6. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: What is the difference between 201 and 304 stainless steel for this sink?

A1: 201 stainless steel is a cost-effective option for general commercial use with moderate humidity and cleaning chemical exposure. 304 stainless steel is food-grade, offers superior corrosion and rust resistance, and is recommended for high-moisture environments (e.g., dishwashing areas) or businesses with strict food safety requirements.

Q2: Can the sink be customized to fit my kitchen’s dimensions?

A2: Yes, we offer full customization services for bowl dimensions (length, width, depth) and overall size, as well as installation type (drop-in, undermount, wall-mounted). Contact our sales team with your specific requirements for a tailored solution.

Q3: Is the sink compatible with a garbage disposal?

A3: Yes, most models are compatible with standard commercial garbage disposals. The drain opening (1.5-inch to 2-inch) is designed to fit most disposal units, and we can provide compatible drain assemblies upon request.

Q4: How do I clean and maintain the stainless steel sink?

A4: For daily cleaning, wipe the sink with a damp cloth and mild kitchen detergent, then dry immediately to prevent water spots. Avoid harsh chemicals (bleach, ammonia) or abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Regularly clean the strainer basket to prevent clogs.

Q5: Does the sink come with an overflow drain?

A5: An overflow drain is an optional feature. It helps prevent water spillage if the sink is filled too full, making it ideal for busy kitchens where staff may be multitasking. Contact us to request an overflow drain with your sink.

Q6: What installation type is best for my kitchen?

A6: Drop-in (top-mount) is best for easy retrofitting or existing countertops. Undermount provides a seamless, easy-to-clean countertop-sink transition, ideal for new kitchen builds. Wall-mounted is perfect for compact spaces (e.g., food trucks) where countertop space is limited.

Q7: How durable is the sink, and will it dent easily?

A7: The sink is constructed with 1.2mm-1.5mm thick stainless steel and reinforced edges/bottom, making it highly resistant to dents and impacts from heavy cookware. It is designed to withstand the rigorous demands of commercial use without warping or damage.

Q8: Does the sink come with a warranty?

A8: Yes, we provide a 1-2 year warranty covering manufacturing defects (e.g., rust, corrosion, bowl warping, or drain assembly issues). Normal wear and tear, misuse, or damage from harsh chemicals/abuse are not covered under the warranty.
