2-Compartment Sink 53"W No Drainboards, Two 24x24x14 Bowls, 18-Gauge Stainless
Two-Compartment Commercial Sink with No Drainboards (53-Inch Overall, Two 24x24x14 Bowls, Stainless Legs)
This two-compartment commercial sink fits two full-size 24 by 24 by 14 inch bowls into a 53 inch wide footprint, making it the most compact way to get full sheet-pan and stockpot wash capacity into a tight kitchen that still requires two-bay separation. Overall dimensions are 53 inches wide by 23-1/2 inches deep, and 43-3/4 inches tall to the top of the rear backsplash. The bowls, deck, and backsplash are formed from one sheet of 18-gauge type 304 stainless steel, fused and polished into a single sanitary unit. Stainless steel legs and sockets with 1 inch adjustable bullet feet keep the sink stable on uneven kitchen floors.
There are no drainboards on this model. The sink is bowl-only with the deck wrapping cleanly to the front, sides, and rear backsplash. Large radius corners both vertically and horizontally make each bowl easy to wipe down, and all exposed welds are ground smooth and polished to blend into the satin finish on the deck. Each bowl ships with a 3.5 inch drain basket included, which is unusual at this price point and saves operators the cost of buying drains separately. The unit ships NSF listed for commercial foodservice use and carries a 90-day workmanship warranty. Faucets are sold separately. This sink may be damaged during standard freight shipping, so pickup is the recommended fulfillment method.

Best Use Cases for a Two-Compartment Sink with 24-Inch Bowls and No Drainboards
- Tight prep areas where wall space is the limiting factor but two full sheet-pan bowls are still required
- Bakeries running a wash-and-rinse two-bay workflow for sheet pans and proofing tubs
- BBQ and smokehouse kitchens that need separate wash and sanitize bays for oversized racks and rotisserie hardware
- Pizzeria pre-rinse and pre-soak pairs for full-size hotel pans and 20-quart proofing bowls
- Stockpot wash and rinse stations next to a worktable in busy back-of-house
- Catering and concession trailers needing two high-capacity bowls in a compact footprint
- Commissary kitchens that need a separate two-bay dump and pre-soak station alongside an existing 3-bay warewashing line
- Buildouts where wall space is at a premium and adjacent worktables already provide staging
Why Choose Two 24-Inch Bowls Without Drainboards
The 24 by 24 by 14 inch bowl is the largest standard compartment bowl size and the right choice when staff routinely wash full-size sheet pans, full-size hotel pans, or 20-quart-plus stockpots. Pairing two of these bowls in a single sink gives a true two-bay wash-and-rinse or wash-and-sanitize workflow without sacrificing bowl capacity. The 14 inch depth lets a tall stockpot sit fully submerged with several inches of water clearance above the rim, and each 24 inch square footprint accepts an 18 by 26 inch sheet pan flat without diagonal angling.
The no-drainboard configuration trims overall length to 53 inches from the 96 inches a dual-drainboard 24-bowl variant (SS2424F21D24) would require. That is a 43 inch wall-length savings, which is often the difference between fitting a two-bay sink into a buildout and not. The trade-off is that there is no built-in landing zone for rinsed items. Plan to place this sink directly next to a worktable, a drainboard table, or a wall shelf so wet items have somewhere to go after they leave the bowls.
Bowl Capacity and What Fits in 24 by 24 by 14
Each 24 by 24 by 14 inch bowl holds approximately 35 gallons of water at the rim, or about 290 pounds of water at full capacity. With two bowls, total water capacity is roughly 70 gallons. In practical terms each bowl will accept a full-size 18 by 26 inch sheet pan flat with room around the perimeter, a 12 by 20 hotel pan flat with room for a second pan, stockpots up to roughly 22 inches in diameter, full-size 18 by 26 cooling racks, and oversized cookware that simply will not fit in an 18 inch bowl. The 14 inch depth gives enough clearance to fully submerge most sheet pans, hotel pans, and tall stockpots without water sloshing over the rear backsplash.
One-Piece 18-Gauge 304 Stainless Construction
Both bowls, the deck between them, and the rear backsplash are drawn from a single sheet of 18-gauge type 304 stainless steel. Type 304 is the standard food-grade stainless alloy and offers better corrosion resistance than 430-series stainless used on entry-level sinks. There are no welded seams along the bowl-to-deck transitions, so there is no joint for grease, soap residue, or food particles to collect in. All exposed welds at the legs and corners are ground smooth and polished to match the satin finish on the deck. Vertical and horizontal corners are formed with a 3/4 inch radius, which makes each bowl interior easier to wipe down and meets the radius-corner requirements common in NSF and local health code reviews.
Stainless Legs, Sockets, and Working Height
Legs are stainless steel at 22-1/2 inches with stainless steel sockets, an upgrade from the galvanized legs used on entry-level commercial sinks. Stainless legs handle wet floor and detergent splash environments better over the long run and resist the rust streaks that galvanized legs can develop in busy prep zones. Feet are 1 inch adjustable bullet feet that thread up and down for floor leveling.
The 22-1/2 inch leg standard puts the deck working height at approximately 33-3/4 inches off the floor with the 14 inch bowl, which is the comfortable working height for a deep-bowl wash setup. Plan adjacent worktable and drainboard table heights to match.
Faucet Holes, Drain Baskets, and Plumbing Hardware
The rear backsplash is pre-punched for deck-mount faucets on 8 inch centers behind each bowl. Faucets are sold separately, which is standard for commercial compartment sinks because operators usually have a preferred spout length, swing radius, and pre-rinse style for the application. A swing spout long enough to reach across both bowls is a common choice, or two dedicated deck-mount faucets if the workflow needs independent water control.
Each bowl ships with a 3.5 inch drain basket included, which is the standard drain size for a 24 by 24 bowl. This is a notable inclusion at this price point and saves operators the cost of buying drains separately. Lever-handle waste valves or rotary-handle drains can be added if the local plumbing code or the operator's preference requires them, but the included basket strainers will satisfy most standard installs.

Installation and Plumbing Notes
This is a freestanding floor-mounted compartment sink, not a wall-hung unit. Position the sink with at least 6 inches of clearance behind the backsplash and adjacent to a floor sink or floor drain so the waste lines can air-gap to the floor sink rather than drain directly into the building waste line. An air gap is required by most local plumbing codes for any sink used to wash food contact surfaces or food product.
Plumbing Rough-In Checklist
- Hot and cold supply lines stubbed within reach of the 8 inch faucet centers behind each bowl
- Floor sink or hub drain located within the discharge throw of the 1-1/2 or 2 inch waste tailpieces
- Air gap maintained between each waste tailpiece and the floor sink rim
- Backflow prevention on the supply side per local plumbing code
- Shutoff valves at each supply line for service access
Floor and Clearance Requirements
- Floor must be level enough that bullet-foot adjustment can compensate for variation
- Allow side clearance for elbow room and a wash bucket or trash on each end of the sink
- Allow front clearance for a worker to stand and lean into the bowls without hitting another fixture
- Plan rear clearance for plumbing service and to keep the backsplash off finished wall surfaces
- Adjacent worktable, drainboard table, or wall shelf to compensate for the missing integrated drainboards
Stage Without Drainboards
- Place this sink directly next to a stainless worktable so wet items can land on a clean surface
- Use a perforated drain pan or bus tub on the adjacent table to collect runoff from rinsed items
- Add a wall shelf above or behind the worktable for staging dry tools and prep containers
- Pair with a separate drainboard table if the prep workflow needs a dedicated drying zone
Will Call Pickup Locations
This sink is sold as will call pickup only. Standard freight carriers tend to bend or dent the backsplash and bowl rim on a two-bay unit of this size, so we limit fulfillment to local pickup at 11 US warehouse locations. Buyers within reasonable driving distance of any of these warehouses can pick up directly. Buyers outside that radius should order the BK Resources nationwide-shipped equivalent linked above.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the N in SS2424F21N stand for?
The N indicates no drainboards. The unit is bowl-only with no extended landing zone. Drainboard variants in the same series include SS2424F21D24 (dual 24 inch drainboards) and the smaller-bowl SS1818D21N and SS1818D21D18 variants.
How is this different from the dual-drainboard SS2424F21D24?
SS2424F21N is 53 inches wide with no drainboards. SS2424F21D24 is 96 inches wide with two 24 inch drainboards. Both use two 24 by 24 by 14 inch bowls in 18-gauge type 304 stainless steel. Choose SS2424F21N when wall space is tight or when adjacent worktables already handle staging.
How does this compare to the smaller-bowl SS1818D21N?
SS1818D21N has two 18 by 18 by 12 inch bowls in a 41 inch overall width. SS2424F21N steps up to two 24 by 24 by 14 inch bowls in a 53 inch overall width. Choose the 24-inch bowls when staff routinely wash full-size sheet pans, oversized stockpots, or full-size hotel pans that will not fit in 18-inch bowls.
Why does this sink have stainless legs instead of galvanized?
Stainless legs and sockets handle wet floor and detergent splash environments better than galvanized legs over the long run. They resist rust streaks that galvanized legs can develop in busy prep zones and match the food-grade alloy of the bowls. This is an upgrade over entry-level commercial sinks.
What is type 304 stainless steel?
Type 304 is the standard food-grade stainless steel alloy used in commercial foodservice equipment. It offers strong corrosion resistance against acidic foods, detergents, and sanitizers, and is the alloy specified in most commercial sink standards.
Are the drains included?
Yes. Each bowl ships with a 3.5 inch drain basket included, which is the standard drain size for a 24 by 24 bowl. This is a notable inclusion at this price point. Faucets remain sold separately.
Why is this sink will call only?
Two-bay stainless sinks are prone to bending and denting along the backsplash and bowl rim during standard LTL freight handling. Rather than ship a unit that may arrive damaged, we limit this product to local pickup at 11 US warehouses. The BK Resources equivalent is engineered for freight.
Can I drive to a pickup location from out of state?
Yes. Buyers regularly drive to the closest warehouse, especially for sink and worktable orders where freight risk is high. Confirm pickup hours and bring a vehicle large enough to accept a 53 inch by 23-1/2 inch crated unit.
What is the working deck height?
Approximately 33-3/4 inches off the floor with the 22-1/2 inch stainless legs and standard 1 inch bullet-foot extension. Adjust the bullet feet to fine tune for floor variation.
Is this sink NSF certified?
Yes. The unit is NSF listed for commercial foodservice use and meets radius-corner and one-piece sanitary construction requirements common in health code reviews.
What size faucet should I order?
The backsplash is pre-punched on 8 inch centers behind each bowl. Order deck-mount commercial faucets with 8 inch centers and a spout long enough to reach the center of each bowl. A 12 to 14 inch swing spout is a common starting point for a 24 inch wide bowl.
Can I use a single faucet for both bowls?
Yes, with a long enough swing spout. A spout long enough to swing across both bowls lets a single faucet serve a wash-and-rinse two-bay workflow. Two dedicated deck-mount faucets work better when both bowls are in active use at the same time.
What gauge is the stainless steel?
18 gauge type 304 across the entire one-piece body, including both bowls, the deck, and the rear backsplash.
How much does the sink weigh?
Net weight is 70.84 pounds and gross crated weight is 82.54 pounds. Two-person handling is recommended for plumbing connection and final positioning.
What is the warranty?
90 days on workmanship. Faucets and other separately purchased components carry their own manufacturer warranties.
Can I use this sink as a hand sink?
Two 24 by 24 by 14 inch bowls are significantly larger than a dedicated hand sink and the unit is designed for prep, rinse, and pot duty rather than handwashing. Most health codes require a separate, dedicated handwash sink in food prep zones.
