Commercial Three Compartment Sinks

14-gauge stainless steel sinks, like Griffin's Wichita and Trinity series, are considered the highest quality for commercial use because the thicker steel resists dents, corrosion, and wear under heavy daily use. 16-gauge options, such as the Sabine, Terrell, and Pecos series, offer reliable standard-duty performance at a lower cost.

The 3 sink rule refers to the health code requirement that commercial kitchens use a three-compartment sink for manual dishwashing: one basin for washing with detergent, one for rinsing, and one for sanitizing with an approved chemical or heat method, followed by air drying before storage.

Griffin Products offers three compartment sinks across multiple series, including Wichita, Trinity, Sabine, Terrell, and Pecos, with a range of compartment dimensions and overall footprints to fit different kitchen layouts. Custom fabrication is also available for facilities with unique space or configuration requirements.

14-gauge stainless steel is thicker and more resistant to dents, warping, and heavy impact, making it ideal for high-volume commercial kitchens. 16-gauge steel is thinner but still durable for standard commercial use, offering a more budget-friendly option for moderate-volume foodservice operations.

Yes, Griffin Products' compartment sinks feature NSF-approved construction, meaning they meet strict food service health and safety standards. This certification ensures the sinks are suitable for use in restaurants, institutional kitchens, and other regulated commercial foodservice environments.

Griffin Products includes specification-grade hardware, such as commercial faucets and basket drains, with their compartment sinks to simplify selection and installation. This ensures buyers receive a complete, ready-to-install solution without needing to source additional components separately.
