BK Resources BKS-1-24-14-24T 72" 1-Compartment Sink with 24" Bowl and Dual 24" Drainboards, NSF

BK Resources BKS-1-24-14-24T 1-Compartment Sink with 24" Bowl and Dual 24" Drainboards

The BK Resources BKS-1-24-14-24T is the largest single-compartment dual-drainboard sink in the BK Resources commercial sink lineup, built around one 24" x 24" x 14" deep bowl flanked by dual 24" drainboards on the left and right. Overall length runs 72" with a 29-13/16" front-to-back depth and a 43-3/4" overall height including the 9" rear backsplash. The 36" working deck height accommodates standard commercial faucets, pre-rinse units, and gooseneck spouts mounted in the 8"-on-center splash-mount layout above the bowl. The oversize 24" bowl footprint plus dual 24" drainboards configures this unit as a high-capacity prep, produce, stockpot, or auxiliary wash station for kitchens that need maximum bowl volume and full-flanking staging in a single compartment.

T-304 18-gauge stainless steel deck and bowl, galvanized 1-5/8" round legs with adjustable high-impact corrosion-resistant feet, 1-1/2" rounded front and side edges, 1/4"-pitched drainboards for proper drainage, and a basket drain (BKDR-4) included in the carton make this a true commercial-duty wash unit ready for high-volume scratch-cooking, bakery, and beverage production service. Pre-punched 8"-on-center faucet holes accept any standard 8" OC commercial faucet. NSF listed.

Best Uses for the BKS-1-24-14-24T

• Dedicated produce wash stations handling whole melons, pumpkins, large root vegetables, full cases of leafy greens, and bulk leafy-green spinning for restaurants and commissaries
• Stockpot and braising pan wash where 12" depth bowls force tipping and the 14" depth submerges 13"-tall commercial stockpots fully upright
• Bakery and pastry prep wash for full-size sheet pans (18" x 26") on a slight diagonal soak, plus 60-quart and larger mixer bowls and oversize proofing equipment
• Butcher and protein prep wash where the 24" wide x 24" front-to-back bowl accepts whole primal cuts laid flat and large brining containers fully submerged at 14" depth
• Prep-side single-compartment wash stations alongside a primary 3-compartment dish line, where the dual 24" drainboards stage soiled-in and clean-out for high-volume scratch prep without sharing the dish line
• Catering, banquet, and ballroom prep stations washing oversize chafer pans, full-size insulated transport containers, and Cambro food storage boxes on a single high-capacity bowl
• Brewery, distillery, and beverage production wash for kegs, fermentation vessels, large kettles, and oversize processing equipment where a single high-capacity bowl plus dual staging fits the workflow
• Mop sink replacements in kitchens that prefer a deeper and wider bowl for cleaning equipment, large tubs, and deck-mop buckets, where local code permits a deep-bowl sink for utility wash

Single-Bowl Workflow with Dual 24" Drainboards

The BKS-1-24-14-24T puts one 24" x 24" x 14" bowl in the center of the deck with a 24" drainboard on the left for soiled-in staging and a 24" drainboard on the right for clean-out air drying. That layout supports the standard single-bowl wash workflow used in dedicated prep, produce, stockpot, and auxiliary wash stations: dirty pans, hotel pans, stockpots, or whole produce land on the left drainboard, get scraped and pre-rinsed there or in the bowl, wash and rinse in the single compartment, then move to the right drainboard for air drying. This is not a 3-compartment wash, rinse, sanitize sink - most local health codes require a separate 3-compartment sink for primary manual ware-washing in any permitted commercial kitchen, with this single-compartment unit serving as auxiliary or prep equipment alongside that primary line.

The 24" drainboard width on each side gives meaningful staging capacity that 18" drainboards cannot match: a 24" board accepts a full-size sheet pan (18" x 26") laid flat with room for additional pieces alongside, multiple 12" x 20" hotel pans staged in a row, oversize stockpots set down without overhanging the deck, and high-stack volumes of mixing bowls or bus tubs during peak production push. Combined with the single 24" x 24" bowl in the center, the unit gives operators more horizontal working area than any 1-bowl sink under a 72" overall footprint.

24" x 24" x 14" Deep Bowl - Maximum Hotel Pan and Stockpot Capacity

The 24" bowl footprint changes what fits inside compared to 18" and 20" bowl variants. The 24" wide by 24" front-to-back by 14" deep bowl accepts a 12" x 20" full-size hotel pan laid completely flat with clearance on all sides for water circulation around the pan, two 1/2-size sheet pans (13" x 18") laid flat side by side, a full-size sheet pan (18" x 26") on a slight diagonal soak with the corners clear of the bowl walls, a stockpot up to 20" diameter standing fully upright with clearance for water flow, and large mixing bowls from 20-quart, 30-quart, and 60-quart commercial floor mixers without rotating or angling the load.

The 14" depth (vs. 12" on standard 18" bowl variants) matters for full submersion of tall items: a 12" deep bowl partially submerges 13"-14" tall stockpots, full-size hotel pans on edge, and tall mixing bowls. The 14" depth fully submerges a 12" x 20" x 4" or 12" x 20" x 6" hotel pan flat under wash water without overflowing, fully submerges a 13" tall commercial stockpot upright, and accepts brining containers, marinade tubs, and proofing baskets that exceed standard 12" depth bowl capacity. The bowl holds approximately 35 gallons of water when filled to the rim - water weight at 8.34 lb per gallon means a fully filled bowl carries roughly 290 lb of water on top of the load weight, which is why BK Resources specs the 1-5/8" galvanized legs with adjustable high-impact corrosion-resistant feet rated for the loaded weight of the 24-bowl compartment plus dual drainboards at full capacity.

T-304 18-Gauge Stainless Construction

The deck and bowl are formed from T-304 18-gauge stainless steel - the same grade used in restaurant prep tables, work tables, and food-contact equipment for its corrosion resistance and food-safe surface. The 18-gauge thickness (about 1.2 mm) is the commercial standard for compartment sinks and survives daily abuse from heavy stockpots, sheet pan corners, knife edges, and wire-bristle scrub brushes without denting or warping. The galvanized 1-5/8" round legs handle the load of a full 24-bowl compartment plus dual 24" drainboards with adjustable corrosion-resistant feet that allow leveling on uneven floors and absorb impact from delivery carts, pallet jacks, and cleaning equipment. The "TS" stainless-leg variant (BKS-1-24-14-24TS) offers stainless legs with stainless end bracing and stainless-over-plastic adjustable bullet feet for high-humidity dishrooms, brewery wash zones, butcher rooms, and chemical-splash environments where galvanized leg corrosion would shorten service life.

The 1-1/2" rounded front and side edges serve two purposes: they stiffen the deck so it does not flex under the load of a filled 24-bowl compartment plus drainboard staging, and they create a containment lip that keeps water and food debris from running off the sink onto floors or adjacent equipment during high-volume wash cycles. The 9" rear backsplash protects the wall behind the sink and provides the mounting surface for the splash-mount faucet positioned above the bowl.

Faucet Holes and Drain Hardware

The backsplash includes one set of pre-punched 8"-on-center faucet holes positioned above the bowl so a single splash-mount faucet with a swing-arm gooseneck spout serves the compartment. That accepts any standard commercial 8" OC splash-mount faucet, including pre-rinse units sized for high-volume operations, gooseneck spouts that swing across the bowl, and add-on dish sprayers. One 3-1/2" basket drain (BK Resources BKDR-4) ships with the unit. Install the drain in the bowl drain opening with plumber's putty or the included gasket and connect to a standard 1-1/2" drain trap below. A stainless steel basket drain (BKDR-4-304) is available as an upgrade if the install location runs hotter water, harsher chemicals, or longer service intervals between basket cleanouts. Lever drains are also available as an option for hands-free draining between wash cycles - particularly useful in high-volume produce-wash and stockpot-wash installs where staff cycle the bowl dozens of times per shift.

Specifications

Installation, Plumbing, and Clearance Requirements

The BKS-1-24-14-24T ships with bolt-together legs and crossbracing depending on freight configuration; check the carton on receipt before delivery to confirm. At 72" overall length and 29-13/16" front-to-back, the unit will not move through standard 36"-wide commercial doorways without tipping or angling and may not turn corners in narrow service corridors - measure the entire delivery path before scheduling freight, including service elevators, dock-to-kitchen corridors, and the final install opening. The 72" overall length also means the install location needs a clear 6-foot run of wall plus end clearance for the drainboard ends. Set the sink against a wall with the 9" backsplash flush to the wall surface, level the four adjustable feet on the floor (two legs across the front, two across the back), and confirm the deck reads level both left-to-right and front-to-back across the full 72" run before plumbing the supply or drain lines. The 1-5/8" round galvanized legs accept standard commercial undershelves and crossbraces if additional storage is desired below the deck.

Faucet supply lines connect to the splash-mount faucet body installed through the 8"-on-center backsplash holes above the bowl - run hot and cold supply lines up the wall behind the sink with shut-off valves accessible for service. The basket drain installs in the bowl drain opening with the included gasket; connect the 1-1/2" tailpiece to a P-trap and run the trap waste line to a floor drain or to the building waste stack per local code. Most jurisdictions require an indirect-waste air gap between the sink drain and the floor drain when the sink is used for food contact - confirm with the local health authority before final connection. With a 24-bowl compartment at roughly 35 gallons plus the deck and frame weight, the loaded unit places significant point loads on the four feet (over 350 lb fully filled with water plus equipment loads) - confirm the floor surface at the install location supports the loaded weight and adjust the feet on uneven slabs to keep the deck level under load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size pans, stockpots, and equipment fit in the 24 x 24 x 14 bowl?

The bowl accepts a 12" x 20" full-size hotel pan laid completely flat with clearance on all sides, two 1/2-size sheet pans (13" x 18") laid flat side by side, a full-size sheet pan (18" x 26") on a slight diagonal soak with corners clear, a stockpot up to 20" diameter standing fully upright, and 20-quart, 30-quart, and 60-quart mixing bowls from commercial floor mixers. The 14" depth fully submerges 12" x 20" hotel pans flat, 13"-tall commercial stockpots upright, brining tubs, marinade containers, and proofing baskets under wash water without overflowing during agitation. The bowl holds approximately 35 gallons of water when filled to the rim.

How much does a fully filled BKS-1-24-14-24T weigh?

The empty unit weighs 65 lb. The 24 x 24 x 14 bowl holds approximately 35 gallons of water, and water weighs 8.34 lb per gallon, so the bowl filled to the rim carries roughly 290 lb of water. Fully filled with water plus the load weight of pots, pans, and equipment in the bowl, the loaded unit can exceed 400 lb. Confirm the floor surface at the install location supports the loaded weight and that the four adjustable feet sit on a stable, level slab.

Does the BKS-1-24-14-24T meet 3-compartment sink requirements for a commercial kitchen?

No. Most local health codes require a full 3-compartment sink for primary manual ware-washing in any permitted commercial kitchen, with three separate bowls supporting wash, rinse, and sanitize cycles. The BKS-1-24-14-24T is a single-compartment sink intended for dedicated produce wash, stockpot wash, butcher prep, brewery and beverage production wash, or as a prep-side auxiliary station alongside a primary 3-compartment dish line. Confirm with the local health authority before installing this unit as anything other than auxiliary equipment.

What is the difference between BKS-1-24-14-24T and the BKS-1-1824-14-24T?

Both units share dual 24" drainboards, 29-13/16" front-to-back depth, 14" bowl depth, T-304 stainless deck and bowl, and BKDR-4 drain included. The difference is bowl size, overall length, and weight. The BKS-1-1824-14-24T has an 18" wide x 24" front-to-back x 14" deep bowl, 66" overall length, and weighs 60 lb. The BKS-1-24-14-24T (this unit) has a 24" x 24" x 14" bowl, 72" overall length, and weighs 65 lb - 6" wider bowl left-to-right (so 6" longer overall) for kitchens that need to lay 12 x 20 hotel pans flat with maximum clearance on all sides, soak full-size sheet pans on a slight diagonal, and stand 20"-diameter stockpots fully upright in the bowl.

What is the difference between BKS-1-24-14-24T (dual drainboards) and BKS-1-24-14 (no drainboards)?

Both units share the same 24" x 24" x 14" bowl, 29-13/16" front-to-back depth, T-304 stainless deck and bowl, 9" backsplash, and BKDR-4 drain included. The difference is footprint and integrated staging. The BKS-1-24-14 runs 29" overall with no drainboards and weighs 47 lb - choose that unit when wall space is limited, when adjacent prep tables or racks already provide staging, or when the workflow does not depend on integrated drainboards. The BKS-1-24-14-24T (this unit) runs 72" overall with dual 24" drainboards on left and right and weighs 65 lb - choose this when the operation needs integrated soiled-in and clean-out drainboards within the sink unit and the wall accommodates a 6-foot run.

What faucet fits the BKS-1-24-14-24T?

Any commercial 8"-on-center splash-mount faucet positioned above the bowl. That includes deck-mount commercial faucets with 8" hub-to-hub spacing, gooseneck spouts that swing across the bowl, pre-rinse units sized for high-volume operations, and add-on dish sprayers. The faucet is not included with the sink - purchase separately based on application. For 24-bowl compartments specifically, a longer-reach gooseneck or pre-rinse spout helps reach the far corners of the bowl for rinse-down.

Is the basket drain included or a separate purchase?

One standard chrome-plated brass basket drain (BK Resources BKDR-4) is included in the carton. A stainless steel basket drain (BKDR-4-304) is available as an upgrade for harsher service environments, longer service intervals, or installations where chrome plating is not acceptable. A lever drain is also available as an option for hands-free draining between wash cycles, particularly useful in high-volume produce-wash and stockpot-wash installs where staff cycle the bowl dozens of times per shift.

What is the difference between the BKS-1-24-14-24T and the BKS-1-24-14-24TS?

The "T" model has galvanized steel legs and standard adjustable feet at 65 lb. The "TS" model upgrades to stainless steel legs, stainless steel end bracing, and stainless-over-plastic adjustable bullet feet at 74 lb - the same deck, 24-bowl compartment, and dual 24" drainboards but a higher-grade chassis for environments where galvanized leg corrosion would be a problem (high-humidity dishrooms, brewery and beverage production wash zones, butcher rooms, cleaning-chemical splash zones, outdoor or covered-patio installs).

Are the drainboards pitched for drainage?

Yes. Each 24" drainboard pitches 1/4" back toward the bowl so wash water and rinse runoff drain into the compartment instead of pooling on the working surface or running off the front of the sink. The 1-1/2" rounded front and side edges contain splash and runoff inside the deck perimeter.

Will the BKS-1-24-14-24T fit through a standard 36" doorway?

The 29-13/16" front-to-back dimension passes through a 36" doorway when the unit is upright. The 72" overall length will navigate most service corridors but may need angling around tight 90-degree turns, and the 43-3/4" overall height plus crated freight height needs to clear ceiling soffits, sprinkler heads, and overhead piping along the delivery path. Measure the full path from dock to install location before scheduling freight, including service elevators, kitchen door swings, ceiling clearance, and the final install opening.

Can I install undershelves or crossbraces under the sink?

Yes. The 1-5/8" round galvanized legs accept standard commercial sink undershelves, crossbraces, and slant-rack shelves like the BK-SSH (sold separately). Undershelves add storage for cleaning chemicals, scrub buckets, glass racks, and bus tubs while keeping the deck clear for active wash work. End splashes (BKS-RES) are also available as an option to contain water at the ends of the dual drainboards in installations where the sink is not flush against side walls.

Does the sink require an indirect-waste air gap?

Most local health codes require an indirect-waste air gap between the sink drain and the floor drain or building waste stack when the sink is used for food contact. The exact air gap distance varies by jurisdiction. Confirm with the local health authority and a licensed plumber before final connection - retrofitting an air gap after the sink is in place is significantly more expensive than building it into the original install.

Is the BKS-1-24-14-24T NSF-listed?

Yes. The unit is NSF listed for commercial food-service use, which is required by most local health authorities for any sink installed in a permitted commercial kitchen, bar, or food-service operation.
