Anyone know a source for one of those commercial free standing SS sinks? I don't have a ton of room so I'm just looking for a single tub one mayb with a bit of a side table. Haven't seen anything on kijiji, wondering if anyone knows somewhere that may deal in used restaurant equipment?

There's a place in Dartmouth on Lakecrest Dr. by Main St., "Metro Food equipment". You've probably seen their ads on kijiji. Every time I ask them a question they dodge it and tell me to call for more information which is so annoying because they could have just typed me an actual answer and I'm usually at work and rather not talk on the phone.

P.S.: I want one too!

There is also a used restaurant place in Truro . Red Light iirc.

Don't go there...

Russell food equipment and Big Erics get used stuff in every once and a while. You pay a premium over kijiji though. Also check out Advantage food equipment on Mount Hope. They have a yard and a warehouse with some.

I found myself one for my laundry room years ago at the metal recyclers in Dartmouth. Paid $30 for it! Check them out, there is also one on Simmonds drive, and one on Chain lake Drive.

What?! That's nuts. Thanks for the heads up about these guys. We'll be in the market for one of these sinks when we build our garage / homebrewing palace of wonderfulness and beer.

Yeah, I've seen some pretty pieces of SS kitchen gear at the Ross recyclers in Bayers Lake.

I bought a bunch of chairs and table from Metro Food Equiptment, I think. If is the company I am thinking of, then I found them fair and helpful.

There are three or four double stainless sinks on Kijiji right now for $50.

I'll have to check them out. I've seen the SS kitchen sinks, but I'm looking for the larger/deeper freestanding commercial style. (like a laundry sink, but SS).

Whats a reasonable price for one of these used? (single basin) Something to judge what kind of deal these places are.

So to update, didn't have much luck finding a deal on a used sink. Ended up picking up a 18x21" one from Russells Foods new for more then i really planned to spend ($350), but I became convinced I needed one...

Having a big sink near by has made a big improvement for me, should have done it sooner. I also added a hot water spigot to use for hosing down my kettles.

That's nice. I just saw this on kijiji today and I might call them about some of the gear.

Some nice stuff there. If I had more room I'd defiantly want a double and/or one with a drain board. There are some double or larger used ones around (or was atleast)

Nice Job Allan. Looks awesome. Must make cleaning a breeze!

Nice. Did this come with the faucet & sprayer $350?

Unfortunately not. Faucet/Sprayer was off ebay for ~$200 w/shipping as I recall. The faucet is by far the best part though, its not the highest quality Ive seen (but the quality ones are $400+ so I guess you get what you pay for).

Theres more options out there for sinks if you have more room to play with.

Yeah, those sprayers are expensive as hell..I was going to say that is a pretty sweet deal if it came as a unit!

Link to sprayer on ebay?

Bit more expensive then I thought ($240 in hand). They're cheaper if you don't want the regular faucet attachment.

Don't make the mistake I did, get the install fittings also (not as easy to find as you might think!)

I should also mention, I found the 20" riser put the faucet way too high (likely due to the regular faucet accessory). I ended up getting 6" taken off off it, I believe they also sell shorter ones right off the bat tho.
