American Standard Aspirations Drop-In Sink With 8-Inch Centers - AMS-1721008

It is a drop-in, top-mount sink. The rim is self-rimming, so it sets down into the countertop cutout and the edge carries the weight on the deck surface. No sink clips, rails, or undermount support frame are needed, which is why it works on laminate as well as solid surface tops. If your countertop is already cut for an undermount bowl with a polished stone reveal, this is the wrong mounting style for that opening.

A cutout template ships with the sink, so you can mark and cut the countertop opening without having to trace the bowl or chase a spec drawing. For a remodeler replacing an older drop-in, cut the template against the existing hole before you pull the old bowl, since a self-rimming sink only covers so much overhang.

The bowl is vitreous china with a glossy glazed surface. It is a non-porous, stain-resistant finish that cleans with standard bathroom cleaners, and the glaze carries EverClean, an antimicrobial treatment that inhibits growth of bacteria and mold on the surface. For property managers turning units, china is the usual choice over cultured marble because the glaze does not dull from routine cleaning.

Yes, and it is a front overflow, positioned at the front of the bowl to drain off water before it spills onto the counter. Because it has an overflow, use a drain assembly and pop-up made for an overflow lavatory; a non-overflow grid drain will block the overflow channel.

No. The sink ships as the china bowl with its cutout template. The lavatory pop-up or grid drain, tailpiece, P-trap, supply stops, and the faucet itself are all ordered separately. Plan on a 1-1/4 inch lavatory drain and trap, which is the standard size for a bathroom basin.

White is the finish offered, ordered as American Standard part number 1721008.02. The .02 suffix is American Standard's white code, so a facility standardizing on white china across restrooms can spec the same number for repeat orders.
