Bowl-Floor Protection Built Specifically for the E-320 and U-2418
The Karran GR-3005 is a stainless steel bottom grid made to fit the E-320 and U-2418 sink models, sitting on the bowl floor to lift dishes and cookware off the surface while water drains freely beneath.
Key Features
• Exact-fit design matches the E-320 and U-2418 bowl dimensions so the grid sits flush without shifting.
• Stainless steel construction holds up to everyday dish and cookware loads without rust or corrosion concerns in a wet environment.
• Elevated grid floor keeps the bowl surface clear of direct contact, reducing scratches and abrasion from cookware bottoms.
• Open wire pattern lets water pass through and drain away rather than pool under dishes.
• Low-profile form keeps the working depth of the bowl usable while the grid is in place.
What the Grid Does in Daily Use
Every time a cast iron skillet, ceramic baking dish, or pot lands in the sink, it contacts the grid rather than the bowl surface. That separation is the grid's job: it absorbs the impact and keeps metal-on-bowl contact from marking the finish over time. Water drains through the open pattern so nothing pools. For the E-320 Edge series and the U-2418, a properly fitted grid also means the bowl stays easier to wipe down — no food debris trapped in gaps between an ill-fitting rack and the bowl wall.
Material and Construction
The GR-3005 is stainless steel throughout, which suits the wet, high-contact environment of a kitchen sink. Stainless resists the moisture and mild detergents that cycle through a working sink daily. The wire grid form is rigid enough to support cookware without flexing under load, and the open structure means there are no hidden surfaces where residue can collect unnoticed. Rinsing the grid takes seconds.
Who This Is For
Cabinet shops and kitchen installers who stock Karran stainless sinks will find this grid a natural add-on for clients finishing an E-320 or U-2418 installation. Homeowners who use their sink heavily — washing sheet pans, cast iron, or large stockpots — will appreciate having a grid that actually fits rather than one that slides around or leaves gaps at the bowl wall. Designers specifying a Karran stainless sink as part of a kitchen package can include the GR-3005 to complete the setup from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this grid fit any other Karran sink models besides the E-320 and U-2418?
The GR-3005 is published for the E-320 and U-2418 specifically. Karran grids are sized per model, and fit should not be assumed for other sinks even within the same series — check the fits table for any other model you have.
Will the grid interfere with the drain or strainer when it is in place?
Bottom grids are designed to sit around the drain opening rather than over it, so the drain and any installed strainer remain accessible. The exact clearance is sized for these two models.
Is a strainer or drain included with the grid?
No. The GR-3005 is the grid only. Strainers and drain hardware are sold separately and should be confirmed for your specific sink configuration.
How do I clean the grid?
Lift the grid out and rinse it. The open wire construction means debris does not trap the way it can on a solid surface. For stubborn buildup, a non-abrasive sponge with dish soap handles most residue.
The Right Fit Protects the Investment
A sink grid that fits correctly from day one keeps the bowl surface looking the way it did at install — and for a stainless sink that handles heavy daily use, that matters for the long run.
