Common Questions About Commercial Plumbing Supplies

What does commercial plumbing mean?

Commercial plumbing equipment and supplies primarily encompasses the fixtures and amenities found in restrooms and food prep areas that must be connected to a building's pipes and water supply. As with other types of commercial equipment, these are manufactured to meet specific safety requirements and building codes set forward by national, state, and local rules and regulations.

When it comes to commercial businesses, foodservice operations, and community facilities such as event centers and schools, industrial plumbing supplies extend beyond the basic necessary amenities visitors expect to find in a public restroom. That includes:

• Commercial sinks, from hand wash stations and multi-compartment designs to portable and hands-free options. You'll find a variety of options for restrooms, food prep areas, beverage stations, and utility closets.
• Sink parts, such as drains, strainers, and other components that may need to be added or replaced. This also includes splash guards, drain boards, and more accessories that make a commercial sink more functional.
• Commercial faucets to pair with sinks for any application in a commercial setting. For your business, that may mean touchless faucets that provide a sanitary restroom experience, pre-rinse faucets for a dishroom, or specialty faucets for specific tasks.
• Garbage disposals that facilitate food waste removal in food prep areas, either by processing it and sending it into the sewage system or enabling the collection of food scraps.
• Drinking fountains for indoor and outdoor use, ensuring visitors have access to clean drinking water; bottle fillers enable guests to refill reusable water containers and reduce or eliminate the amount of waste generated from bottled water.

What is the difference between commercial and residential plumbing?

Commercial plumbing supplies must withstand heavier, more consistent use than products installed in residential buildings, so they're built to be more durable. Many items made for commercial use also include special features that make them safer or more sanitary, such as anti-tampering safeguards, touchless technology, and designs to make maintenance easier.
