A 14-5/8-Inch Bar and Prep Sink for Tight Countertop Footprints

The Karran U-1517 is a compact single-bowl stainless steel bar and prep sink that mounts under granite, quartz, or solid surface countertops where a full kitchen sink would be too large.

Key Features

• 14-5/8-inch side-to-side length fits tight spots like island prep stations, wet bars, and butler's pantries.
• 18-gauge stainless steel construction in a single-bowl configuration with a 7-3/4-inch inside bowl depth.
• Undermount installation designed for granite, quartz, and solid surface countertops.
• 3-1/2-inch drain opening sized for a standard basket strainer or disposal flange.
• Minimum 18-inch cabinet width requirement keeps the install straightforward in any standard bar or prep cabinet.

Where a Compact Sink Does the Work

Not every sink station needs a large basin. A bar, a kitchen island prep end, a butler's pantry, or a secondary cleanup spot calls for something smaller: deep enough to handle glasses and produce, narrow enough to leave counter space on both sides. The U-1517 is sized exactly for those jobs. At 14-5/8 inches side to side, it fits a run of counter that a standard kitchen sink would overwhelm, and its 7-3/4-inch bowl depth handles a full colander or a stack of bar glasses without crowding.

Steel That Handles Daily Use

The bowl is 18-gauge stainless steel, a solid choice for a working sink that sees regular use. Stainless cleans easily and holds up to hot water, standard cleaning products, and the kind of everyday contact a bar or prep station gets. The undermount profile keeps the countertop surface continuous right to the bowl edge, so wiping down the counter takes one stroke rather than navigating a rim.

Planning the Install

This sink is for new countertop installations or full countertop replacements where the slab is being cut fresh. Because it is an undermount, it cannot drop into a laminate countertop or an existing cutout left over from a previous sink. It seats properly under quartz, granite, or solid surface, and it needs a cabinet at least 18 inches wide. At 16-5/8 inches front to back, it fits comfortably in a standard 21-inch base cabinet. Check the inside bowl dimensions, 13-5/8 inches by 15-5/8 inches, against any colander, grid, or cutting board accessory before ordering.

Common Questions

The Right Sink When Counter Space Is the Constraint

When the station is a bar, an island prep end, or a butler's pantry and the counter run is short, the U-1517 puts a full-depth stainless bowl exactly where it needs to go without giving up the surrounding workspace.
