Is the drain set more to the rear, or is it directly in the center? In the picture it looks like it might be offset.

It's directly in the center. You can email me at michele@bargainocity.com, if you have any other questions.

The drain is in the center. I bought a Delta pull down faucet and set it to the right of center and it shoots right down the drain, it's wonderful.

Don't know about the latest model, but in my sink the drain is centered. Be aware: Franke sinks rust right away, like rust spots in 3 weeks.

If you are facing the back of the unit, the water drain is 4" in from the left side, and 7.5" in (i.e., towards the window) from the back side. If you install the unit per the instructions the drain is on the exterior side and will not drip on the side of the house.

The drains are in the middle (left to right) toward the back. I LOVE THIS SINK! I just use soap and water... no streaking. The low divider is great!

No, it is actually pitched a few degrees toward a drain. Have not had a problem with that though. Hope this helps.

Hi, Janette. You are right, the front feet are longer. This gives me a perfectly flat surface, because the sink itself was installed with a slight tilt so that water goes down the drain. I was never even aware of the different length of the feet until you asked, but I see now that it is quite pronounced.

Yes. It would mean the drain would be on the opposite side of the tray. We did ours on the left side.

It goes back at an angle. Its about an inch and a half behind the faucet fully extended. Theres about the same amount of space from the fully extended control to the wall. I have a standard predrilled single hole countertop. Its easy to use. Looks great installed. We've had no problems with it.

My backsplash is 3 inches from the center of my faucet spiket. Handle is on the side, straight back means cold, but you pull out to run the water. The clearance for the on portion is fine with 3 inches (not from the back of the edge of the faucet, but middle of the faucet is only 3 inches and it is plenty room. Hope this make sense....

No - that is how I installed mine. Just make sure you have enough clearance beneath the drain board.

yes you could be off center about 6 " you would just have to add some drain pipe and make adjustments

The control for the drain plug follows a mostly vertical motion as the control is extended. By almost vertical, I mean just that. It moves at a very slight angle, but I'd call it mostly vertical.

Hi Richard. if your working with 1 1/2" or 1 1/4" easy to reduce or couple together. Drain needs to lined up strait , into wall ABS. This made our unit not line up with existing. I moved drain in wall because there is no room to angle drain in the new fountain. In this situation I could not move fountain to the right or left. Witch would be a lot easier . Hope this helps

When I received the one I ordered it was not askew. Prior to installing it, I would suggest setting it on a surface where the main body is level and locking the rear access panel. Is there any gaps? If so, I would want to do an exchange. It could leak in rainy weather.

the entire bottom is not slanted toward the drain, only a half inch or so around the drain is rounded/slanted to allow drainage. With this large a sink, it would be better to have a slight slant, that's true. BTW, Franke sinks are made of junk stainless steel, probably from China. I will never buy another.

The water drains from the long side. It's a little hard to see from the picture but the rear is raised for drainage.

From what I have seen with previous reviews, you sometimes have to place something under the front wheels to till the unit back toward the drain. This is a minor inconvenience but seemed to work for others in the past.

top and bottom are both tilted for drainage, doesn't matter which way you install it. Wife and I love this niche!
