American Standard Pekoe 29 x 18-Inch Stainless Steel Undermount Double Bowl Kitchen Sink - AMS-18DB.9291800

It is an undermount. The Pekoe 29 x 18 mounts beneath the countertop for a clean deck edge, which means it needs a solid-surface, quartz, granite or similar counter that can carry the sink and be finished at the cutout. It is not a self-rimming drop-in and there is no deck for faucet holes, so the faucet has to be drilled in the countertop or wall.

No. Two waste fittings with grids ship with the sink, along with bottom grids for scratch protection, the mounting hardware, a cutout template and instructions. What you still need to source is the faucet, the tailpieces and trap for your drain configuration, and the silicone or adhesive your fabricator uses to set an undermount bowl.

Bowl depth is 9 inches, and the two bowls are offset rather than equal, so one side is larger than the other. The offset layout gives you room to lay a sheet pan or a large stockpot flat in the bigger bowl while still keeping a second bowl for rinsing.

18-gauge stainless steel, handmade construction. 18-gauge is the heavier end of what is common in residential kitchen sinks and resists denting and oil-canning better than the 20- and 22-gauge bowls typical of builder-grade drop-ins.

Order by manufacturer number 18DB.9291800.075. It is part of American Standard's Pekoe family, and stainless steel is the only finish it comes in. The 9028000.075 waste fittings with grids are the drain assemblies packed with it.

It is treated for that on two fronts. SoundSecure+ rubber pads are applied to the bottom and sides of the bowls to damp vibration, and StoneLock multi-layer spray insulation covers the underside for sound absorption. The spray coating also cuts condensation on the underside of the sink, which matters if the cabinet below holds anything moisture-sensitive.
