A Wide-Format Damped Lid for a Satin Stainless Steel Countertop Grommet

The Sugatsune AZ-GD180-HL is a multi-purpose lid with a built-in damper designed for the AZ-GD series grommet system. At 218mm wide with a Satin Stainless Steel finish, it covers a larger countertop opening and closes under controlled resistance rather than dropping freely.

Key Features

• Built-in damper controls the closing motion so the lid settles down rather than falling shut.
• 218mm flange width suits a wider countertop opening in the AZ-GD series.
• Satin Stainless Steel finish coordinates with stainless appliances and brushed metal hardware.
• Stainless steel construction holds up in a busy kitchen environment.
• 3-15/16 inch liner depth accommodates the grommet liner below the countertop surface.
• 164mm flange length pairs with the 218mm width to define the seating footprint over the cut opening.

Where This Lid Fits the Job

This lid is sized for kitchen countertops where waste scraps, compost, or refuse need to pass through a surface opening into a bin below. The wider 218mm format suits a countertop cutout that requires more coverage than a compact grommet provides. The damper makes a practical difference at a heavily used prep station: it slows the lid on every close, cutting the noise and impact that accumulate over a full day of kitchen work. It is also a sensible replacement part when the original lid on an existing AZ-GD installation wears out or is damaged.

Finish and Build

Stainless steel in a Satin Stainless Steel finish gives this lid a surface that sits naturally alongside stainless appliances and undermount sinks without reading as a hardware accent. The satin texture keeps fingerprints less visible than a mirror-polished surface would. The flange seats over the countertop cut and the liner depth of 3-15/16 inches positions the grommet body below the surface, so the finished installation sits flush.

Who Reaches for This Part

Kitchen designers specifying a clean, coordinated countertop waste solution in a stainless or brushed-metal kitchen will find this lid reads as intentional rather than utilitarian. Cabinet shops and contractors completing an AZ-GD series install need the correct replacement lid to match the original system. Homeowners sourcing a replacement for a damaged or worn lid on an existing installation should confirm the 218mm width and AZ-GD series compatibility before ordering, since the series includes narrower sizes that use a different lid.
