The Nantucket Sinks NS03i-16 is a 23.625" Sconset D-bowl undermount kitchen sink with a single 21.25" x 19" bowl, 9" deep, which Nantucket describes as an everyday single bowl kitchen sink. Its curved front and straight back fit a 24" cabinet base and tight layouts such as corner runs, islands and small kitchens, without shrinking the basin. A BG2421 bottom grid and the NS35CD colander drain are included.
The D-bowl shape has a straight back and a rounded front: Nantucket notes it fits smaller spaces and tighter layouts while still being big enough to get the job done. The bowl the 3.5" drain sits at the rear, leaving the center of the floor clear for pans. A BG2421 bottom grid and the NS35CD colander drain are included with the sink.
It is crafted from 16-gauge 304 stainless steel in a lustrous satin finish, with thick rubber dampening pads to dampen sound and a sprayed insulation to reduce condensation. Nantucket's finishing process helps keep the steel corrosion resistant to rust and oxidation, and the satin finish makes daily maintenance a simple rinse.
Fitting the NS03i-16 in Your Kitchen
Sizing is straightforward. The NS03i-16 measures 23.625" x 21.125" x 9" overall. As an undermount sink it is installed beneath a solid surface countertop such as granite or quartz, and the fabricator can finish the edge flush with the bowl or with the 1/4" overhang Nantucket recommends. There are no faucet holes in the sink, so the faucet is planned separately, either through the countertop or on the wall. Nantucket's installation guide calls for professional installation. The Undermount installation guide in Resources covers the cutout and mounting.
The Sconset Collection
The NS03i-16 belongs to the Sconset Collection. Nantucket offers matching accessories, and the optional pieces listed for the NS03i-16 are the NS35LCC flip-top crumb cup drain.
Caring for the Stainless Steel
Nantucket's care guide for its stainless sinks favors light, frequent cleaning over an occasional heavy scrub: wipe with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner in the direction of the grain, towel dry after use to keep the steel shiny and free of water spots, and lift mineral deposits with vinegar and water. For tougher stains it suggests a mild abrasive such as Bar Keepers Friend, and it asks you to avoid steel wool and bleach, to wipe up salt, vinegar, citrus and other acidic foods promptly, and not to leave steel or cast iron cookware, wet sponges or soap bars sitting in the sink.
In short, the Nantucket Sinks NS03i-16 is a 23.625" stainless steel undermount kitchen sink that fits a D-shaped bowl into a compact kitchen.
Features
D-Shaped 21.25" x 19" Bowl
The rounded-front D shape gives 19" front to back inside a 23.625" wide sink, a shape Nantucket says fits smaller spaces and tighter layouts.
BG2421 Grid Included
The included BG2421 bottom grid, 19" x 15.75" x 1", protects the bowl floor from scratches and lets water run beneath your dishes to the drain.
16-Gauge 304 Stainless
The sink is 16-gauge 304 stainless steel in a lustrous satin finish, durable stainless steel that Nantucket says is meant to go the distance.
Rubber Sound Pads
Thick rubber dampening pads on the underside quiet the drumming of running water and clattering dishes, which you notice most in an open-plan kitchen.
Insulated Underside
Nantucket sprays the underside with a special insulation to reduce condensation, so less moisture collects on the cabinet floor and on items stored below.
Easy-Care Brushed Satin
Nantucket says the satin finish makes daily maintenance a simple rinse; the even grain gives a low-glare look, and a towel dry keeps water spots off.

Installation & Care
Installation
This is an undermount sink: it hangs beneath a solid surface countertop such as granite or quartz, which Nantucket specifies for its undermount stainless sinks, and it fits a 24" minimum sink base cabinet. Nantucket's installation guide calls for professional installation; give the countertop fabricator the installation guide and follow local building and plumbing codes. The guide has the fabricator mark the cutout from a template, cut on the inside of the line, and finish the counter flush with the bowl or overhanging it by 1/8" to 1/4"; Nantucket recommends a 1/4" overhang, which gives a clean edge and hides the silicone. Clips are spaced evenly around the sink, set loosely, adjusted, then tightened. Silicone sealant is not included. There are no faucet holes, so the faucet mounts on the countertop, and the sink needs a standard 3.5" drain at the rear. The Undermount installation guide is in Resources.
Care
Clean the sink often rather than saving it for a heavy scrub: a soft non-abrasive cloth and a mild cleaner, wiped with the direction of the grain, then a towel dry after use to keep it shiny and free of water spots. For tougher stains use a mild abrasive such as Bar Keepers Friend, and remove mineral deposits with vinegar and water. Never use steel wool or bleach, do not leave cleaners in the bowl overnight or wet sponges and soap bars on the steel, wipe up salt, vinegar, citrus and other acidic foods promptly, and do not leave steel or cast iron cookware sitting in the sink.
