Commercial Mop Sinks and Utility Sinks

Most local health departments require a dedicated mop or service sink in food service facilities to ensure janitorial wastewater isn't disposed of in food prep or handwashing sinks. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so operators should confirm specific codes with their local health authority before finalizing kitchen layouts.

A mop sink is typically a low-profile, floor-mounted basin designed specifically for filling and draining mop buckets, while a utility sink is a broader category that includes deeper basins used for general cleaning, equipment washing, and maintenance tasks. Both are available in Jumbo, Mop, Service, and Utility configurations.

16-gauge stainless steel is the standard for most commercial mop and utility sinks, offering durability suitable for daily heavy use in kitchens, industrial facilities, and institutions. Thicker 14-gauge options are available for facilities requiring additional impact resistance and longevity under extreme conditions.
