Britex Compact Knee Operated Hand Basin

Maintaining hygiene in busy commercial kitchens and food preparation areas has never been easier thanks to the Britex Compact Knee Operated Hand Basin. Designed for hands-free operation, this basin ensures the highest standards of cleanliness while delivering durability and practicality.

Whether you run a busy restaurant, a catering business, or a large-scale food production facility, this hand basin is engineered to make hygiene simple, safe, and highly effective.

Hands-Free Operation for Maximum Hygiene

Traditional hand basins require the use of hands to turn taps on and off, which can spread germs and bacteria across surfaces. The Britex knee-operated design eliminates this risk entirely. By using a heavy-duty knee valve, users can activate the water flow without touching any part of the basin with their hands.

This hands-free operation is not just a convenience—it’s a critical measure in preventing cross-contamination. In food preparation zones, where cleanliness directly impacts product safety, a knee-operated basin helps ensure that hygiene practices are consistent and reliable.

Built for Food Prep Standards

Every component of the Britex Compact Knee Operated Hand Basin is designed to comply with stringent food preparation standards. The basin is manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel, renowned for its corrosion resistance, durability, and hygienic properties. Stainless steel surfaces are easy to clean and disinfect, ensuring that your workspace remains safe for food handling.

The basin also features chamfered corners, reducing the risk of injury in fast-paced environments. The 50mm blade upstand to the rear protects walls from splashes, maintaining both cleanliness and structural integrity.

Smart Design for Everyday Use

Beyond hygiene, the Britex knee-operated basin is designed for practical, everyday use in demanding commercial environments. The 11-litre bowl capacity is ideal for repeated handwashing, allowing staff to clean hands thoroughly without the need for constant refilling.

The heavy-duty operating valve is built to withstand the pressures of frequent use, ensuring the basin continues to function reliably over time. And because the system is fully mechanical with no electrical connections, installation and maintenance are simpler, and there’s no risk of electrical hazards.

Easy Installation, Ready to Use

Time is a valuable resource in busy operations, and the Britex hand basin saves you both effort and time. It comes pre-plumbed and ready to install, complete with a 40mm waste outlet and a goose-neck spout. Concealed wall brackets provide a sleek, secure mounting solution, allowing the basin to integrate seamlessly into your space.

Whether you are retrofitting an existing area or setting up a new facility, the pre-plumbed design reduces installation time, minimizes disruption, and ensures that your handwashing station is fully compliant from the moment it’s installed.

Durability Meets Safety

Safety is just as important as hygiene. The Britex Compact Knee Operated Hand Basin is constructed with long-lasting materials and thoughtful design features to protect both staff and your facility. The chamfered edges prevent injuries from accidental knocks, while the stainless steel construction resists rust and damage, even in high-moisture environments.

The basin’s heavy-duty valve and robust mechanical components ensure reliable operation for years, making it a cost-effective investment in workplace safety and hygiene.
