Knape and Vogt SF Series Stainless Steel 29-5/8"L x 3"D x 3"H x Sink Tip Out Tray, With Tab Stop - SF28W
Description
Knape And Vogt SF Series Sink Tip Out Tray Use
Knape and Vogt SF Series sink tip out tray delivers a 29-5/8 inch long front storage space at the sink, turning the false front into a practical area that keeps small items within reach while staying out of the working basin. The stainless steel construction creates a rigid tray body that stands up to typical kitchen and bath cabinet environments, which supports long-term use around moisture and daily handling. A 3 inch height and 3 inch depth form a deep pocket that holds items securely when the front is tipped open and shut, which helps reduce items falling out during normal operation. The SF28W part number identifies this specific length and depth in the SF Series line, which simplifies repeat ordering or matching across multiple similar sink runs. Being part of a dedicated sink tip out tray product class also means its geometry is optimized for that false-front application rather than general shelving.
Key SF28W Tray Details For Cabinet Work
- The 29-5/8 inch length spans wider sink openings, which helps utilize more of the available false-front width on standard kitchen or bath cabinets for organized storage space.
- The 3 inch depth provides a deeper cavity than standard 2 inch trays, which allows more vertical room for taller items without interfering with normal tipping motion.
- The 3 inch height walls contain contents when the tray is opened and closed, which supports consistent use without contents rolling over the edge during movement.
- Stainless steel material forms a sturdy, corrosion-resistant tray body, which suits use near sinks where water, cleaners, and daily splashes are common.
- Tab stops on this deep depth version control the tipping range, which helps create a repeatable open position that aligns with hinges and supports comfortable access.
Installation Fit For Face Frame And Frameless Cabinets
The SF Series value line of steel sink tip-out trays is designed for use with face frame or frameless cabinetry, so the SF28W can be integrated into different construction styles across a project. A 29-5/8 inch long tray body gives installers a clear target when laying out hinge locations across wider sink fronts, which helps position hardware so the tray opens evenly along its full span. The 3 inch deep design with tab stops is engineered to work as a deep depth version, so the stop points help protect against over-rotation that could stress hinges or contact interior obstructions. Because the tray sits behind a false front in either cabinet style, its 3 inch height coordinates with typical rail sizes, which supports a clean front reveal once the assembly is closed.
Using SF28W Sink Tip Out Tray In Real Projects
Where This SF28W Tray Fits Best In Cabinets
The SF28W sink tip out tray is part of the Knape and Vogt SF Series value line of steel sink tip-out trays, which targets the common false-front space at kitchen and bath sinks. Its 29-5/8 inch length makes it suited to wider sink base cabinets where a long, continuous tray can run behind the entire false panel, which allows installers to convert unused space into a single organized compartment. Because the SF Series is specified for use with face frame or frameless cabinetry, the same SF28W model can serve across mixed cabinet constructions in a job, which reduces part variation during planning and installation. The deep depth 3 inch design with tab stops is intended for situations where extra holding capacity is preferred over the standard 2 inch depth, which is useful when the cabinet design supports that additional interior projection.
Details That Support Consistent Sink Front Operation
The designation of the SF28W as a deep depth 3 inch tray with tab stops means the opening arc of the tray is controlled, which supports consistent user feel and reduces the chance of tipping past a comfortable angle. Stainless steel construction adds strength to the 29-5/8 inch span, which helps the tray resist flexing during repeated opening cycles across the full length of a wide sink front. The 3 inch height and 3 inch depth work together to create a defined pocket that keeps stored items below the front rail line, which supports a cleaner closure and helps the false front sit properly against the cabinet frame. Because this model belongs to a series that also offers standard depth 2 inch trays and lengths from 10 to 32-5/8 inches, SF28W can be selected when a deep depth, 29-5/8 inch option is needed to coordinate with other SF Series sizes on the same project.
