"What is the difference between an 'under counter' kitchen sink and a 'self rimming' sink?"
An "under counter" sink is just that - it mounts from the bottom of the counter. A self-rimming sink has overall dimensions
larger than the opening in the counter and sits on top of the countertop. It requires no
additional rim around the outside of the sink, and generally will give you a lot less problems down the road. Why?
Because it cannot fall down and gravity over time will not open the seal between the counter and the sink with
a self rimming sink. Undercounter mounts can be used with solid surface or granite, marble counter tops.
If you're using Formica type counters use the self-rimming. For tile we like to recommend self rimming.
Under counter sinks, over time can have problems where the sink and counter meet.
"Please explain the best gauge of stainless, which is longer lasting, i.e. luster, mirror finish, etc?"
The lower the number, the thicker the material. In our opinion, 22 gauge is bare minimum - builder quality.
During the manufacturing process, stainless steel sinks are "stamped" into shape. That means that the material stretches
and therefore the corners can be very thin. We suggest at least 20 gauge and preferably 18 gauge. Stainless can scratch and with a mirror finish those scratches will show.
We recommend that you do not purchase any brand mirror finished stainless sink (no matter what the price or claimed quality).
"Do you stock every sink from Revere that you list?"
We have listed over 95% of all sinks that Revere makes (on this and the other Revere sink pages).
No one could possibly stock them all but with us, most are in stock. When you place an order for your quality Revere stainless steel sink/s we will let you know within 24 hours (Mon-Fri)
whether that sink is in stock (chances are over 95% that the Revere sink that you order will be in stock).
"What do the different types of stainless steel (304, 316, etc) mean?"
The term "stainless steel" refers to specific grades of steel that contain more than 10% chromium. Stainless steel may also include a variety of other elements (such as nickel, titanium, molybdenum, etc); it resists corrosion and is generally a stronger, more reliable steel. The most common grades of stainless steel are:
Type 304: Aside from having a higher content of chromium than most other types of stainless steel, type 304 also contains nickel; this enables it to withstand most ordinary corrosion in architecture, is durable in typical food processing environments, and resists most chemicals.
Type 316: Similar to type 304, but also contains a small amount of molybdenum, which is an alloy element #304 does not contain (but one that provides even stronger resistance to some deterioration). Types 304 and 316 are grades of stainless steel that are most often used in plumbing, as well as in the manufacturing of kitchen utensils and sinks.
Type 409: Does not contain virtually any nickel at all, but also is the stainless steel that contains the least amount of chromium. Type 409 is more suitable for high temperature applications, which is why it's often used in automotive trim and exhaust systems, or hot water tanks.
Type 410: Also does not contain any significant nickel; its primary difference to type 409 stainless is characterized by the use of heat treatment for hardening and strengthening. Type 410 is not appropriate for severely corrosive applications, but used instead in environments that require high strength; this is why it's the type of stainless steel that's often used in surgical equipment.
Type 430: Another plain-chromium stainless steel, similar to type 409, but is usually used in decorative applications.
"I'd like to have 2 extra holes for an air gap and hot water dispenser and was wondering
if you can drill extra holes in my sink for me?"
Yes, we can do that. Just enter the number of additional (EXTRA) holes that you would like here = $50.00 .
Please note that we do not take back sinks where we have drilled holes and also that we do not
guarantee that we will drill the hole in the sink in any particular place. We will drill it where we believe it would be most appropriate and cannot promise to drill it in any exact/specific place on the sink.With Revere brand, please allow up to 4 additional weeks if you order additional holes in your sink. Once you place the order for a modified sink it is
your sink (we will charge your credit card and the order is non cancelable).
