The Dex™ Series uses a combination of durable materials and modern product design to help you keep your kitchen cleaner. The only sink of its kind, Dex is designed with a unique DrainAssure™ waterway to ensure that water drains quickly, even when the sink is full of dishes. The contemporary design features rounded corners for a fresh look that brings modern style to any kitchen. Engineered for superior durability, Dex sinks are made with high-performance TRU16-Gauge stainless steel to stand up to everyday needs. Wear-resistant Radiant Pearl finish with circular brushing masks scratches and scuffs that can occur over time for a long-lasting lustrous sheen. The ultra-smooth stain-resistant surface is easy to clean and maintain. Designed to maximize usable workspace, Dex sinks give you even more room for washing dishes and produce. Sweeping rounded corners and a gently sloped sink bottom allow for complete drainage and help prevent messy build-up for easy cleaning. Super-silencer NoiseDefend™ pads with an innovative foil layer cover all sides of the sink, reducing the tinny sound of running water while the sink is in use. Undermount installation creates a seamless transition from countertop to sink for easy cleaning, helping keep debris from getting stuck when you’re wiping down the counters. The sink comes with a VersiDrain™ drain assembly that traps food debris and conceals drain fittings. A cutout template and mounting hardware are included for hassle-free installation.
