The Phoenix 2000 Series kitchen sinks are entry-level stainless steel sinks built from 304 grade steel in single, double and one-and-a-half bowl configurations. Each sink suits undermount or overmount installation with a centre rear waste position that frees up cupboard space beneath. The 2000 Series is the more accessible option in the Phoenix sink lineup, using a machine-pressed construction method rather than the heavier hand-welded build of the step-up 4000 Series.
Bowl configurations in the 2000 Series
The range covers three bowl layouts. The single bowl sink comes in two sizes, a compact 411 x 461mm option and a larger 588 x 461mm option, both suited to kitchens wanting one continuous basin for larger pots and trays. The double bowl sink measures 793 x 461mm and splits the basin evenly for washing and rinsing side by side. The one-and-a-half bowl option at 617 x 461mm keeps a full-depth main bowl alongside a shallower second bowl, useful for draining or quick rinsing without taking up the space of a full second bowl.
Construction and build
Every sink in the 2000 Series is made from 304 grade stainless steel at 0.9mm thickness, using a machine-pressed manufacturing process. This keeps the sinks lighter and more affordable than hand-welded alternatives while still meeting the corrosion resistance and durability expected of 304 grade steel. A brushed stainless steel finish is standard across the range, chosen for how well it hides fingerprints and light scratching compared with a polished finish.
Mounting type
All 2000 Series sinks are designed to work as either undermount or overmount installations, giving flexibility depending on the benchtop material. Undermount suits stone or engineered stone benchtops for a seamless finish, while overmount works with laminate benchtops where the sink rim sits visible on top of the surface. The centre rear waste location on every model keeps plumbing towards the back of the cabinet, leaving more usable storage space directly under the bowl.
Matching accessories
The 2000 Series shares its accessory ecosystem with the Phoenix 4000 and 5000 Series sinks, meaning chopping boards, colanders, drainer trays and wire baskets sized for these sink families will fit a 2000 Series bowl. This makes it possible to build out a full workstation-style sink setup even on the entry-level range, adding food prep tools that sit directly over or in the bowl.
Who the 2000 Series suits
The 2000 Series is the right fit for kitchens wanting a genuine stainless steel sink without stepping up to the heavier gauge, hand-welded 4000 Series. It suits rental properties, budget-conscious renovations, or secondary kitchens like a butler's pantry where a lighter-duty sink still needs to perform reliably day to day. For a primary family kitchen with heavier daily use, the thicker gauge and welded construction of the 4000 Series is worth comparing against the 2000 Series before deciding.
Installation notes
Because bowl depth and width vary across the three configurations, confirming exact dimensions against your cabinetry and benchtop cutout before ordering is important, particularly for undermount installs where the stone fabricator needs final measurements in advance. Each sink ships with its basket waste and fixing kit included, so no separate waste purchase is needed to complete a standard installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Phoenix 2000 Series and 4000 Series kitchen sinks?
The 2000 Series uses 0.9mm gauge stainless steel with a machine-pressed construction, while the 4000 Series uses a thicker 1.2mm gauge with hand-welded construction. The 4000 Series is the heavier-duty, deeper option, while the 2000 Series is the more affordable entry point into genuine 304 stainless steel.
What bowl sizes are available in the Phoenix 2000 Series?
The 2000 Series comes in single bowl (411 x 461mm or 588 x 461mm), double bowl (793 x 461mm), and one-and-a-half bowl (617 x 461mm) configurations. All share the same 228mm bowl depth and centre rear waste position.
Can the Phoenix 2000 Series be installed as an undermount sink?
Yes. Every sink in the 2000 Series supports both undermount and overmount installation, so it can be fitted beneath a stone benchtop for a seamless finish or on top of a laminate benchtop with a visible rim.
What accessories fit the Phoenix 2000 Series sinks?
Phoenix chopping boards, colanders, drainer trays and wire baskets are designed to fit the 2000, 4000 and 5000 Series sink families interchangeably. This lets you add workstation-style accessories to a 2000 Series sink even though it's the entry-level range.
Is the Phoenix 2000 Series made from real stainless steel?
Yes, the 2000 Series is made from 304 grade stainless steel, the same grade used in the 4000 Series, just at a lighter 0.9mm gauge with a pressed rather than welded construction. This keeps genuine stainless steel performance at a more accessible price point.
