across a building where the rest of the fixtures are white china.
