Commercial Sinks

Commercial sinks must meet health code requirements set by local and state authorities, which generally mandate NSF-approved equipment in food service environments. Three-compartment sinks are required for wash, rinse, and sanitize operations. Handwash sinks must be dedicated and accessible. ADA compliance is required in public-facing areas. Specific requirements vary by jurisdiction, so consult your local health department for guidance.

14GA (gauge) stainless steel is heavier and thicker than 16GA, making it more resistant to denting and deformation under heavy industrial use such as meat packaging or high-volume food processing. 16GA is the standard commercial weight and is well-suited for most restaurant and institutional kitchen applications. Griffin Products offers both gauges across its product lines.

Yes. Most Griffin Products commercial sinks ship with specification-grade hardware already included — typically a commercial swing spout or gooseneck faucet, basket drains, and a wall mount faucet installation kit. This ensures you receive a complete, ready-to-install unit without sourcing additional components separately.

Most health codes require a three-compartment sink for washing, rinsing, and sanitizing smallwares and equipment in commercial food service operations. A separate handwash sink is also required. Single and two-compartment sinks are used for prep or utility purposes. Check with your local health authority for the specific requirements applicable to your operation.

Select Griffin Products models — particularly the Blanco wash station and Brazos handwash sink series — are available in ADA and TAS (Texas Accessibility Standards) compliant configurations. These models are designed to meet accessibility requirements for public or employee handwashing areas in commercial and institutional settings.

Griffin Products offers up to a 10-year warranty on select product lines including the Wichita, Trinity, and Blanco series, and a 5-year warranty on lines such as Sabine, Terrell, and Pecos. All warranties are provided by the manufacturer and cover the product against defects in materials and workmanship. A 30-day money-back guarantee is also included with every purchase.
