Basic Foundational Features:
Basic features must be identified, because each of the unique features, add-ons and accessories are based on these basic features.

2) Deck mounts vs. wall mount
3) Single or double hole
4) Centre dimensions of punch-out
5) Location of your water source
6. What is the primary plan of use for your pre-rinse unit?
7. What are your space restraints?
8. Do you have overhead limits?
9. How many compartments are in your sink? Will you be multitasking:
Inlets:
Unusual or unique inlets: consider inlet adapters and elbows for secure connects.
Location of water source:
Where is the water source? If the water source is in an unusual place or position: consider selecting a remote control. If the water source is deep in the sink: consider a pedal valve.
No hole-punch:
Consider selecting a front water source or retrofits.
Turbo washing:
Consider selecting a high-flow option like Big-Flo faucets which range from 17-55 gpm.
Overhead limitations:
Consider selecting a side-spray unit or low profile model that includes a swivel option, because this will offer a larger range of motion.
How Will You Use Your Unit?:
Will your pre-rinse unit be used in multiple tasks? A pre-rinse unit can be configured properly to perform a wide variety of tasks in tight spaces. Add-on faucets and spray valves are good options for multitasks.
There are a number of parts that can be selected for popular models. This guide can assist you in selecting the perfect pre-rinse sink for your needs. You can identify parts that you would like included on your rinse-sink and your sales rep can assist you in putting it all together.
