Product Description
This is a standard-sized stainless steel hand wash basin from Basix, designed for fixed installation at a dedicated hand-washing point in a commercial kitchen. It comes supplied with a drain boss, front apron, and overflow, and is compatible with most basin taps, though no tap or chain is included. At 2.7kg, it is lightweight enough to handle easily during fitting.
In practice, dedicated hand wash basins are a legal requirement in food preparation environments under UK food hygiene legislation, and this unit covers that requirement in a straightforward, no-frills format. The stainless steel construction is well suited to the demands of a commercial kitchen — resistant to repeated cleaning with standard chemical sanitisers and unlikely to corrode or discolour in a humid environment.
Practical considerations worth noting before purchasing:
- No tap is included — you will need to source a basin tap separately to suit your plumbing configuration
- No chain is supplied, so a soap dispenser or wall-mounted option is typically used alongside
- The unit requires a standard plumbed waste connection and a suitable cold or mixed water supply
- Wall fixings and installation are not included; a competent plumber should carry out the connection
This basin is well suited to small kitchens, prep areas, front-of-house service points, and anywhere a compact, compliant hand wash station is needed. For larger sites or higher-traffic washrooms, heavier-gauge or larger-format basins may be worth considering.
If you are fitting out a new kitchen or need to confirm this unit meets your local environmental health requirements, our team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No tap is included. The basin is compatible with most standard basin taps, so you can select one to suit your existing plumbing configuration — whether that is a single cold feed or a mixed supply. If you are unsure which tap type to specify, it is worth checking with your plumber before ordering.
- UK food hygiene regulations require a dedicated hand wash basin in food preparation areas, separate from any sink used for food or equipment. This unit fulfils that requirement when correctly installed with a suitable tap and soap provision. Environmental health officers may have specific positioning or signage requirements, so it is worth confirming locally if you are setting up a new kitchen.
- The basin needs to be wall-mounted with appropriate fixings and connected to a plumbed water supply and waste outlet by a competent plumber. No fixings or tap are supplied. The unit is lightweight, which makes positioning straightforward, but the wall surface and stud layout should be assessed before fitting to ensure secure mounting.
