Hand Wash Basins

The best design depends on the environment. Medical scrub-up stations benefit from touchless electronic or wrist blade faucets for infection control, while commercial kitchens often use durable 16-gauge stainless steel handwash sinks with standard faucets. Square-corner, single-compartment bowls with 10.5-inch depth offer a good balance of durability, hygiene, and space efficiency.

Common types include scrub-up sinks for surgical and clinical use, standard handwash sinks for kitchens and institutions, and wash stations for industrial or multi-user hygiene needs. Options vary by steel gauge (16GA or 20GA), faucet control (wrist blade or touchless electronic), bowl size, and mounting configuration to suit different facility requirements.

16-gauge stainless steel is the standard for heavy commercial use, offering superior durability for hospitals, restaurants, and high-traffic institutional settings. 20-gauge steel is a lighter, more economical option suited for standard commercial applications with moderate usage. Choosing the right gauge depends on facility traffic volume and long-term durability needs.

Griffin Products offers wrist blade handle faucets and touchless electronic faucets. Wrist blade handles allow hands-free operation using the forearm, ideal for scrub environments, while touchless electronic faucets use sensors to minimize contact entirely. Both options support infection control protocols required in medical and food service settings.
