The BDU1818 is a stainless steel drainboard unit designed for glassware drying in commercial bar and beverage service operations. It measures 460×470×760mm and handles continuous draining through 25.4mm drain tubing. CE certified for use in professional kitchens across UK, EU, North America and Middle East markets.
Commercial Application
Bar staff place washed glassware on the drainboard surface after manual or machine washing. Water channels to the integrated 1-inch drain outlet while the 80mm backsplash prevents wall splash during high-volume service periods. The unit fits behind bar counters or in glass washing stations.
During service hours, the drainboard provides temporary staging for air-dried glassware before polishing or immediate use. The galvanized leg structure maintains stability under repeated loading cycles. Plastic feet allow minor height adjustment on uneven floors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the drainboard surface?
A: The BDU1818 uses 304-grade stainless steel for the top surface and backsplash. This grade provides corrosion resistance in wet environments with frequent cleaning chemical exposure.
Q: What load capacity does the drainboard support?
A: The galvanized leg structure supports standard glassware drying loads typical in bar operations. Distributed weight across the 460×470mm surface prevents frame deflection during normal use. Contact TurcoBazaar for specific load testing data if required for compliance documentation.
Q: Are the legs adjustable for uneven floors?
A: The plastic bullet feet allow minor height adjustment by threading in or out of the galvanized leg sockets. Total adjustment range is approximately 10–15mm per foot. Larger floor irregularities require shimming beneath the feet.
Q: Can the backsplash height be modified or removed?
A: The 80mm backsplash is welded to the drainboard surface and cannot be removed without structural modification. Custom backsplash heights are not available on this model.
Q: Is custom sizing available for specific bar counter dimensions?
A: The BDU1818 is manufactured in fixed 460×470×760mm dimensions. Custom sizing requires minimum order quantities and extended lead times. Contact TurcoBazaar for quotations on bespoke fabrication for chain rollouts or large installations.
