Stainless Steel Bottom Grid Built for the E-340 and U-3018
The Karran GR-3004 is a stainless steel bottom grid sized and shaped specifically for the Karran E-340 and U-3018 single-bowl sinks. It sits on the bowl floor to elevate dishes, protect the sink surface, and let water drain freely beneath it during everyday use.
Key Features
• Model-specific fit for the Karran E-340 and U-3018 sinks, with no cutting or bending required.
• Stainless steel construction holds up to daily dish loads while resisting the moisture and wear of an active kitchen sink.
• Open grid pattern allows water and food debris to pass through to the drain rather than pooling under dishes.
• Bowl-floor protection keeps cookware, utensils, and dishware from contacting the sink surface directly.
What This Grid Does for Your Sink Workflow
A bottom grid changes how a sink works day to day. Dishes, pots, and pans rest on the grid's surface rather than directly on the bowl, so heavy cast iron and sharp-edged cookware cannot scratch or chip the finish. Water drains to the bowl floor continuously, so there is no standing pool forming under a dish rack insert. For a single-bowl sink like the E-340 or U-3018, where the whole basin handles both washing and rinsing, that drainage keeps the work surface clear and the bowl functional through a full load of dishes or a prep session.
Material and Construction
The GR-3004 is made from stainless steel, which handles constant water exposure without corroding or staining the bowl beneath it. The grid's wire frame is rigid enough to support the weight of full cookware without flexing into the bowl floor. Because the material is non-porous and smooth, cleanup is a quick rinse rather than a scrub.
Who This Grid Is For
Homeowners who want to protect a stainless steel sink they just installed, kitchen designers specifying a complete sink package for a client, and fabricators finishing out a cabinet run will all find this grid a practical addition. If the sink in the project is a Karran E-340 or U-3018, the GR-3004 drops in and does its job without any modification. It is not a fit for other bowl sizes or sink models, so confirming the sink model before ordering is the only step needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which sinks does the GR-3004 fit?
The GR-3004 is designed for the Karran E-340 and U-3018 single-bowl sinks. It is not listed as compatible with other Karran models, so verify your sink model before ordering.
Will this grid scratch the sink?
The stainless steel construction is designed to protect the bowl surface. If your sink came with rubber feet or bumpers for the grid, use them as directed; if not, check the product for any feet or pads included.
Does this grid ship with the sink, or is it sold separately?
The GR-3004 is a separately sold accessory. It does not ship with the E-340 or U-3018 unless your sink was ordered as part of a bundle that specifically lists this grid as included.
Is the GR-3004 dishwasher safe?
The available product data does not confirm dishwasher safety. A quick hand rinse keeps a stainless grid clean without putting it at risk from dishwasher heat and detergents.
The Right Grid, the Right Sink, Every Time
A properly fitted bottom grid is one of the simplest ways to extend the life of a sink and keep it looking new through years of heavy use. The GR-3004 gives the Karran E-340 and U-3018 exactly the protection they were sized for.
