        "text": "Before purchasing a replacement sink, you must measure your cabinet base width, existing countertop cutout dimensions, and plumbing rough-in locations. The interior width of your sink base cabinet dictates the absolute maximum bowl size you can install; for example, a 36-inch base cabinet generally fits a sink up to 33 inches wide. You should also check the bowl depth to ensure adequate vertical clearance for existing P-traps, garbage disposals, and supply lines underneath. Measuring accurately beforehand prevents unexpected cabinet framing alterations or mismatched countertop gaps.",
