Who made your sink, what brand is it?

What kind of stainless steel does MySinksandFaucets use?
All of our stainless steel sinks are created with 304 Series Stainless Steel. 304 Series or “surgical grade” stainless steel is non-porous, hygienic, rust-free and extremely durable. This premium grade of stainless steel is considered to be the best formulation for residential sink manufacturing.

What does the gauge of the stainless steel mean?
The gauge is the thickness of the stainless steel. An easy rule of thumb is, the lower the number of the gauge, the thicker and better the stainless steel. Therefore, 18 gauge is better than 20 gauge. All of our stainless steel sinks are 16 or 18 gauge.

What is the difference between 16 gauge and 18 gauge?
The difference is the thickness of the steel.  They are both 304 grade stainless steel, but 16 gauge is a thicker steel.

All of our stainless steel sinks have what is called a silky soft satin brushed polished finish. This elegant finish creates an enduring, easy-to-clean luster that is impervious to water stains and calcium deposits. The finish is created by performing numerous hand and machine buffing operations that produce a beautiful luster. .

What kind of undercoating is applied on My Sinks and Faucets Stainless Steel sinks?
Sound deadening pads are installed on all models to eliminate unwanted sounds, such as the garbage disposal growl. All of our sinks feature a deluxe undercoating to eliminate condensation, and assist in retaining water temperature. This undercoating also provides maximum sound absorption.

Why are most My Sinks and Faucets sink drains rear-positioned?
Rear sink drains maximize the “functionality” and “usable” bowl bottom space inside the bowl as well as create extra cabinet storage areas beneath the sink, by installing drain pipes and garbage disposals to the rear or back of the kitchen cabinet.

Why is certification of your kitchen sink so important?

Your kitchen sinks needs to be certified not only for the obvious reason The Quality of the stainless steel; but also that the sink itself has been tested by an approved IAPMO testing facility. This additional testing is extreme important. You want to make sure that the sink that you are putting in your kitchen meets or exceeds the requirements set forth in ASME A112.193-2000 stainless steel plumbing fixtures.  We have submitted our entire product line for testing and we have been certified. Click here to see our certification.  You must protect your investment and your family from some of the cheap imports that are available. There have been many cases of sinks rusting and failing to the extent that there is a major push by county building inspectors to not sign off on plumbing inspections for sinks that can not prove this valuable certification. You can be assured that My Sinks and Faucets will only sell a super high quality product.

This certification is even more important now than ever. As you know the price of Stainless Steel has risen drastically over the past year. There was a large push in the sink industry by smaller companies to increase profits by utilizing a steel called 202 this is not stainless and will rust We will never take short cuts on quality but beware of our competition that might. If they have not been tested by an independent facility stay away no matter what they say or the price they offer.
