A:  The weight is 25 lbs.

A:  The cutout size is 20 x 31 same as your opening. As for clips i don't remember if mine came with clips since all i ever use is a bead of silicone caulk under the rim before installing it and the weight of the sink will hold it in place until the silicone dries and it acts like a glue. I recently replaced my thermocast after 18 years of hard use and it wasn't easy getting it out of the counter top even though the only thing holding it was the silicone and it never moved over all those years.

A:  porcelain acrylic can scratch fairly easy and don't last as long. I change mine about every 5 years. I'd use cast iron but the weight is to much for my cheesey mobile home cabinets.

A:  Do you have fat fingers?

A:  Takes a standard basket strainer.
