Product Details

If you want the look of an apron-front sink, but don't want to replace your cabinets and countertop, you'll love the Vault. This top-mount apron-front sink features a thin, 1.25 mm rim and an innovative shortened, Self-Trimming apron, allowing for installation in most existing standard cabinets and laminate countertops. Unlike most farmhouse sinks, the Vault apron-front sink doesn't require a special apron-front cabinet, making it ideal for replacement or remodel situations and enabling a fresh look with minimal time and expense. The installation requires only the removal of the cabinet's false drawer front and a simple cut to the cabinet face. The unique Self-Trimming apron overlaps the cabinet face, ensuring consistently beautiful installation results. Simply be sure to use the Pre-Installation Sink, Counter and Cabinet Compatibility Template to ensure the sink will fit in your kitchen setup. It comes included with the sink or can be ordered ahead by calling 1-800-4KOHLER.
  • 9 in. basin depth (237 mm)
  • Top mount installation
  • Double equal bowls
  • Features an innovative Self-Trimming apron to ensure consistent, successful installation results

          A:  Contact the manufacturer.

          A:  I have a template and am happy to send it to you. If you would like it, please please respond to this thread. You likely will have to cut your granite to fit the sink because the back of the sink is a little different.

              A:  When I was looking I read on the Koehler website I believe that they would send s template ahead of time. I love the sink. I did something similar. I had to cut out granite to get it to fit in. The back edge of the granite ended up being very thin and brittle and it broke. So I had to build out the trim on the back of the countertop an extra inch so that it would cover that area. I do love the sink though. I bought the stainless steel grates that fit in the bottom. I also hooked it up with a disposal.

                A:  Good luck on getting that template folks! I was impressed (and highly misled) with the Kohler Product Expert response and just wasted 40 min of my life trying to get it. The first lady in the literature dept was very nice. She, however, could "only" order the first numbered template (-7). She then transferred me to the product dept. A not so nice lady took the call and without even asking me the number of the template immediately wanted to transfer me back to the literature dept.!!! After a 20 Min wait, this?!?! come on!? After some insistence, she "agreed" to look up the template number and was quick to inform me that costs $17.95. So.... let me get this straight... I’m about to buy a sink for $500 and they can’t send me a measurement template, or for that matter, share the pdf? Wow...!!! So I got on the Livechat with the HomeDepot folks. Got a very nice lady which endured my venting, and she herself called Kohler. Same experience. Except this time the Kohler rep offered up a new gem idea… She did speak to them, and sure enough, same scenario, and this time the Kohler rep shared how the templates come with the sink! Dear Kohler, 1. Your expert needs to UPDATE your response here as it is misleading and incorrect! 2. Your business model is absurd! The result… if you want to sink, spend $500 , buy the sink, use the template, and if the template indicates it doesn’t work, return the sink. Amazed by how absurd this is! @HomeDepot This is the post I am suggesting you take down as it’s misleading and a lie. Kohler Product Expert March 4, 2018 Belle, my name is Jessica with Kohler Customer Service. I am happy to assist with your inquiry.

                by|Aug 13, 2019

                  A:  Absolutely, I did. You need to call or e-mail Kohler and a service sale rep will send one to you - no problem.

                  by|Dec 19, 2018

                    A:  Yes, call Kohler. The cardboard cutout template is considered a "service part," so it's not in the "literature" department (they only have the countertop paper cutout). The part number for this particular "Kit Compatibility Template" for this exact sink (and others with more faucet holes) is: #1178341. Kohler was nice, and 2-day shipped it to me for free.

                      Amazing Sink, but very poor unfinished surface with little bits of aluminum visible and felt
                      We bought this in early September and just completed installation of sink and faucets Thursday. We first noticed the roughness feel of the top mount surface on all 4 sides. This does not occur on the apron front or inside. I assumed it was adhesive from the protector film. I call customer support and was asked to use peanut butter or vegetable oil. I did but no change. As I cleaned with soft cloth and bounty towels, the surface pulled bits of the cloth and kitchen towel. Upon closer inspection and taking photos close up, I have discovered multiple tiny bits of stainless steel "filaments" on the surface affected running along the grain of the brushed finish. It looks like the finish process to these surfaces was not completed and not smoothened, or the stainless steel is faulty. I am attaching some photos and will be calling customer care again on Monday morning. Any advice from Kohler would be much appreciated. I would like a complete refund and or a new sink with the proper smooth surface.

                      Hi ScottCar, this is Sarah with Kohler Co. I'm very sorry to see your new Vault stainless steel sink has a type of "filament" on the surface, in various places. This is nothing you should expect. We appreciate you taking the time to share these photos. We first suggest cleaning the sink using Bar Keeper's Friend MORE Spray and Foam Cleaner and a green Scotch Brite pad, rubbed with the grain. Please call our Customer Service team directly at 1-800-4KOHLER (M-F; 8am-5pm CST) for additional assistance. We are here to help. Sincerely, Sarah S. Kohler Customer Service

                        Deep double kitchen sink with overflow height divider. Attractive brushed stainless steel. Very sturdy. No pooling in the bottom of the sink. Installation was straight forward, but not easy. Drawing for countertop cutout was too large front to back, accurate left to right. Sink sits flush on countertop and fits snuggly over the cabinet front frame. It is a really pretty and a great work sink.

                        Going to request a replacement.. Unhappy with brushed grain
                        Product concept fits our needs however disappointed with brushed stainless grain quality. Some sections look machine brushed and some look like manually brushed with inconsistent grain that is not straight in some places. It lacks uniformity in the most critical places. Also a defect dent or low spot. Uneven grain is very noticeable in bright lighting. Pics included but not able to capture effectively.

                        How can stainless steel rust?
                        We ordered two of these for a brand new kitchen remodel we are doing. One of them seems to be ok, but the second one we put in is...rusting...? In the bottom seams of the sink we are seeing rust. I don't understand how or why Stainless Steel could rust. But it is. I'm very disappointed in the quality of the materials themselves. It is in use so I don't see replacing it. Didn't expect this from Kohler. Might this have been manufactured of substandard Stainless Steel?

                        Hi Barry12, this is Lisa with Kohler Co. I am sorry to hear of the concerns you have had with your new sink. When rusting occurs on this kind of product it is because a metallic particle like a dust particle has settled onto the surface. This can happen at the manufacturing facility or within packing. Once the metallic particle comes in contact with moisture, it oxidizes and forms a rust spot. This is not the material itself rusting but a spot that can be cleaned. To ensure the rust spot is removed, we recommend using Autosol Rust Remover or Bar Keepers Friend MORE Spray & Foam Cleaner. If you do need further assistance, please feel free to contact us at KohlerCustServ@Kohler.com. We look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Lisa A., Kohler Customer Service

                          The installation went great, with the template and all. Once installed and we started using it we discovered that the bottom of both sides of the sink are almost flat! Initially you wouldn't think it would matter, however, because of it being flat, it takes a lot of extra work and time to get things to go down the sink into the garbage disposal. Kohler needs to make the bottom angled towards the drain and it would have received an excellent!!!
