Compartment Sinks with Drainboards
Drainboards are the flat, sloped stainless landing areas attached to one or both ends of a compartment sink: the soiled-ware side stacks dirty dishes ahead of the wash bay, and the clean side lets sanitized items air-dry and drain back toward the bowls. Inspectors commonly expect adequate drainboard space on a manual warewashing sink, and air-drying (rather than towel-drying) is the sanitary standard, so most kitchens choose at least one drainboard — and a dual (left & right) setup where space allows, to keep dirty and clean ware fully separated. Pick the side based on your workflow and plumbing: soiled ware should enter from your scraping station and clean ware should exit toward storage. Longer drainboards hold more, but add to the sink's overall length, so measure the wall run first.
These compartment sinks include drainboards — landing space for soiled ware on one side and clean, drying ware on the other. Filter by side, bowl count, and size below. ← All Commercial Compartment Sinks
About this data
Last verified: August 2026. Specs are compiled from manufacturer spec sheets and authorized dealer listings; where a value isn't published we leave it blank rather than guess.
Methodology: every compartment-sink model is compared on the same set of specifications, and dimensions are checked (for sinks, overall width must exceed the combined bowl widths) — figures that fail validation are corrected from the manufacturer model number or omitted. “Street price” is the lowest legitimate published price we've found and can change.
Sourcing: product specs come from the manufacturer; regulatory statements link to the source (e.g. the FDA Food Code and NSF). Code requirements vary by jurisdiction — confirm with the authority reviewing your plans.
