Blanco 516271 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Blanco 516271 grid fit any kitchen sink, or only certain Blanco models?
The 516271 bottom grid is custom-fitted to Blanco PRECISION 22 inch kitchen sinks. It is sized to that specific basin, so it is not a universal grid and should not be ordered for other sink models or other brands. If the sink in the job is a different Blanco series, order the grid built for that series instead.
2) Does the Blanco sink grid block access to the drain?
No. The grid has a rear drain opening, so the strainer and drain stay reachable with the grid sitting in the basin. Water drains underneath the grid while dishes rinse on top.
3) Will a stainless grid scratch the bottom of the sink it sits in?
The 516271 grid rides on non-skid protective feet and has side bumpers, so the stainless frame is held off the basin floor and away from the sidewalls. That is the point of the grid: it takes the impact from pots, dishes and utensils instead of the sink surface.
4) What is the difference between a bottom grid and a floating grid for a Blanco sink?
A bottom grid like the 516271 sits on the floor of the basin and protects the sink surface while letting water pass underneath. A floating grid sits higher in the basin and works as a working or drying surface rather than basin protection. Blanco also offers colanders and cutting boards that drop into the same sink. If the goal is keeping the basin from getting scratched, the bottom grid is the one to buy.
5) What part number and finish should I order for a Blanco Precision 22 inch sink grid?
Blanco part number 516271, stainless steel finish. That is the single configuration of this grid, so there is no handing, size or finish choice to make on the order.
6) Is the Blanco 516271 grid dishwasher safe, and will it rust in a commercial kitchen?
It's dishwasher safe and made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, which is what matters for a unit that lives wet. For property managers turning apartments, that means the grid can be cleaned in the machine between tenants rather than scrubbed by hand.
7) Can the Blanco bottom grid double as a drying rack?
Yes. Besides protecting the basin, it works as an in-sink drying rack for glassware, utensils and plates, since water drains through the grid and out beneath it.
