How it meets the countertop
The mount type decides what we cut, and what you see every day.
The sink goes under the counter, not on it. That puts the cut edge on show, so it is polished rather than left rough, and the weight is carried from below instead of by a rim resting on top. It is the reason an undermount kitchen has no line to wipe around.

Size, depth, and the cabinet under it
The numbers off its own spec line, and what each one constrains.
Size
Figure on a base cabinet of at least 33" — the rule of thumb is bowl width plus about three inches for the cabinet sides. We measure your actual run at template rather than trusting the rule.
- 29 7⁄8"x18 1⁄16"
Depth
A shallower bowl, which means less bending to reach the bottom and less room to hide a stack of plates. On a vanity that is the right trade; in a working kitchen it is a real one.
- 8"

Questions about 18G 3018
Answered from this fixture’s own catalog attributes — nothing generic.
How does 18G 3018 mount?
Undermount — the deck stays flat and unbroken, and the bowl is clipped up underneath it. Worth knowing before you shop: the mount is a decision about the countertop as much as the sink, and a laminate top cannot take one. This one measures 29 7⁄8"x18 1⁄16" across and 8" deep, so it wants a 33" base cabinet.
How many bowls does 18G 3018 have?
A single bowl — no divider. It is the layout that has quietly taken over kitchens, for the simple reason that dishwashers made the second basin redundant and oven trays never fit in one anyway. The bowl is 29 7⁄8"x18 1⁄16" across and 8" deep, so it wants a 33" base cabinet.
What is 18G 3018 made of?
Stainless steel, at 18 gauge — the lower the number, the thicker the steel. It shrugs off heat and will not stain or chip, and it does scratch: every stainless sink picks up a fine haze in its first year. That evens out into a patina rather than damage, and it is exactly why the finish is brushed instead of mirrored. On a bowl this wide the gauge is doing real work — there is a lot of unsupported span under your hands, and it is the difference between a sink that feels solid and one that gives.
