Designed for Sluice Rooms & Dirty Utility Rooms
Sluice sinks, also commonly referred to as slop hoppers or hospital disposal units, are used in sluice rooms and dirty utility rooms for the hygienic disposal of liquid and solid waste and the cleaning of suitable utensils and equipment.
Our sluice sinks are manufactured from high-quality grade 304 stainless steel, providing a strong, durable and easy-to-clean surface suitable for demanding healthcare environments. Practical design features include integral flushing rims, smooth surfaces and easy-clean corners, with many models manufactured with one-piece pressed tops to minimise joints and crevices.
Top Entry or Back Entry Sluice Sink?
Selecting the correct inlet configuration is important when ordering a replacement sluice sink or planning a new installation.
Top entry sluice sinks have a flushing connection entering the unit from above and are generally used with an exposed cistern and flush pipe.
Back entry sluice sinks have the flushing connection entering from behind the unit and are typically selected where the cistern and associated pipework are concealed.
Washware Essentials holds both top entry and back entry sluice sink models in stock, together with compatible cisterns and accessories, helping you select a complete solution for your installation.
Combined Sluice Sink, Wash Bowl & Drainer Units
Where a complete working area is required, our combined sluice units incorporate a sluice sink or slop hopper, wash basin and drainer/work surface within a single stainless steel unit.
We stock different sizes and both left- and right-hand configurations, allowing the layout to be selected to suit the available space, existing services and preferred workflow within the sluice or dirty utility room.
Sluice Sinks for Healthcare Projects & Refurbishments
Whether you are replacing a single hospital slop hopper, refurbishing a care home sluice room or specifying equipment for a new healthcare development, our range provides options for a wide variety of room layouts and installation requirements.
Products can be selected with reference to relevant HBN 00-10 healthcare guidance for sanitary assemblies, and our experienced team can provide technical assistance when choosing the appropriate model, size, entry position, cistern and accessories.
