I want to purchase this sink. However, I plan to install the tap on the sink directly instead of installing it on the granite top. Is this possible? T

The sink is designed to be mounted under the countertop. There are no holes cut in the sink to accommodate a faucet. Given the heavy gauge I would say drilling holes is not an option.I would contact Kraus or the distributor for a recommendation. We are VERY HAPPY with this sink. It is pure quality throughout.

No, the sink is completely covered by granite except the bowls. You would need a "drop in" style if you want to install a tap on the sink itself.

You need to separately purchase and countertop, sink, and faucet you might want on there. I pieced together a glass vessel and black granite and liked the outcome very much.

We installed this sink (or our contractor did) by cutting out an old undermount sink from the existing base and removing the false drawer panel in the front. It also solved the problem of what to do at the back of the sink where the faucet had been installed in cutouts in the granite. The sink fit all the way back to the backsplash and covered the old faucet holes. If I could figure out how to do it, I would send you a picture of the finished product, but I can't attach it to this message.

I can't answer this, because I am the female homeowner who ordered it, and the cabinet/countertop guy installed it! We actually chose formica countertops that looked so much like granite, because we had so many, we didn't want to spend the money for granite, so he just gut a hole in the countertop, dropped the sink in, and the brackets, I know are used to tighten and secure the sink. I've seen my husband install sinks before, so I know that much. This sink sits on top of the countertop - drop in; it's not an undermount. I love it, because of it's depth, and I like having just one big sink, instead of a divided, since I have a dishwasher. We have a disposal attached, as well. Wanted a farmhouse sink, but way too expensive! This is a fantastic buy for the money! Sorry; gave you more info than you asked for!

We have the satin stainless which matches our brushed stainless steel sink and love it! The only thing I am not happy about. the way our plumber installed it, and said it could only be installed this way in our house, is the the soap dispenser just clears the edge of the sink - if I had known before hand I would have had only the faucet installed. Enjoy the faucet, we love it, and would very much think you would enjoy it!

We installed it to newly installed granite tops. Plumbers remarked about the weight so there several plumbers and the stone mason to help insure it was installed correctly.No issues but careful planning.

I ordered with but used faucets that I purchased elsewhere. Installation of other faucets was not an issue. The vanity looks great. Only slight issue is that marble top is very porous so be careful not to spill anything on it as it will stain.

IO loved the sink..but I ordered it by mistake and had to send it back. ..I have a laminate counter top and can not use the undermoun sink. Wish I could help.

Yes, it looks great on a granite counter top. The sink interior pattern is subtle, the exterior is a uniform dark copper color. It may look best with warm colors of granite, but pattern is not a problem.

Mine is under mounted with granite counter tops. It is fantastic !! I think you can have it either under the counter or over, pretty sure it can be done both ways. It's a big sink and I can't tell you how many people make comments on it . Just get it, you don't regret it.I tried to attach a photo but can't for some reason.I'll send you the photo if you send me your email.

Tap is permanently installed in the keg. You just pull it out to pour. So no, you do not tap this the same tap/pump as a regular sized keg as there is no need to do so. There is no need for a pump as it is gravity draining.

I had it installed by the granite installers and they had to purchase a kit to install it. Not sure if that was because of the granite or lack of hardware. I had 3 cm granite installed. Ps I love the sink!

I just bought this sink and my husband installed it. And, no nothing special needed. However the disposal is heavy and awkward to get it installed. We finally ended up using a small jack to balance disposal while making sure it was secure. Good luck!

We used granite ower the sink so we had to drill only one hole without the base plate. I hope this will help you.

Looks like plenty of others have answered your question, but here's one more confirmation. We, too, installed this as a drop in sink. My husband did the installation and didn't run into any problems.

I bought this sink and itbis installed with small side of sink in th right....you can.turn.it. th inky advice i have is to be sre to make th hole where your water fixture goes in th center. Without thinking i put it centered on th big part of th sink and it cant reach th small part...my granite guy didnt offer up this thought. It works though because i have fixture with pull out to reach th small side....which is where i have my disposal! Good sink for th cost....it does get scratches....this is typical for this gauge of sink/stainless.

Yes, that's how mine is. Just need to drill hole in countertop. Granite installers did it and just used a lot of silicone to adhere to counter top.
