How to fit 1.5 kitchen sink into 500 base unit (2023 Update)

Hey there,

Finding a sink that fits your specific requirements can be a bit tricky, but it's definitely not impossible. The first thing you'll want to do is to take a look at the dimensions of your dishwasher carcass and compare it to the dimensions of the sink you're looking at. Make sure that the sink will fit over the dishwasher and that the drain lines are in the right place.

Next, you'll want to make sure that the sink you choose is designed to fit into a 500 base unit. Not all sinks are designed to fit into standard base unit sizes, so it's important to check that the sink you choose will work with your existing cabinetry.

Here are a few steps to further troubleshoot the issue:

Measure the dimensions of the dishwasher carcass and compare it to the dimensions of the sink you're looking at.
Check the sink you're interested in is designed to fit into a 500 base unit
Research the compatibility of the sink with the dishwasher, check the installation guides and user manuals
If you're handy with tools and are comfortable tackling a home improvement project, then installing a new sink yourself can be a great way to save some money.

Here's a list of tools you'll need:

Adjustable wrench

Pipe cutter

Putty knife

Plumber's tape

Silicone sealant

However, keep in mind that kitchen plumbing can be tricky and it's always good to have a professional take a look if you're unsure. If you're not comfortable working on your own, it's best to call in a professional.
