One Compartment Drop In Hand Sinks – The Complete Guide
Hand sinks come in all shapes & sizes, but their function remains the same. They promote hygiene in your facility & fight against the spread of germs/disease. One type of unconventional hand sink is one compartment drop ins. What are these hand sinks exactly & what are the benefits?
In this article, we'll completely break down one compartment drop in hand sinks & quickly review IMC’s offerings. Let’s start.
Versatile & Useful
Let us define One Compartment Drop In Hand Sinks (henceforth known as OCDIHS). OCDIHS are used primarily for handwashing (however, they can be used for other miscellaneous tasks such as rinsing produce or filling pots if necessary – but handwashing should be a separate task from this). They are particularly useful in areas where space is limited & do not allow a standalone hand sink. Most are designed to be installed on an existing countertop, creating a sleek & professional look.
Expanding on the space issue, OCDIHS are commonly found in small food service areas such as concession stands or food trucks where all equipment is installed in proximity. Maximizing the space given is really the name of the game.
Apart from functionality, OCDIHS are utilized to meet health & safety regulations related to handwashing. If you need a certain amount of hand sinks installed in your facility, OCDIHS can help meet local codes (if applicable).
OCDIHS are also cost effective in that it eliminates the need for a separate sink unit. Installation is also a breeze as you just “drop-in” the sink bowls, make a few connections & you are set.
