Sinks? What are you using?

[Guest]

Plenty of questions about ovens, booths, and cabinets. What about a sink? What is everyone using to wash parts when needed? Are you using a large sink? Water hose? Post some pictures and dimensions of your sick! I'm in serious need of one so I'm looking for options.

OK... we have an immersion cleaner that sits ontop of a 30gl drum, that is used for the smaller parts. We then have a automotive parts washer. Then there is the good ole` brake / carb clean spray cans... we have an area outside where we spray & rinse off with a hose. I think that is it, although i have been known to take parts to the car wash also !!!!!

Hey Juan,
Keep your eyes open for small grocery stores going out of biz. I worked in the mead department for 10 years at a supermarket, and some of those slop sinks are really nice. They practically throw them out when they go out of biz or remodel a store.

I have a parts washer and a laundry sink. The laundry sink faucet is setup so you can attach a hose to it.

Winter, Bathtub with a towel on the floor to prevent scratching.

Summer, I use the hose.

Look up industrial auctions that liquidate businesses. They have big SS sinks for dirt cheap day in and day out.

+3 its about 24"X24"x19" stainless steel

Look for a resturant supply house or a used resturant equipment store should be able to pic up a nice large stainless sink for short money.

Curious as to what type of solvent or cleaner you guys have in the parts washers.

Hey Juan, If you see Rubbermaid Super Degreaser pick it up - I'm almost positive it the same as Industrial Purple but about 1/2 the price ($5.49 vs. $9.95).

On the bottle it says it's made by ZEP, and the last 3 numbers of the product code are the same (128).
