Installation Overview
Installing the AB1720UM-W requires careful attention to undermount reveal specifications to ensure proper support and aesthetic appeal. Our DXF template package includes four cutout variants: no-reveal (15.75" x 13.375"), 1/8" reveal (15.5" x 13.125"), 1/2" overhang (14.75" x 12.375"), and drop-in conversion (17" x 16.125"). The no-reveal option provides maximum sink lip contact with the stone, ideal for heavy-gauge materials. The 1/8" reveal is the industry-standard choice, offering balanced support with a subtle visual reveal. For ultra-premium installations where sink visibility is desired, the 1/2" overhang reveals more of the fireclay body. This sink requires a minimum 21-inch cabinet width and works exceptionally well with 3cm granite, quartz, and marble slabs. The corner radius of 0.25" allows for smooth router bit transitions during CNC cutting.
CNC Cutting Notes
When programming your CNC router for the AB1720UM-W cutout, use a 1/2" or 3/8" diameter bit for optimal corner accuracy given the 0.25" radius specification. Feed rates should be reduced for harder materials like granite (80-120 IPM) versus softer marble (120-180 IPM). The compact 17-inch size makes this an ideal candidate for nested cutting alongside larger sink templates to maximize material yield. Always perform a plunge test to verify stone thickness consistency before committing to full production cutting. For undermount installations, ensure cutout edges are polished to at least 180-grit to prevent moisture infiltration and provide proper adhesion surface for silicone bonding. The relatively small bowl dimensions mean minimal material removal, reducing both cutting time and stress on the stone slab.
Material Compatibility
This ALFI fireclay sink pairs beautifully with virtually all natural and engineered stone materials. On granite countertops, the white fireclay creates striking contrast with darker stones like Absolute Black or Uba Tuba, while blending harmoniously with lighter granites like Colonial White or Kashmir White. Quartz fabricators will appreciate the clean lines that complement popular colors from Caesarstone, Cambria, and Silestone collections. The sink's heat resistance makes it particularly suitable for quartzite installations where thermal shock is a concern. For marble countertops, especially Carrara or Calacatta, the white-on-white aesthetic delivers timeless elegance. The smooth glazed finish resists staining better than marble itself, making maintenance easier for homeowners. Soap stone and concrete counters also pair well, with the sink's traditional styling complementing both rustic and contemporary design schemes. Due to fireclay manufacturing tolerances, dimensions may vary by up to 1/8", so always template from the actual sink unit when possible.
Where to Buy
The ALFI Brand AB1720UM-W is available through major plumbing distributors including Ferguson, specialty retailers like The Sink Boutique, and online marketplaces such as Amazon and Build.com. Fabricators can often source directly through their stone supplier relationships or establish wholesale accounts with ALFI Brand distributors for volume pricing. Typical retail pricing ranges from $300-$400 depending on supplier and market conditions. When quoting jobs, verify current availability as fireclay sinks manufactured in Italy can experience extended lead times during peak construction seasons.
