Commercial Mop & Utility Sinks

A mop sink provides a dedicated, code-compliant location for janitorial staff to fill buckets, rinse mops, and dump wastewater without using regular plumbing fixtures. It protects other sinks from contamination, supports sanitation protocols, and is typically required in commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, and institutional buildings.

Mop sinks are typically floor-mounted or low-set basins built specifically for janitorial tasks like bucket filling and wastewater disposal. Utility sinks are more versatile, often wall-mounted, and used for general-purpose cleaning, hand washing tools, or rinsing equipment. Both are available in Jumbo, Service, and Utility configurations to match specific facility needs.

Sink size depends on bucket dimensions, available floor space, and usage volume. Standard mop sinks range from compact wall-mounted units to large floor basins. High-traffic facilities like commercial kitchens or industrial plants often require larger Jumbo or Service sinks, while smaller institutional spaces may only need a standard Utility sink.

Yes, Griffin Products manufactures NSF-approved utility and mop sinks constructed to meet strict food service and sanitation standards. This certification confirms the stainless steel construction, seams, and finish meet health code requirements for commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, and other regulated environments across the United States.

Griffin Products manufactures its mop and utility sinks primarily from 16-gauge stainless steel, the standard for commercial-grade durability, with 14-gauge options available for heavier-duty applications. This thickness resists dents, corrosion, and daily wear while remaining easy to clean and maintain in high-traffic facilities.

Most mop sinks require a dedicated water supply line, a trap primer, and either a floor-mounted drain or basin drain depending on the model. Local plumbing codes often dictate specific backflow prevention and drainage requirements, so it's important to consult a licensed plumber during installation planning.
