Omcan Hand Sink And Floor Mop Sink Combination

Combining both functions into a single plumbed fixture saves a dedicated wall connection and floor drain for each separate unit. In a kitchen corner or back-of-house utility area where plumbing rough-in points are limited, the Omcan Hand Sink and Floor Mop Sink Combination gets two required commercial sanitation stations from a single installation footprint.

18-gauge type 304 stainless steel is used for the hand sink bowl, cabinet body, mop sink basin, and wall mount clips. The 304 grade handles constant water exposure and the aggressive cleaning chemicals used in a mop sink, where concentrated floor cleaners, degreasers, and sanitizers contact the basin daily.

A 1.5-inch drain basket for the hand sink and a 3.5-inch basket for the mop sink are both included. The mop sink requires the larger basket to capture debris, lint, and floor particles that wash off mop heads without clogging the drain line. The smaller hand sink basket catches food particles from hand-rinsing activity during food prep.

Yes, the included gooseneck faucet is a low-lead model, which is required by US plumbing code for any faucet connected to potable water lines in a food preparation or food handling facility. A standard faucet without lead certification will fail commercial kitchen plumbing inspection in all US states that have adopted the Safe Drinking Water Act amendments.

The unit requires connection to hot and cold water supply lines and two drain connections, one for the hand sink and one for the mop sink floor drain. All plumbing connections in a commercial kitchen must be made by a licensed plumber to pass inspection. Self-installation of commercial sink plumbing typically fails health code inspection and creates liability for the operator.

Rinse the mop sink basin thoroughly at the end of each service to remove concentrated floor cleaner residue. Scrub weekly with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner to remove the grime ring that forms from repeated mop-out cycles. Never use steel wool or scouring pads on the basin interior, as scratches in the 304 surface trap bacteria and accelerate staining despite the steel grade's corrosion resistance.

US health codes require a dedicated hand-washing sink separate from any food prep sink and accessible to kitchen staff at all times. A standalone mop sink does not satisfy the hand-washing requirement. The Omcan Hand Sink and Floor Mop Sink Combination provides the dedicated hand sink in the same plumbing rough-in, satisfying both requirements with one installation.
