Collection: Aquamate

Aquamate is the Australian brand of stainless steel sinks, hand-wash basins, prep tables and plumbing fittings designed for commercial kitchens, healthcare and aged-care facilities. Hospitality Connect stocks the Aquamate range — single-bowl and double-bowl sinks, prep-table sinks, hand-wash basins and matching tap fittings — built to AU plumbing and HACCP standards.

What Aquamate makes

• Single-bowl commercial sinks: 304-grade stainless single-bowl sinks with integrated drainer; the working back-of-house sink standard.
• Double-bowl commercial sinks: Twin-bowl sinks for separated wash zones — pre-rinse and rinse, or food-prep and pot-wash.
• Hand-wash basins: Compact wall-mount basins for HACCP-mandated kitchen and food-handling station hand-wash.
• Prep-table sinks: Sinks integrated into stainless prep tables — see also stainless single sink bench.
• Tap fittings and pre-rinse: Wall-mount and bench-mount mixers, knee-operated taps for hand-wash and pre-rinse spray units.

Where Aquamate is used

Aquamate sinks and basins are specified across commercial kitchens, food trucks, healthcare clinics, aged-care kitchens, school canteens and government foodservice. The 304-grade stainless construction meets AU HACCP requirements; bowl gauges run 0.9–1.2mm seamless welded for years of service. Hand-wash basins are positioned at every food-handling station per the Food Standards Code; knee-operated and sensor taps are increasingly required for hands-free hygiene compliance. Aquamate's prep-table integrated sinks streamline kitchen layouts where bench space is at a premium.

Range highlights

• Aquamate single-bowl sinks (1200, 1500, 1800mm): Standard length options with left- or right-hand drainer.
• Aquamate double-bowl twin-drainer sinks: 1800–2400mm bench format for high-volume wash zones.
• Aquamate hand-wash basin (HACCP): Wall-mount stainless basin with knee or sensor tap; HACCP-compliant placement.
• Aquamate prep-table sink (1500–2400mm): Integrated bench-and-bowl unit for galley kitchens.
• Aquamate fittings: Pre-rinse spray taps, mixers and pot-fillers — the matched plumbing kit.

Aquamate's range is built to AU plumbing and HACCP standards — 304-grade stainless construction, seamless welded bowls, and matched tap fittings. Specify the bowl gauge (0.9–1.2mm) on order; budget benches commonly drop to 0.7mm and warp under load. Confirm pre-drilled tap-mount positions match your tap selection; retro-fitting tap holes is messy and compromises the bench top. For HACCP compliance, position hand-wash basins at every food-handling station per Food Standards Code; knee-operated and sensor taps eliminate hand-touch contamination. Match the pre-rinse spray unit to your dishwasher — spray pressure matters for soiled rack work. Specifier note: Aquamate sinks pair well with HACCP-mandated knee-tap or sensor-tap fittings — a hand-wash basin without a hands-free tap is essentially decorative. Include the tap and waste fittings on the order; mismatched tap mounts add to the install cost and slow off the fitout.

Why buy Aquamate sinks and fittings from Hospitality Connect

• Trade-only focus: We only sell to commercial operators and fit-out specifiers, so the range is matched to real venue requirements rather than home-cook compromises.
• AU-based stock and dispatch: Held inventory ships from local warehouses with tracked freight, including pallet rates for bulky items.
• Australian electrical and plumbing standards: Equipment supplied is configured for AU power (single or three-phase) and council compliance.
• Spare parts and after-sales: We carry common parts and connect you directly with brand technicians when service is needed.
• Honest delivery windows: If stock is on water, we tell you — no phantom lead times.

Aquamate sinks and fittings care and longevity

• Avoid chlorinated cleaners: Bleach and chlorine sanitisers pit 304-grade stainless. Use neutral pH detergents and a non-abrasive pad.
• Wipe with the grain: Always finish with the polish line — circular scrubbing creates visible marks under service lighting.
• Inspect weld lines monthly: Check seams and corner welds for hairline cracks that trap moisture.
• Mind undershelf load limits: Most economy benches rate 80–120kg total UDL; reinforced models go higher. Don't park combi ovens on lightweight benches.
• Foot levellers: Re-level annually after slab settlement; uneven feet flex the worktop and stress welds.
