The 16-Gauge kitchen sink top mount is a single-bowl, countertop stainless steel sink with a simple, rugged appearance, perfect for both quartz and wood countertops.
The entire sink is constructed from 16-gauge plate approximately 1.5mm thick. The stainless steel ratio of 18:18 chromium to 8:10 nickel provides enhanced dent and impact resistance. Punched and drawn in a single step without welds, the 16-Gauge Kitchen Sink Top Mount can withstand a single point load of at least 45 kg, even under concentrated loads such as cast iron pots and baking trays. Its surface features a triple-H fine brushed finish with a corrosion-resistant treatment, maintaining its metallic luster even after prolonged exposure to detergents and hot oil, making it ideal for the robustness requirements of frequent cooks.
The recommended 16-Gauge Kitchen Sink Top Mount has a dimensions of 737 x 508 mm. The recommended opening is 711 x 483 mm, and the inner tank measures approximately 686 x 406 x 230 mm, equivalent to approximately 60 liters. The bottom features a gentle slope of 1.5 to 2 degrees, supplemented by radial drainage ribs, allowing fresh water to quickly flow into the center drain. The nine-inch deep cavity accommodates high-sided woks and long-handled baking pans, making soaking and rinsing easier.
The 16-Gauge Kitchen Sink Top Mount's exterior is covered with a 3mm composite sound-damping pad, covering at least 75% of the surface area, effectively absorbing the sound of falling water and metal-on-metal collisions. A 0.5mm anti-condensation coating is sprayed on the bottom to prevent condensation from forming outside the sink during cold water use in summer, protecting wooden countertops and drawer sides. A flexible buffer strip is added to the flange contact surface to reduce echoes during nighttime cleaning, ensuring uninterrupted communication in open kitchens.
The flange on the countertop is approximately 25mm wide, with a 3 to 3.5mm folded edge, creating a rigid frame that evenly distributes stress. The 16-Gauge Kitchen Sink Top Mount comes with eight to ten stainless steel elastic clips and a full-circle 2.5 to 3mm silicone sealing strip, suitable for countertops with a thickness of 20 to 40mm. After the sink is installed, it's pressed from below, creating a seamless seal. Water doesn't seep into the countertop, and even with thermal expansion and contraction, it won't warp or leak.
The 16-gauge Kitchen Sink Top Mount features a fine-grain straight brushed wire with R10 rounded corners, ensuring a residue-free edge. Wipe with a neutral detergent for up to 500 times, resulting in minimal color change and quick removal of oil and water stains. The surface resists fingerprints and reflects evenly under kitchen lights. The fine-mesh basket and stainless steel cover prevent spillage and allow for easy removal for cleaning, making daily maintenance easier.
The 16-gauge Kitchen Sink Top Mount comes with a paper cutting template and a positioning ruler. Carpenters can drill holes according to the lines and install the sink. Drilling, applying glue, snap-on back pressure, and connecting the sink to the drain are typically completed in 30 to 45 minutes. It's recommended for use with 33-inch base cabinets, with a clear undercounter width of 737mm. The top-mounted solution avoids damaging the underlying support structures, reduces dust and downtime, and is suitable for quick weekend renovations and batch projects.
Without dismantling the cabinets, simply drill holes in the existing countertop according to the template and then install the grooves directly. The snap-on counterpress and full-circle sealant are completed in one step. The 230mm deep cavity accommodates high-sided woks and baking trays, and the rolled edge provides a clear dry and wet area on the countertop. The old drain is directly connected with a 114mm opening. The 16-Gauge Kitchen Sink Top Mount and faucet can be replaced in half a day and put into use as usual the next morning.
Clean the kitchen on the handover day. R10 rounded corners reduce dead spots, and the brushed surface of the 16-Gauge Kitchen Sink Top Mount can be restored to its original brightness with a neutral detergent. The anti-condensation coating reduces the risk of moisture in the cabinet. Inspection simply requires verifying the tightness of the snaps and the seal. Standardized opening dimensions and accessory specifications facilitate the use of standard spare parts within a building, resulting in faster room transitions, shorter vacancy times, and a high-turnover operation model.
The space behind the bar is compact. The 737 x 508 mm 16-gauge Kitchen Sink Top Mount avoids congestion while providing a large standby area. Milk jugs and filter cups are placed on a drain rack after soaking, and the sound-absorbing layer controls echoes during nighttime rinses. Closing the shop with a basket for draining and a single rinse completes the process within ten minutes, saving time preparing for the next day's opening.
Bulk delivery emphasizes standardized openings and a consistent appearance. The 737 x 508 mm 16-gauge Kitchen Sink Top Mount and 711 x 483 mm template facilitate on-site, continuous installation. Cabinetry and plumbing teams coordinate on a fixed schedule, and subsequent maintenance requires replacements of the same specifications. The warehouse only needs to manage the corresponding drain components and sealing strips, reducing model number confusion and on-site waiting time. In-store installation at building material stores
The apartment emphasizes durability and ease of maintenance. The 16-gauge Kitchen Sink Top Mount solution reduces the number of fittings, centralizing inspection points above the countertop. Dormitory managers inspect the clips for tightness, seal integrity, and trap water seal height by room number. The brushed surface is fingerprint-resistant and can be restored to a uniform appearance with a mild detergent, ensuring smooth handovers between semesters and more organized management of common facilities.
