Pre Rinse Faucet: How to Build a Better Commercial Sink Station
Key Faucet Styles for Commercial Sinks
- Pre-Rinse Faucet with Sprayer: Features a high-velocity spray head and flexible hose, ideal for 2- or 3-compartment dishwashing sinks.
- Gooseneck Faucet: Features a tall, arched stationary or swing spout, best for deep 1-compartment, hand, or utility sinks.
- Swing Spout Faucet: Features a movable 6- to 18-inch neck for general-purpose washing and reach across multiple basins.
Important Installation Considerations
- NSF/ANSI 61 Certification: Ensure the faucet meets commercial and lead-free sanitation standards.
- Mounting Type:
- Deck-mount faucets install directly into pre-drilled holes on the sink deck or countertop.
-
- Wall-mount faucets attach to the wall or backsplash, keeping the sink deck clear and easier to clean.
- Support Braces: Heavy-duty pre-rinse or commercial units often use a wall-support bracket to prevent the tower from flexing or pulling away under daily use.
