The Nantucket Sinks Yarmouth-36W is a large, almost 36" Italian fireclay farmhouse sink in polished white with a stylized decorative apron. The drain is centered so the sink is reversible: you choose whether a 1.5" or a 2" decorative lip shows on the apron. It is for a spacious kitchen that wants a generous single bowl with a touch of detail on the front.
The basin measures 33.5" x 17" at the top and is 9.25" deep, inside an exterior of 35.625" x 20" x 10" at the top that narrows to 35" x 17" at the bottom. The 3.5" drain opening is compatible with garbage disposals.
It is built from solid, heavy duty fireclay and crafted in the artisanal traditions of Italy. Nantucket says the glazed surface inhibits fireclay needs fewer cleansers. Firing makes the dimensions nominal, varying by about 1/4", and small cosmetic cracks on the underside from curing do not affect performance.
Among the Cape Collection's decorative aprons, the Yarmouth-36W is the largest, beside the 32.75" Harwich-33, the 30.25" Garland and the 29.5" Waquoit (WH3018FCL).
Planning the Cabinet and Plumbing
Planning the cabinet comes first with any fireclay farmhouse sink. This one needs a custom apron base required, and because it weighs 80 lbs, the cabinet is fitted with an internal support frame to carry it. It has no faucet holes, so the faucet goes on the countertop or the wall. The drain opening is center-set, and the drain is ordered separately; because of the thick fireclay bottom, an extended flange or extension ferrule is required for the drain. Measure the actual sink before the cabinet is built, so the opening fits the piece you receive. The accessories Nantucket lists for it, all sold separately, are the 3.5EDF-BRS extended drain flange in brushed stainless, the 3.5EDF-ORB extended drain flange in oil rubbed bronze, the NS35L-EXT basket strainer drain for fireclay sinks.
Living With Fireclay
Living with fireclay is simple. The glazed surface lets food stains wipe away, contains no metal so it will not rust, and needs only a mild cleaner and a soft cloth day to day; Nantucket suggests baking soda for stuck-on food, Soft Scrub or a Scotch-Brite sponge for a rare surface mark, and an occasional coat of carnauba wax to help water run off. Nantucket's fireclay care guide calls the material easy and low maintenance, and in hard water areas a quick dry with a cloth prevents spotting.
For a kitchen built around a statement apron front sink, the Nantucket Sinks Yarmouth-36W pairs a 35.625" decorative apron Italian fireclay farmhouse design with the easy care of glazed fireclay, a farmhouse kitchen sink meant to be used hard every day and still look like the centerpiece of the room.
Features
Choose a 1.5" or 2" Lip
The apron has two styles of decorative ridge; with the drain centered, the sink can be turned so either the 1.5" or the 2" lip faces the room.
Near-36" Single Basin
The 33.5" x 17" bowl is 9.25" deep, a generous single basin for big cookware and serious cleanups.
Disposal Compatible
The standard 3.5" opening works with garbage disposals; the thick bottom calls for an extended flange or extension ferrule on the drain.
Solid, Heavy Duty Fireclay
The sink is solid, heavy duty fireclay in polished white, crafted in Italy, so it stands up to daily use in a busy kitchen.
Smooth Polished Glaze
The smooth, polished white glaze wipes clean with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, and fireclay contains no metal, so it will not rust.
Fitted Grid Available
Nantucket lists a compatible BG-YM36 bottom grid, sold separately, to protect the large basin floor from pots and pans.

Sold separately: a 3.5" drain (not included), BG-YM36 stainless bottom grid, 3.5EDF-BRS extended drain flange in brushed stainless, 3.5EDF-ORB extended drain flange in oil rubbed bronze, NS35L-EXT basket strainer drain for fireclay sinks.
Installation & Care
Installation
This undermount farmhouse sink needs a custom or apron-front base cabinet (a custom apron cabinet is required), with a 2x4 support frame or cradle inside that holds it level and flush with the cabinet top; Nantucket's apron guide calls for a frame strong enough for up to 300 lbs, and the sink alone weighs 80 lbs. No template is included: the cabinet opening and countertop cutout are measured from the actual sink, set flush or with a 1/4" overhang, because fired fireclay dimensions are nominal. There are no faucet holes, so the faucet mounts on the counter or wall. It has a 3.5" drain opening at the center of the bowl, compatible with garbage disposals; the thick fireclay bottom requires an extended flange or ferrule on the drain. Professional installation is required. The Apron installation guide is in Resources.
Care
Clean the fireclay regularly with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge, then rinse; in hard water areas, dry it with a cloth to prevent spotting. Soak stuck-on food to loosen it, using baking soda if needed, and lift a rare surface stain with Soft Scrub or a Scotch-Brite sponge. An occasional coat of carnauba wax adds protection and helps water run off. Fireclay contains no metal, so it will not rust. Fireclay is stain resistant and low maintenance, and the drain should never be over-tightened.
