The VHWR44 is a wall-mounted hand wash sink with knee-operated valve control. Constructed from 304-grade stainless steel at 6 kg unit weight. Used in commercial kitchens, food prep areas, and catering facilities where hands-free hygiene compliance is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the VHWR44 basin 304 or 430 grade stainless steel?
A: The basin, backsplash, and mounting frame are fabricated from 304-grade stainless steel. This grade provides corrosion resistance in commercial kitchen environments with frequent water and detergent contact.
Q: What is the maximum wall loading for this unit?
A: The VHWR44 weighs 6 kg empty. Wall mounting requires standard commercial kitchen wall construction (blockwork or stud with 12 mm plywood backing). No additional structural reinforcement required for single units.

A: The faucet is pre-installed at fixed height. Knee valve position can be adjusted 50–100 mm vertically during wall installation to suit operator height.
Q: Does the unit include a soap dispenser bracket?
A: No integrated soap dispenser is supplied. The 30 mm backsplash upstand provides mounting surface for wall-fixed soap and towel dispensers adjacent to the basin.
Q: What drainage connection size does the waste outlet use?
A: The basin waste outlet connects to standard 40 mm commercial kitchen drainage pipework. Waste trap and pipework supplied with unit for direct connection to site drainage.
