The YLS43A is a knee-operated hand wash sink for commercial kitchens and food production areas. Knee control allows hands-free operation during shifts, reducing cross-contamination risk. Compact footprint fits into prep zones where hand hygiene compliance is mandatory.
Commercial Application
Hand washing stations must be accessible without hand contact to taps in food handling environments. Knee-operated valve eliminates the need to touch controls with soiled hands. Operators trigger water flow using knee pressure, maintaining hygiene protocol between tasks.
Used throughout service and prep periods when staff move between raw and ready-to-eat zones. Positioned at entry points to prep areas or between different production stages. Basin size accommodates forearm washing required under HACCP and food safety audits.
