Size and height
A hand basin is 30 to 50 centimetres wide, fixed with its rim at about 80 to 85 centimetres, lower for children and wheelchair users at about 75 centimetres. Allow 60 centimetres in front for comfortable use.
Taps and sensors
Use a short single lever tap or a sensor tap in shops and clinics to reduce touching and water use. See washroom basin taps. Choose a tap that suits the basin holes.
Drainage and plumbing
Hand basins need a waste of 32 to 40 millimetres and a trap, and a supply of cold water or both hot and cold. In dining areas, choose a drain close to existing lines to save cost. Fixed plumbing should be done by a licensed plumber.
Hygiene accessories
Add a soap holder or dispenser, a mirror and a paper towel holder, and a bin nearby. In public spaces use easy-clean surfaces and good light.
Fixing
Fix wall-hung basins to solid wall with strong brackets, since users lean on them. Seal edges with silicone and test the load before use.
What to check before buying
- Size and height. Suits all users
- Tap. Short and easy
- Drain. Close to lines
- Fixing. Strong brackets
Where to place it
Place the basin near the dining area entrance or the kitchen with clear access, good light and a drain on a nearby wall. Avoid blocking passages.
Before you decide
Decide the place, size and tap, and plan the drain before choosing the basin. A good hand wash basin is used many times a day.
