This is a compact stainless steel hand wash basin from Mechline’s Basix range, designed for fixed installation at a dedicated hand-washing point in a commercial kitchen or food preparation area. It is supplied with a drain boss, front apron, overflow, and a compatible basin tap included as standard.
Dedicated hand wash basins are a legal requirement in food preparation environments under UK food hygiene legislation, and this unit addresses that requirement in a practical, unfussy format. The stainless steel construction holds up well against repeated cleaning with commercial sanitisers and resists the corrosion and discolouration that humid kitchen environments can cause to lower-grade materials over time.
A few practical points worth confirming before ordering:
- A basin tap is included as standard
- No chain is supplied — a wall-mounted soap dispenser is typically used alongside
- Requires a plumbed waste connection and a cold or mixed water supply
- Wall fixings and installation are not included; a competent plumber should carry out the connection
At 2.7kg, the basin is straightforward to handle during fitting and suits smaller kitchen footprints where space at the wash point is limited. It is well suited to small commercial kitchens, prep areas, café back-of-house installations, and front-of-house service points. For higher-traffic sites or locations where a larger or heavier-gauge unit would be more appropriate, alternatives are available in the range.
If you are fitting out a kitchen for the first time or want to confirm this basin meets your environmental health requirements, we are happy to talk it through.
