Stainless Steel Commercial Sinks

14-gauge stainless steel is the heaviest and most durable option, ideal for high-volume food processing, meat packaging, and heavy industrial use. 16-gauge is the standard for most commercial kitchens and food service operations. Griffin Products offers both, with 14GA sinks carrying up to a 10-year warranty and 16GA options offering 5 to 10 years depending on the series.

NSF approval means the sink meets the National Sanitation Foundation's rigorous standards for materials, design, and cleanability in commercial food service environments. NSF-approved sinks typically feature coved corners, sanitary rolled rims, and recessed drain openings that prevent bacteria buildup — and are required by most health departments for commercial kitchen installations.

Most health codes require a minimum three-compartment sink for commercial kitchens to wash, rinse, and sanitize items. Two-compartment sinks are common for prep or supplemental washing. Single-compartment sinks work well as utility or prep sinks. Griffin Products offers 1, 2, and 3-compartment configurations across multiple series with optional integral drainboards.

Coved corners feature a rounded 3/4-inch radius design that eliminates 90-degree angles where bacteria and debris can collect, making them the preferred choice for NSF-approved food service and meat processing environments. Square corner sinks have a traditional 90-degree corner profile and are often used in heavy industrial or non-food-contact applications. Griffin Products offers both styles.
