Use Cases

Bring handwashing to the needed location

Self-contained portable sinks provide a wash station where permanent plumbing is not available. They are suited to shared spaces, remote serving locations, commercial settings, community events, and child-focused areas.

How to Choose

Match the water setup and user height

Select a self-contained model for a plumbing-free setup or a plumbing-connected sink where building water and drainage are available. Compare 26-inch and 38-inch counter heights based on the intended users.

Applications

Support routine handwashing and cleaning

Portable stations can keep handwashing supplies close at hand in locations that need flexible placement. Some models include soap and paper-towel dispensers, while others provide heated water on demand or hot-water faucet operation.

Additional Information

Water and plumbing options

Choose self-contained or plumbing-connected operation

Self-contained portable sinks are designed to provide handwashing without a permanent plumbing connection. These models use separate clean-water and wastewater tanks. A plumbing-connected portable sink connects to building water and drainage systems and can be moved for temporary needs or installed as a fixed fixture when completed in accordance with local plumbing and building codes.

  • Self-contained options use 5-gallon non-potable clean-water tanks and up to 6-gallon wastewater tanks.
  • Tankless water heaters on select models warm water on demand.
  • One plumbing-connected option includes removable casters and a stainless steel basin.
Size, operation, and upkeep

Compare height, controls, and maintenance features

Counter height can help match a sink to its intended users: a 26-inch counter is positioned for young users, while 38-inch counters are intended for adults or older children using a step-up stool. Depending on the model, useful operating features include foot-pedal activation, paddle-operated hot-water faucets, integrated dispensers, cord management, and connectors that help prevent clean- and wastewater tanks from being switched.

  • A hot and cold water station offers foot-pedal operation and removable tanks.
  • A stainless steel station has a 5-gallon fresh-water capacity supporting approximately 35 hand washings per fill.
  • Replacement clean-water and wastewater tanks help maintain compatible portable sink units.
  • A mobile cart with a 60-inch hose and funnel helps fill and transport a compatible sink tank.
