What is a service sink primarily designed for?

A service sink is primarily designed for cleaning and washing tools and equipment. This type of sink is typically found in areas such as maintenance rooms, workshops, or utility spaces where its primary function is to facilitate the maintenance of cleanliness and sanitation for various tools and equipment used in plumbing and other trades. Service sinks often have deeper basins and are constructed from durable materials to withstand frequent use and the potential for more significant waste disposal, such as grease or muddy tools.

Using a service sink for cleaning tools helps maintain a clear separation between areas designated for food preparation and other activities, thereby supporting health and safety regulations. The design and purpose of a service sink eliminate the risk of contaminating food preparation areas, as it is not intended to be used for food-related activities.
