Commercial 1 Compartment Sinks

Best 1 Compartment Sinks for Commercial Kitchens

A single bowl sink gives a station one dedicated basin for vegetable washing, thawing, pot and pan soaking, and general utility duty, so that work never has to wait on the main dish line. Back corners, prep areas and bar stations are the usual homes for one, and a drainboard on either end turns the bowl into a small working station.

We feature top-quality brands such as Advance Tabco, BlendPort, John Boos, Omcan USA, Sapphire Manufacturing, and Steelworks, and strive to provide the most competitive prices available.

Benefits of One Compartment Sinks

One bowl takes the least wall of any compartment sink, so a crew can add a washing point where a longer run would never fit. Bowls are welded stainless steel with coved corners for easy cleaning, and the legs land on adjustable bullet feet so the unit levels out on an uneven floor. Keep dedicated handwashing away from food work by pairing it with hand sinks.

What to Look for in Single Bowl Sinks

Measure the wall before anything else. Overall lengths reach about 105 inches left to right, with most models landing between 36 and 54 inches, widths run 19 to 36 inches front to back, and finished heights sit between 41 and 45 inches. Stations that need separate wash and rinse water should step up to 2 compartment sinks.

• Bowl size and depth: Compartments run 14 to 28 inches front to back, 10 to 48 inches left to right, and 11, 12, 13 or 14 inches deep.
• Drainboards: Layouts come with one drainboard, two drainboards, or none at all, in sizes from 14 to 36 inches.
• Stainless steel gauge: Builds are offered in 14, 16 and 18 gauge, with type 304 stainless steel on many models and heavier gauge standing up better to daily pot washing.
• Backsplash and faucet holes: Faucet holes come punched on 8 inch centers in the backsplash, and faucets are typically sold separately.

Match the bowl depth and the drainboard layout to the work the station actually does, then check the wall measurement one more time before ordering. Kitchens running a full manual wash, rinse and sanitize line will want 3 compartment sinks instead.
