Free-Standing Hand Sinks
Sort By:
Most free-standing hand sinks come with a faucet, but you will want to double check the model you select, just to make sure. Also, the faucet center indicates how far apart the incoming water lines need to be. For these small sinks, the water lines usually need to be four inches apart. The drain opening diameter indicates how large the drain pipe needs to be (usually 1 ½” or 2”).
As far as sink placement goes, that is mostly determined by your local health department. Generally speaking, each area of your kitchen needs to have at least one sink easily accessible for employee hand washing. Employees must wash their hands whenever switching between tasks (going from handling money to handling food for example), whenever they come back from a break, before putting on gloves and after taking them off and when their hands become excessively dirty when performing a given task.
