Service Sinks & Utility Faucets – Heavy Duty for the
Dirty Jobs
Service sinks are designed for filling buckets, disposing of mop water, or cleaning
maintenance tools. Installed in janitorial closets or utility rooms, these units must be
durable, high-capacity, and easy to clean.
Key considerations:
• Wall-mounted backsplash with vacuum
breakers to prevent backflow
• Integral drainboards or deep basin design
• High clearance gooseneck or swing spout for
easy bucket filling
• Stainless or cast iron construction depending
on traffic and abuse level
Component Hardware’s utility fixtures often feature
EPAct-compliant flow rates, chemical-resistant
gaskets, and check valves for backflow prevention.
Mop Sinks – Floor-Level Convenience
Mop sinks, also known as janitor sinks or slop sinks, are floor-mounted basins
designed for quick emptying and refilling of mop buckets, without staff needing to lift
heavy items or risk cross-contaminating food areas.
Look For:
• 3- to 6-gallon capacity basins with coved corners for
easy cleaning
• Wall-mounted faucet with vacuum breaker
• Optional hose reel or hanger for added convenience
• Floor splash guards or back and side guards to protect
nearby walls
Both T&S Brass and Component Hardware offer
mop sink faucet kits specifically engineered for
janitorial service areas.
