Shop sink

[Muffduster]

Does anyone know where I can buy a deep tub plastic shop sink? I've looked online, but only find expensive stainless steel ones. I prefer plastic.

To whoever points me in the right direction.

I saw a plastic free standing one with legs and a faucet + hose for like $75 at my local Lowes. Unable to find it on the website at the moment though... I'd check out your local HD or lowes.

EDIT: was something like this: http://www.lowes.com/pd_72124-332-101040_0_?productId=3043363&Ntt=utility+sink&Ntk=i_products&pl=1&currentURL=/pl__0__s?newSearch=true$Ntt=utility%20sink$y=0$x=0

Here's one you can build in.

I just installed this complete unit, with the above sink, in our mudroom.

I bought a free standing unit from Lowes for 119.00

Just be aware they are hard to clean out if you wash greasy hands.

My folks had one in their basement and my Mom would tell us to go wash our "garage hands" down there instead of in the kitchen or bathroom.

Well then she would ***** a storm when she would go use that sink to clean her sweater or whatever women wash in a sink cause the sink would be all stained.
(yeah can never win... though I'm sure you guys already all know that!)

I made mine from clearance items. The sink was $15 (it needed 1 clip), the diamond plate I found at my local Restore for $10. Scrap 2x4's and counter from a job down the street.

Good grief, how can they afford to ship that for free? Doesn't seem they jack up their margins THAT much...but they must...

the legs just slip in, so it all fits into a box thats just slightly larger than the sink. and they are pretty light. i personally would build a box under it as the legs are pretty crappy and will quickly rust.

Chuck the legs, it will be falling over in short order with them. I discovered this right away with my two basin laundry sink. Set it up on the legs and one collapsed and it fell over, I removed them and threw them in the trash and build a 2x4 frame to support the sink. Its the exact same height as if it were on its own legs, but a little lower than I'd prefer, but saves having to lift buckets and heavy items very high to get them in.

One basin stays full of detergent scrib brush, and other useful items and the other basin I use. The original laundry sink faucet was **** and I finally threw it and installed a white single handle American Standard kitchen faucet with spray nozzle on a hose and a much longer spout than the original faucet.

I have a 2-1/2 gal water heater underneath it, but wished I had a much larger one, say 20 gal or so, for winter use filling car wash buckets, etc.

I use the legs but screw them down. I see these for as little as 15 dollars. They are a bit of work to keep clean, some care not to be a slob in the first place helps and at some point I put in a new one for t.hat cost. The only drawback is the hole centers are not for kitchen faucet which I like, single handle so I cut new holes and a slight mod to make it work. Use all plastic fitting nuts, can replace one in a few minutes. I dont like to bend so far so they are raised.

I've never seen a plastic sink that looks good. If I had plumbing in the garage, I'd drop the brand new stainless sink I found behind the overhead furnace in a cabinet and call it a day.

 

[what2do]

Try craigslist in your area. I found this setup including the cabinet for $180 and sink had never been used.

I've been keeping an eye on the classifieds in the paper and on-line for a sink that'll take three or four spigots or faucets. One of those old cast-iron jobs would be great. Probably still sitting in alleys across America.
