DRAIN FLOW
DRAIN MODEL # I.P.S. DRAIN FLOW
K-6 (Basket Type)1-1/2"7 gpm
K-5 (Twist)1-1/2" 7 gpm
K-15 (Twist)2" 15 gpm
GREASE TRAP SIZING
Grease Trap sizing is determined by the total volume of water that will drain from a sink unit in one minute.

SIZE IN POUNDS = 1.50 x number of compartments x drain flow.
1.50 = 75% Volume of Sink x 2 (K Factor of Volume to weight)

SIGNIFICANT NSF REQUIREMENTS FOR SINKS
  • Drainboards, when provided, must have a splash and must be integrally welded to the sink.
  • Drainboards are to be sized such as that the LEFT TO RIGHT dimension of the drainboard is equal to or greater than the SMALLER DIMENSION OF THE SINK BOWL OPENING.
  • Sinks are considered as FOOD ZONE. Therefore, ONLY 300 Series, 200 Series and Type 430 Stainless Steel are the approved materials. (Type 400 & 409 Stainless Steel are not acceptable)

CORROSION
SANITIZING GUIDE
    WHEREAS...
  1. Corrosion is rust.
  2. 430 and 304 Stainless Steel is an acceptable material for food service application.
    PROVIDED...
  1. A normal maintainance program must be in place.
  2. Normal use must be part of the criteria.
  3. Normal exposure to the environment.
    HOWEVER, be aware of the following...
  1. Well Water (Heavy Sediment).
  2. Salt Air (Coastal Conditions).
  3. High Humidity (Southern Locations).
  4. Use of Chlorinated Sanitizing Chemicals.
  5. Wet Situations (Sinks).
    THEREFORE...
  1. Specify and order only 304 Stainless Steel.
  2. A strong preventitive maintainance program.
  3. Be concerned when sinks are sold to Gulf States, Florida & Georgia.
  • Accepted practice for ware washing is 50 ppm of chlorine.
  • ** standard household bleach solution (5% chlorine) sold at local supermarkets.
  • Suggested mix = 1 oz. of bleach solution for every 7.8 gallons of water.
