Description
The CM3 Bar Sink is a compact 15L bowl designed for tight commercial workstations where bench space is limited. It’s ideal as a dedicated rinse sink at a coffee station, small bar, prep bench, caravan or kitchenette, anywhere you need a practical stainless bowl without giving up valuable benchtop space.
The universal-mount rim allows the CM3 to be installed either as an under-mount or as a drop-in (over-mount) tub, so it suits a wide range of benchtop materials and layouts. Smooth internal corners make end-of-day wipe-down quick in busy hospitality environments.
Key Features
- Compact 15L capacity – designed for tight commercial and mobile setups.
- Stainless steel construction – durable, hygienic and easy to clean.
- Universal mount rim – suitable for under-mount or over-mount (drop-in) installation.
- Smooth internal corners for faster wipe-down and better hygiene.
- Waste included – ready to plumb into new or existing setups.
Ideal Applications
For mobile food vans and custom caravan builds, the CM3 offers a practical option where councils often require a dedicated hand-wash basin or compact prep sink. Its 15L capacity and small footprint make it easy to integrate into tight cabinetry while still meeting typical health and hygiene expectations (always confirm specific requirements with your local council).
- Caravans, campervans, camper trailers & food trucks – compact stainless sink where space and hygiene both matter.
- Cafes & coffee bars – as a small rinse sink near the espresso machine.
- Commercial kitchens – compact prep benches and wash up areas.
- Bars & clubs – secondary sink for glass rinsing or prep.
Installation Notes
- Universal mount design: can be installed as an under-mount into stone and solid surfaces, or as an over-mount (drop-in) tub.
- Ensure the sink is installed and sealed according to plumbing requirements for commercial or mobile food setups.

Common Questions
What are standard bar sink dimensions?
Bar sinks used in commercial settings typically range from 300mm to 450mm wide and 300mm to 400mm deep, with a bowl depth of 150mm to 250mm. These dimensions are designed to fit within standard commercial bench configurations, which commonly run 600mm or 700mm deep.
For compliance purposes, bowl capacity and drainage configuration matter as much as footprint. Sinks used for glass washing or handwashing in licensed venues may need to meet specific requirements under your state's food safety regulations or local council food premises standards.
Always confirm cutout dimensions and waste outlet sizing with your plumber or fit-out contractor before ordering. If fitting into an existing bench, measure the internal opening first—most drop-in and undermount bar sinks require a cutout 10–15mm smaller than the overall sink dimension on each side.
What is the difference between a bar sink and a prep sink?
In a commercial context, the distinction comes down to designated use and placement. A bar sink is positioned at the service point, behind the bar or at a beverage station, and is used for rinsing glassware, disposing of waste liquid, and maintaining hygiene during service.
A prep sink is located in or adjacent to the kitchen and is used for food preparation tasks such as washing produce or filling containers. While both are compact single-bowl sinks, compliance obligations can differ. In a licensed venue, a bar sink may need a separate drainage connection from food prep areas to meet food safety separation requirements.
Prep sinks in commercial kitchens are typically subject to food premises inspection standards and must be positioned within a designated food preparation zone. If unsure which applies to your fit-out, refer to your state's food premises standards or contact your local council's environmental health officer before finalising placement.
