78 products
Buy commercial 3-compartment sinks (three compartment sinks) online in Canada: 78 products from brands like Omcan, Winholt and ATS, most priced $840 to $4,800 CAD. A three-compartment sink gives manual warewashing its three steps in order: wash, rinse and sanitize. It is the usual setup for pots, pans and utensils in restaurants, bakeries, food trucks and commissaries, and in many kitchens it is the fallback when the dishwasher is down. Models differ in bowl size and depth, drainboard layout, steel grade and gauge, and whether the faucet and drains are included.

Before you buy
- Measure your largest stock pot, sheet pan and hotel pan and confirm each compartment is long, wide and deep enough to submerge them fully, which many health units expect.
- Choose drainboards by workflow, with one on the soiled side for scraping and stacking and one on the clean side for air drying, on the left, right or both depending on where the sink sits.
- Check the overall length including drainboards against the wall space and the distance to neighbouring equipment before ordering.
- Confirm the faucet type and centre spacing, and whether a swing spout or pre-rinse unit will reach every bowl.
- Look for lever-operated drains and coved bowl corners, which make the sink quicker to empty and easier to keep clean.
Common questions
What order do the three compartments go in?
- Work runs from dirty to clean. The first compartment holds hot water and detergent for washing, the second holds clear water for rinsing, and the third holds sanitizer mixed to the concentration on its label, or hot water where that is the approved method. Ware then air dries on the clean drainboard rather than being towel dried.
Can a three-compartment sink be used for food prep or handwashing?
- It is best kept for warewashing. Most Canadian health units expect hands to be washed only at a dedicated hand sink, and many expect produce to be washed in a separate prep sink or in a compartment cleaned and sanitized first. Your local public health unit can confirm what it accepts.
What is the difference between 16 and 18 gauge sinks?
- Gauge measures sheet thickness, and a lower number means thicker steel, so a 16-gauge sink is heavier than an 18-gauge one and resists dents from dropped pots better. The grade matters too: type 304 stainless holds up to corrosion better than type 430 in a sink that is wet all day.
