A Workhorse Stainless Undermount Configured for Two-Station Kitchen Workflows
The Karran Profile Series PU23R-PK1 is an 18-gauge stainless steel undermount kitchen sink in a large/small bowl configuration, sold as a complete kit with basket strainers, bottom grids, and Luster Pro oil included. Designed to mount beneath a stone, quartz, or solid surface countertop, it gives kitchens a clean wipe-over surface while pairing a generous wash bowl with a compact prep or disposal bowl in the same footprint.
Key Features
• Large/small bowl layout places a primary wash bowl and a smaller prep or disposal bowl side by side in a single undermount footprint.
• Right-oriented small bowl positions the prep bowl on the right, matched to a typical kitchen run with the dishwasher to the left.
• 18-gauge stainless steel construction delivers solid, dent-resistant walls with a brushed satin finish that hides water spots between cleanings.
• Kit includes basket strainers, bottom grids, and Luster Pro oil so the sink is ready to install and protect from day one without sourcing accessories separately.
• Undermount mounting keeps the counter edge exposed for easy wiping, with no rim to trap crumbs or moisture against the countertop.
• 8-1/2 inch bowl depth provides useful capacity for large pots and sheet pans in the primary bowl.
Two Bowls, One Install: Where the Configuration Pays Off
A large/small bowl sink earns its keep in kitchens that handle real cooking volume. The large bowl takes on soaking, pot washing, and anything oversized. The smaller bowl beside it is the right place for a disposal, a colander drop, or keeping a cutting board rinsed without moving anything from the main basin. The right-side orientation of the small bowl suits the most common cabinetry layout, where the dishwasher sits to the left of the sink. The undermount installation keeps counter cleanup fast: food scraps and spills wipe straight into either bowl with nothing to catch them at the rim. The faucet mounts through the countertop rather than a sink deck, giving you full flexibility over placement and faucet style.
Stainless Construction Built for the Long Run
Profile Series sinks are made from 18-gauge stainless steel, which balances everyday durability with a manageable price point for remodels and new builds alike. The brushed satin surface finish is practical: it softens the appearance of fine water marks and resists fingerprints better than a mirror polish. The included bottom grids sit in each bowl to lift dishes and cookware off the steel, protecting both from scratching during the sink's daily workload. Luster Pro oil, also in the kit, conditions the stainless and helps maintain its finish over time. Installation is recommended as a professional undermount job; the faucet and any dispenser drill through the countertop above.
The Right Fit for Remodels and New Kitchen Builds
This sink suits homeowners replacing an older top-mount model who want the clean look of undermount without sacrificing bowl count, designers specifying a practical two-station layout in a mid-range renovation, and contractors who value having strainers and grids in the same shipment to keep the install on schedule. The large/small configuration works especially well in kitchens where one cook handles prep while another handles cleanup, or in any kitchen where a garbage disposal is part of the plan. Check the countertop cutout against the sink's overall dimensions and confirm minimum cabinet size before cutting.
What countertop materials work with this undermount sink?
Undermount installation is suited to stone, quartz, and solid surface countertops, where the cutout edge can be finished and the sink secured beneath. Laminate countertops are not a compatible option for this undermount Profile Series model.
Is a drain assembly included in the kit?
The kit includes basket strainers, bottom grids, and Luster Pro oil. Drain plumbing and supply connections are not included and need to be sourced separately for the installation.
Which bowl is the large one, and which is the small one?
The R designation in the model number indicates the small bowl is on the right side. The large bowl occupies the left portion of the sink, which is where most users prefer the primary wash station.
Does the faucet mount on the sink or through the countertop?
There is no faucet deck on this undermount sink. The faucet, soap dispenser, or other accessories mount through holes drilled in the countertop above the sink.
Does this sink require professional installation?
Undermount installation is recommended as a professional job. It requires securing the sink to the underside of the countertop with appropriate fasteners for the countertop material, finishing the cutout edge, and sealing the joint properly.
A Complete Kit That Keeps the Project Moving
With basket strainers, protective grids, and Luster Pro oil already in the box, the PU23R-PK1 arrives ready to go in rather than requiring a second order before the install is done — exactly the kind of detail that keeps a kitchen project on schedule.
