American Standard Ovalyn Small Under Counter Sink With Glazed Underside - AMS-495300

Yes, the Ovalyn small sink is an under counter mount lavatory. It fastens beneath the countertop, so the counter material carries the deck and the sink rim sits hidden under the cutout edge. That makes it a fit for solid surface, granite, quartz, or marble tops that can be polished at the cutout. It is not a drop-in and it will not self-rim on a laminate top.

A mounting kit and a cutout template ship with the sink. For a contractor that means the clips and studs are in the carton and the template gives the fabricator the cutout line. You still supply the silicone or setting adhesive and, on a stone top, whatever anchoring the fabricator specs for the substrate.

Not without changing the top. An undermount bowl needs a counter that can be cut and finished at the reveal, like stone or solid surface, and it hangs off that counter rather than resting a rim on it. A laminate top has an exposed particleboard core at the cutout, which is why drop-in or self-rimming bowls are used there. If you are keeping the laminate, order a self-rimming lavatory instead.

The underside is glazed. On an undermount bowl the exterior is visible from inside the cabinet and, at the cutout reveal, from above, so a glazed exterior wipes clean and does not hold moisture or soil the way raw bisque does. Note the rim itself is left unglazed, since that edge sits up against the adhesive and clip line under the counter.

Yes, it has a front overflow. That means you can use a standard pop-up drain assembly with an overflow port rather than a grid drain. If your spec or local code calls for an overflow on lavatories, this bowl satisfies it.

No. Being an undermount bowl, it has no deck and therefore no faucet holes, so the faucet is drilled into the countertop and bought separately. The drain assembly is also separate; pick a pop-up or lavatory drain with an overflow port to match the bowl's front overflow.

Vitreous china. It is the standard material for commercial lavatory bowls, fired with a nonporous glaze that resists staining and takes routine disinfectant cleaning, which is why it turns up in office, school, and hospitality restrooms. Treat it as it should be treated: china chips on hard impact, so handle it carefully during setting.

White only, ordered as part number 495300.02. If you are standardizing restrooms across a building, that single finish keeps every bowl matching without color-matching between shipments.
