Does this sound like your situation?

  • Commercial sink leaking under the cabinet or at faucet connections
  • Faucet not meeting Oregon health code requirements for food service
  • Mop sink or utility sink needing replacement or repair

  • New commercial space needing complete sink and faucet installation
  • Pre-rinse spray head clogged or faucet cartridges worn out

Most common causes

High-volume wear

Commercial faucets handle many times the use of residential fixtures. Valve cartridges, spray heads, and hose connections wear out faster under commercial demand.

Code changes

Oregon Food Establishment Sanitation Rules specify faucet types, water temperatures, and sink configurations for food service. Older installations may no longer comply.

Sediment buildup

Commercial pre-rinse spray heads and aerators clog faster from the scale and mineral buildup that comes with commercial water volume.

Age and corrosion

Commercial stainless steel sinks last 15–20 years, but faucet bodies, drain assemblies, and spray head connections typically fail sooner under constant use.

Commercial Sink Installation & Repair in Salem, Oregon

Commercial kitchens, restaurants, and service facilities have specific sink and faucet requirements under Oregon health and plumbing code — requirements that go well beyond residential standards.

Spectrum Plumbing installs and services commercial sinks, pre-rinse units, mop sinks, and utility faucets throughout Salem's food service, office, and light industrial sector.

Food Service Sink Requirements

Oregon's food establishment rules require:

  • Three-compartment sinks for manual warewashing, with specific compartment sizing based on equipment
  • Dedicated hand washing sinks not used for any other purpose, with compliant faucet types
  • Mop and utility sinks for sanitizer preparation and cleaning — required in food service establishments
  • Water temperature compliance: 100–120 degrees minimum at hand wash sinks; 120+ degrees for warewashing

We install to meet Marion County Environmental Health requirements and coordinate inspections.

Pre-Rinse Spray Units

Commercial kitchens rely on pre-rinse spray units at the dish station. These are high-wear items — spray heads, hose connections, and valve cartridges all fail under constant commercial use. We replace spray heads, valves, and full pre-rinse unit assemblies.

Mop Sinks & Utility Sinks

Mop sinks require a backflow preventer on the supply connection and properly sized drains. We install janitor sinks in wall-mount or floor configurations to meet code requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Do you install three-compartment sinks for restaurants?
Yes. Three-compartment sinks require specific hot water supply temperatures, trap configurations, and grease interceptor connections in many applications. We handle the complete plumbing scope to meet Oregon health department requirements.
What type of faucet does Oregon require for commercial hand wash sinks?
Oregon requires single-lever or automatic faucets on hand wash sinks in food service establishments. The faucet must supply water at a minimum of 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can you replace just the faucet on our existing commercial sink?
Yes — we replace commercial faucets on all sink types. We stock or can source replacement heads compatible with most common commercial installations.
