Commercial Sink Drains

Installation involves placing plumber's putty around the drain flange, inserting it into the sink's drain hole, and tightening the locknut from underneath. Attach the gasket and tailpiece, then connect to the P-trap. We recommend consulting a licensed plumber for professional installation to ensure a leak-free connection.

The P-trap size must match the drain outlet, typically 1.5 or 2 inches for commercial sinks. A 1.5-inch trap is common for hand sinks, while a 2-inch trap is used for larger scullery sinks or in high-volume environments to ensure faster drainage and prevent clogs. Always verify against local plumbing codes.

Stainless steel is the preferred material due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning. It withstands heavy use, harsh chemicals, and high temperatures found in commercial kitchens. NSF-approved stainless steel also meets strict sanitation standards required in food service environments.

NSF approval signifies that a product meets strict public health and safety standards. For a sink drain in a food service environment, this certification ensures the material and design are non-toxic, corrosion-resistant, and can be easily sanitized, preventing bacterial growth and ensuring food safety compliance.

Yes, we specialize in custom fabrication. If you have a sink with non-standard dimensions or require a specific drain configuration, we can manufacture a solution tailored to your specifications. Simply provide us with a description or a technical drawing, and our team can create a custom drain assembly that fits your needs.

A lever drain uses an external handle to open and close the drain stopper, allowing for hands-free operation and improved sanitation. A twist drain, or rotary drain, uses a handle that you turn to operate the stopper. Lever drains are often preferred in commercial kitchens for convenience and hygiene.
