Compact single-bowl sink with centered drain
Free CAD block from the Kitchen sinks library (155 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Compact single-bowl sink with centered drain, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, all three projected from its 3D model so they match to the millimeter. It measures 19½" wide, 17½" deep and 12" high (49 cm × 45 cm × 30 cm), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
It also comes as a 3D model built from these drawings.
From the Kitchen sinks library: 155 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Under half a meter (19½ in) wide, this single bowl with its drain in the middle fits the plans where the sink is a secondary one: a bar sink in a living room, a laundry room, a hotel kitchenette, a laboratory bench, a garage wash station. It drops onto a floor plan or a millwork layout in a 24 in (60 cm) base cabinet.
Clearances to leave
At 19½ in (49 cm) wide and 17½ in (45 cm) deep, the bowl leaves about 2 in (5 cm) either side in a 24 in (60 cm) base and a ledge behind on a 25 in (64 cm) countertop. Keep one 18 in (46 cm) landing beside it; a prep sink can live with 24 in (60 cm) of aisle in front where no one passes behind.
Pairs with
Its elevation companions are Compact sink with gooseneck faucet and P-trap and Sink bowl with rim and drain tailpiece, while Single-lever kitchen faucet with round base supplies the missing faucet in plan. Hot water urn with sight glass and front spigot sits on the adjacent bar counter.
