Question 1

Can Kitco fabricate a 3-bowl sink to custom dimensions for a commercial kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kitco fabricates stainless steel sinks in single, double and triple-bowl configurations in any overall external dimension, bowl size combination, drainer position and depth. Custom sink fabrications can incorporate any number of tap holes in specified positions, splash guard panels, waste plumbing access holes and soap dispenser positions. All dimensions are agreed from your kitchen drawing and plumbing requirements before fabrication, ensuring the completed sink fits the allocated floor plan space precisely.

Question 2

Are commercial kitchen sinks required to comply with Dubai Municipality standards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dubai Municipality requires commercial food premises sinks to comply with specific drainage, overflow and trap connection specifications for DM food premises plan approval. Kitco fabricates sinks to DM specification as standard, and our technical team can produce the detailed sink drawings required for DM plan submission. This includes confirming trap configurations, drainage gradients and overflow positions that satisfy the DM drainage compliance criteria applicable to your kitchen type.

Question 3

What are knee-operated taps and why are they used in food preparation areas?

Accepted Answer

Knee-operated lever taps allow kitchen staff to turn the tap on and off using knee pressure on a lever protruding below the sink, eliminating the need to touch the tap handle with food-contaminated hands. This reduces cross-contamination risk in food preparation areas where staff handle raw proteins and then need to wash their hands without contaminating the tap surface. Dubai Municipality food safety inspectors assess hand-washing facilities in food preparation areas, and knee-operated taps in raw protein prep areas support compliance with HACCP hand-hygiene prerequisites.

Question 4

How long does a custom stainless steel sink take to fabricate in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Custom stainless steel sinks are typically produced in Kitco's Al Quoz workshop in 3 to 7 working days from confirmed order and approved drawings. Simple single or double bowl configurations can often be completed in the shorter timeframe; complex triple-bowl sinks with custom backsplash, integral shelving and multiple tap configurations may require 7 to 10 working days. Lead times are confirmed at order and Kitco coordinates delivery with your kitchen plumber and fit-out contractor.
