Elkay Sink Accessories: Cutting Board

This may sound trivial to some, but Elkay was able to devise cutting boards that innovatively fit on the mount of the sinks in order to save an incredible amount of space in the kitchen. The cutting boards work well on a normal table too. There are smaller boards that won't rest on sinks completely, but Elkay added a nice design element that makes cutting boards more useful on top of sinks. Almost all of their cutting boards have a slot on one of its edges, so one can easily sweep unused chopped vegetables down the drain.

Elkay Sink Accessories: Rinsing Baskets

The main function of these rinsing baskets is to allow ingredients to be washed and then to be drained with the excess water directly down the sink. Also made with stainless steel, Elkay has baskets that can sit at the bottom of the sink or those large enough to rest in the mouth like some of the cutting boards. The rinsing baskets can also come with a removable dish rack, so you can also drain some of your plates.

Elkay Sink Accessories: Bottom Grids

Bottom grids look like rinsing baskets at first glance but actually perform a very important function: they act as protection to the surface of sinks against scratches brought about by cutlery, plates, or bones. Depending on the size of the sink, one can add more than one bottom grids to fully cover the entire bowl. As always, these are made of stainless steel, and all Elkay sinks will have a bottom grid that is exactly made for it.

Elkay Sink Drain Fittings

Drain fittings can be added to your Elkay sink in order to ensure that no large mass can run through the pipes, which can eventually be the cause of clogging. Some of the drain fittings are made of brass, though in line with other Elkay accessories, most will be stainless steel.

There are also drain fitters that are deeper than the sinks they will be attached to. In this small gap, a rubber stopper is often placed to allow water to accumulate into the sink.

Soap/Lotion Dispensers By Elkay

These accessories are more common in commercial buildings than in residences. Some of Elkay's commercial sinks allow for dispensers to be attached in front or to the side. Current dispenser designs are of the plunger type, with liquid reservoir at the bottom hidden from view. Pressing down the dispenser releases the soap in the spout. This makes it easier for employees to wash their hands thoroughly before going out of the kitchen.
