A 33-Inch Top Mount Double Bowl For Wash-and-Rinse Kitchens
The Karran PT35-PK1 is an 18-gauge stainless steel drop-in kitchen sink in a double equal bowl configuration, sized at 33 by 22 by 7-1/2 inches and ready to install in any laminate, stone, or solid surface countertop that accepts a top mount sink. It ships as a complete kit that includes basket strainers, bottom grids, and Luster Pro oil so you have what you need to finish the install.
Key Features
• 18-gauge stainless steel construction gives the bowls solid, quiet-use rigidity at a practical price point.
• Double equal bowl layout divides the sink evenly for simultaneous wash-and-rinse or prep-and-clean workflows.
• Top mount drop-in installation seats the sink's perimeter rim into the countertop cutout, making it a direct fit for laminate and retrofit installs.
• Kit includes basket strainers and bottom grids matched to the PT35 bowls, plus Luster Pro oil for initial care.
• 7-1/2-inch bowl depth handles tall pots and full sheet pans without lifting water over a shallow rim.
Where This Sink Earns Its Place
A 33-inch double equal bowl is the workhorse configuration for full-size kitchens where two people cook at the same time or where hand-washing and rinsing happen in sequence. One bowl holds soapy wash water while the other rinses, or one side handles raw prep while the other stays clean for plating. The top mount installation drops straight into an existing or new countertop cutout without the under-counter preparation that an undermount requires, which makes the PT35 a practical choice for laminate countertops, kitchen renovations where the stone is already cut, and cabinet shop display kitchens that see heavy demonstration use.
The 33 by 22 inch footprint fits a standard 36-inch sink base cabinet, leaving room in the cabinet run for a dishwasher or trash pullout beside it. Faucet holes are not pre-drilled in the sink deck, so hole placement is chosen at the countertop stage rather than fixed by the sink.
Stainless Construction and What the Kit Covers
Karran's Profile Series PT35 is built in 18-gauge stainless steel with a brushed satin finish that keeps routine watermarks and minor surface contact from showing. Both bowls are sized equally, so the grids included in this -PK1 kit are matched pairs — no guessing which grid goes to which side. The basket strainers drop into the standard 3-1/2-inch drain openings. Luster Pro oil, also in the kit, is Karran's recommended product for maintaining the stainless finish after installation. The drain assembly and faucet are not included and are purchased separately to match your plumbing rough-in and finish preference.
Who Orders This Sink
Cabinet shops building laminate kitchen displays or contractor showrooms reach for the PT35-PK1 because the top mount install works on every countertop material and the kit format means the grids and strainers arrive with the sink rather than as a separate order. Contractors doing full kitchen renovations on laminate countertops specify it for the same reason: no countertop modification beyond the cutout, and a complete accessory set in the box. Homeowners refreshing a kitchen without replacing the stone or laminate can drop this sink into the existing opening if the cutout dimensions align. The Profile Series positions itself as the mid-range workhorse in Karran's stainless lineup, where 18-gauge construction and a brushed finish deliver the look and durability the job needs without overbuilding for a standard kitchen install.
Does this sink require any countertop modification beyond the cutout?
No. The top mount rim rests in the cutout and clamps from below with sink clips. The cut edge of the countertop is covered by the rim, which is why this installation works well on laminate where leaving a finished stone or wood edge is not required.
What is the difference between this Profile top mount and a Karran undermount or Edge Series sink?
The PT35 is a conventional top mount: the rim sits on top of the counter. Karran's QU Series quartz sinks and stainless U Series undermine the counter surface with no visible rim. The Edge Series uses a seamless rim method specific to laminate and solid surface countertops. The top mount install here is compatible with a wider range of countertop materials and existing cutouts.
Are a faucet and drain assembly included in this kit?
No. The -PK1 kit includes basket strainers, bottom grids matched to both bowls, and Luster Pro oil. The faucet and drain assembly are sold separately. The sink has no pre-drilled faucet holes, so hole placement is determined at the countertop.
What cabinet size does this sink require?
The PT35 has a 33-inch overall width and fits a standard 36-inch sink base cabinet. Confirm the cabinet width and verify the cutout dimensions against the actual sink before cutting.
Ready to Work the Moment It Drops In
The PT35-PK1 ships with the accessories a finished install needs on day one — grids, strainers, and care oil included — so the sink goes from the box to the counter without a separate parts run.
