Understanding 3-Inch Drain Specifics
When selecting plumbing accessories, sizing precision is everything. Standard kitchen sinks typically feature a 3.5-inch opening, but utility sinks often utilize a more compact 3-inch configuration.

This drain is specifically engineered to match 3-inch openings and compatible models like the CI-2218WNRG, ensuring a snug, leak-resistant fit that standard alternatives cannot provide.
