The Nantucket Sinks DI-2418-R8 is a 23" white vitreous china self-rimming drop-in bathroom sink: a classic, clean rectangle with 3 pre-cut faucet holes on 8" centers for a widespread faucet, a self-rimming design for effortless drop-in installation.
The basin measures 17" x 11" and is 5.25" deep within a 23" x 18.25" x 8.75" sink, and its glazed rim rests on the countertop, which makes it a straightforward choice for a vanity remodel. It has an overflow and a 1.75" drain opening. Nantucket lists a 27" minimum base cabinet. A cutout template is provided; Nantucket lists it as cUPC certified and to ASME A112.19.2, and ADA compliant when installed to ADA guidelines.
Vitreous china is a dense, fired ceramic, and Nantucket seals it with a porcelain enamel glaze for a high gloss finish that makes the surface easy to clean and maintain; it is durable and practical for everyday use. Dimensions are nominal, so the countertop opening is marked from the actual sink.
It belongs to Nantucket's Great Point Collection of vitreous china bathroom sinks, named for the Great Point lighthouse on Nantucket, which spans undermount, glazed-bottom and drop-in basins in white and, for several undermount sizes, bisque, so a matching bowl can be found for a powder room or a full vanity.
Planning the Vanity
When planning the vanity, allow a base cabinet of at least 27". The sink has pre-cut faucet holes (3, 8" centers), so choose a faucet to match that layout, and its drain opening takes a standard 1.75" vanity drain with overflow, sold separately. Professional installation is recommended, and silicone sealant is not included.
A self-rimming drop-in sink rests its rim on the counter, which covers the cut edge of the opening; Nantucket's drop-in guide has the opening cut along the inside of the line traced from the template or the sink itself.
Caring for Vitreous China
Vitreous china is the classic bathroom-sink material for good reason: the porcelain enamel glaze is easy to clean and maintain. Rinse and wipe it dry after use, use a soft abrasive cleaner only when needed (strong abrasives can dull the glaze), and keep open acids, bleach and drain cleaners out of the vanity. It is not designed to take heavy objects dropped from height, so set heavier items down gently.
For a bathroom remodel, a powder room or a vanity replacement, the Nantucket Sinks DI-2418-R8 is a 23" rectangular vitreous china drop-in bathroom sink that keeps daily cleaning simple and fits a standard plumbing setup.
Features
3 Holes on 8" Centers
Three pre-cut 1.375" holes on 8" centers take a widespread two-handle faucet, a more traditional look across the 23" deck.
5.25" Deep Bowl
Inside, the bowl is 17" x 11" and 5.25" deep, and the sink fits a 27" minimum vanity base cabinet.
Easy Drop-In Install
The self-rimming rim rests on the countertop and covers the cut edge, so the sink drops into a simple cutout, which Nantucket says allows for easy installation.
Glazed Vitreous China
Vitreous china sealed with a porcelain enamel glaze gives a high gloss surface that Nantucket says is easy to clean and maintain, so daily wipe-downs stay quick.
Standard 1.75" Drain
The 1.75" drain opening takes a standard 1.75" vanity drain with overflow, sold separately; the drain is not included with the sink.
Built-In Overflow
The bowl has an overflow, so it pairs with a 1.75" vanity drain with overflow, sold separately.

Installation & Care
Installation
This self-rimming sink drops into a cutout in the vanity top, with its rim resting on the counter, and fits a 27" minimum base cabinet. A cutout template is provided; following Nantucket's drop-in guide, trace the template or the underside of the sink, cut along the inside of the line, test fit, then seal the rim and let it cure. Its faucet holes are pre-cut (3, 8" centers), so fit the faucet to the sink before it goes in. The 1.75" drain opening takes a standard 1.75" vanity drain with overflow, sold separately. Professional installation is recommended, and silicone sealant is not included. The Drop-In installation guide is in Resources.
Care
Rinse the sink and wipe it dry with a soft cloth after use. A soft abrasive cleaner is fine when needed, but strong abrasives can scratch and dull the glaze; Nantucket suggests cleaners such as Soft Scrub, Lysol or Clorox bathroom cleaners, and Bar Keepers Friend or Bon Ami for a rare rust mark or heavy stain. Do not store open containers of acids, bleach, lye or drain cleaner under the sink, and avoid dropping heavy objects into the bowl, which can crack vitreous china.
