Lipped Drop-in epoxy sinks produced by Durcon, Inc. are molded in one piece construction with inside corners coved, with the bottom dished to the drain outlet. All epoxy drop-in sinks should be installed by creating a routed groove 7/16" (11 mm) below the top surface of the epoxy or solid phenolic countertop, to receive the sink rim. The sink rim will be set in the rabbeted or rebated edge approximately 1.59 mm (1/16") to 3 mm (1/8") below the top of the countertop surface.

The rebated or rabbeted edge is typically prepared at the factory during fabrication of the epoxy or solid phenolic counter tops but may be routed in the field with diamond tipped routers. Set sink in 2-part epoxy adhesive, center in the cutout and fill remainder of groove with epoxy adhesive. Remove excess adhesive and or sealant while still wet and finish joint for neat appearance and reduction of open spaces that may collect water, liquids or bacteria. Double bowl drop-in, top mounted epoxy sinks are also specified and required at various laboratories. While we currently offer only one double bowl molded unit, a pair of equal sized or off-set sized epoxy sinks can be installed by cutting two separate cutouts into the surface of the epoxy or solid phenolic countertops.

Double bowl drop-in sinks typically require a minimum 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" (38 to 45mm) bridge or surface strip between the two installed sinks to support the edge and weight of epoxy sinks. See picture (below) for double bowl lipped drop-in epoxy sinks configuration.
