Small utility sink?

[nissan_crawler]

I'm looking for a small utility sink (plastic or stainless), preferably not bigger than 15"x15", but it would be nice if it was 12" or so deep. I haven't been able to find anything, any ideas?

Have you searched for a "bar" sink commonly used for home wet bars?

Also, somtimes these type of sinks are used in laboratories --- maybe industrial supply house...

 

[nissan_crawler]

yeah, but bar sinks are usually 5-6" deep, hoping for more. If worst comes to worst, I might buy a poly water tank and cut the top off and use it for a sink.

One option is to make one.
I once made a custom sink for a darkroom using 3/4" exterior plywood covered with a couple layers of fibreglass mat and polyester resin. It held up well for over five years. If I were to do it again, I'd look into using something like West system epoxy.

You can probably get what you're looking for locally from a commercial plumbing supply house. Restaurant suppliers would also have access to custom fabricators.

Just Mfg. is a company that we use from time to time with good results.

i was just at a locally run habitat for humanity resale shop here in MI. They had a large variety of used sinks for cheap, you might want to see if they have a similar operation near you. Local recyclers also run used goods operations. My 3 car garage is being built now and I think these places will be great for outfitting numerous components cheaply

sounds like a small laundry sink, plastic, deep, stands on four legs. I used to see them in adds all the time at home building stores?

 

[nissan_crawler]

laundry sinks are too big, even the small ones I've seen. I'm trying to do this cheaply, but may have to settle with buying a $100 unit.

I had the same problem, looking for a deep small sink and just couldn't find what I was looking for in a reasonable price range. I ended up buying an inexpensive bathroom cabinet/sink combo- not deep but at least gives me a sink for cheap until I find the right tub.

I took roberts advice and bought this sink: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSAA:US:11&Item=170277436184

Hopefully it'll never get used, but it seems good practice to have one in a shop.

It's a little bigger than you asked for, but I installed a stainless 20x20x10-inch deep sink in the laundry room. Installed in with a vanity counter top and cabinet underneath (laundry room also has a commode in it, so it's an additional bathroom). That big really allows us to get some big things in there to clean, plus while I'm washing my greasy hands, I can wash them down in the sink, keeping splash and grime off the walls, etc.

I got the sink at Home Depot. I also drilled an additional hole in the flange by the faucet ports to run a kitchen sink sprayer.

I like the bigger utility tub type, they are about 15$ or so at box stores. I modify them to use a single handle kitchen faucet. I have 2 in my shop, even tossed one and put in new when it was difficult to clean. This one is on the far side of the shop, keeps a lot of the traffic out of the regular bathrooms.

 

[kbs2244]

I have done it sberry's way.
I chuck out the supplied legs and build a sturdier 2x4 and plywood box for a stand.
I like to have hose threads on the faucets, one hot and one cold, and about 12 inch long hoses dropped into the sink.
I keep a 2 gal plastic pail underneath for jobs that need some soaking.

 

[sberry]

As I said, I have 2 of them, one in the main traffic flow, super convenient.

 

[nissan_crawler]

Like I said, I couldn't use a utility sink that size. Honestly, the one I got is still bigger than I wanted, but with the backsplash, and the faucet and drain included for $65 shipped, I couldn't say no.
