Bsc Preferred EHS-18-KVX Hand Sink Knee Valve Nsf

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED EHS-18-KVX is an 18-gauge Type 304 series stainless steel hand sink designed for demanding commercial environments where hygiene and hands-free operation are required. The unit measures 18 inches in length, 14.5 inches in width, and 11 inches in height overall. The single bowl measures 14 inches long by 10 inches wide by 5 inches deep, providing ample wash space. A lead-free gooseneck faucet and knee valve assembly are included, enabling hands-free operation without contact. NSF certification confirms the sink meets applicable public health standards for commercial food service and healthcare applications. Installation hardware and a drain strainer are included in the package.

This sink is suited for commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, classrooms, and other institutional settings where frequent handwashing and sanitation compliance are priorities. The knee valve allows staff to operate the faucet without using their hands, which is a common requirement in food service and medical environments. The full-length 6-inch backsplash protects the wall surface behind the sink from splash and moisture. The center-positioned 1.5-inch drain promotes efficient drainage. Two pre-punched faucet holes accommodate the included gooseneck faucet, and no additional drilling is required for standard installation.
