Elkay EHS-18-STDX Stainless Steel Hand Sink Nsf

Product Description

The ELKAY EHS-18-STDX is an 18-gauge type 304 series stainless steel hand sink designed for commercial hand-washing applications. Built to handle the demands of high-traffic environments, this unit measures 18 inches x 14.5 inches x 23 inches overall and includes a single bowl measuring 14 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 5 inches deep. A center drain with a 1.5-inch opening handles waste disposal efficiently. The sink ships complete with integrated soap and towel dispensers, a lead-free swing spout faucet, and a full-length 6-inch backsplash. NSF certification confirms the unit meets food-service and public-health safety standards. Licensed plumbers and commercial contractors are the primary installers for this type of fixture.

This hand sink is suited for use in classrooms, healthcare facilities, offices, commercial kitchens, public restrooms, bars, and prep areas. The compact footprint makes it practical where wall space is limited but a dedicated hand-washing station is required by code. The 6-inch backsplash protects wall surfaces in wet environments. All necessary mounting hardware is included, reducing on-site sourcing time during installation. The integrated dispensers keep soap and towels immediately accessible at the point of use, supporting hand-hygiene compliance in regulated environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and verify drain rough-in dimensions before mounting. Confirm wall backing is adequate to support the unit weight prior to fastening. Do not over-tighten faucet or drain fittings, as stainless steel threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
