General Information
Single-Station Surgeon Scrub Sink
Introduction
About this Manual
A clean surgical scrub area is an essential part of any sanitary,
bacteria-free procedure. SSCI makes it easy for you to scrub up
with this top-quality Single-Station Surgeon Scrub Sink. The sink
features a 10.50-in. (26.67 cm) deep tub, a 12-in. (30.48 cm) high
backsplash, and rounded corners to prevent the accumulation of
dirt and debris.
Smooth, easy to clean radius bends are present on all interior
surfaces, and the continuous rim on three exterior sides adds
structural strength. The sink is made of Type 304 stainless steel,
features a uniform, non-glare finish, and is heli-arc welded for long
life and durability.
SSCI offers a selection of faucets and valves to suit your individual
preferences. Take your choice of knee-action or foot-pedal faucet
valves to turn water on and off without contaminating your hands.
Faucets with electronic on/off sensors are also available for even
greater convenience and control.
Every attempt has been made to insure that the information in this
manual is correct and complete. SSCI, however, always welcomes
our customer’s suggestions for improvements to our products and
associated publications.

Stainless Steel
Introduction
Cleaning and
Cleansers
Stainless steel is steel alloyed with chromium to make it highly
resistant to stain, rust and corrosion. Note: This does NOT mean
that stainless steel will never rust or corrode. Science has not yet
developed a steel which is completely stainless or corrosion
PROOF.
The type of stainless steel and finish selected by SSCI for the
single-station surgeon scrub sink is the best available for the
intended use.
The basic rule of thumb is to use the mildest cleaning agent that will
do the job effectively. After cleaning, always rinse thoroughly with
clear water, and dry completely. Frequent cleaning will prolong the
service life of stainless steel equipment and will help maintain a
bright, pleasing appearance.
Ordinary deposits of waste and fluids can usually be removed with
soap and water. More stubborn deposits or tightly adhering debris
may require harder scrubbing and possibly the use of commercial
cleaning products acceptable for use on metal surfaces. When using
any cleaning agent, rub in the direction of the polish lines or “grain”
of the metal. For high luster finishes, clean soft cloths or pads should
be used.

Page 7
Single-Station Surgeon Scrub Sink
If especially rough cleaning is necessary, use “stainless steel” wool,
nylon or plastic scrubbers. Test these scrubbers in an inconspicuous
area first to be sure they do not mar or scratch the stainless steel
finish.
Minor scale build-up and some hard water spotting may be
removed by washing with vinegar, followed by a neutralizing rinse
with clear water and a thorough drying with a soft cloth. For heavy
deposits of scale, 5% oxalic acid (use warm), 5-15% sulfamic acid,
or 5-10% phosphoric acid may be used. Always follow with a
neutralizing rinse of clean water and a thorough drying.
Deodorizing Agents,
Disinfectants and
Sanitizers
The large selection of brands and combinations of chemicals
available for deodorizing, disinfecting and sanitizing is staggering.
Select one or more agents for use in your facility only after weighing
all the benefits claimed by each product. Often this choice is made
without adequate consideration of the effects these agents may
produce on equipment or furnishings.
CAUTION: Before selecting a chemical to employ in
your facility, review label statements regarding use
with metals (stainless steel). Always consult the
chemical supplier if there are any doubts.
Avoid prolonged use of chlorides (such as chlorine bleach),
bromides, iodides and thiocyanates on stainless steel surfaces as
these chemicals will cause pitting, corrosion and metal discoloration.
Allowing salty solutions to evaporate and dry on stainless steel may
also contribute to corrosive conditions.
In summary, select chemical deodorizers, disinfectants and/or
sanitizers only after weighing all possible benefits and known
adverse effects.

Installation
Procedures
This section guides you in installing the SSCI single-station surgeon
scrub sink. If you have problems or require additional assistance,
please feel free to call SSCI Customer Service at
1-800-323-7366.
On new construction, we recommend that, prior to finishing the
wall, you exactly determine where on the wall the sink will be
located. Back up the mounting screw locations with 2” x 6”s.
On an existing wall, you may want to open the wall and install these
supports. Note: These steps are not required for masonry walls.
Use lag screws for mounting into wood, or toggle bolts for
mounting into block.
CAUTION: Unpacking and installing the scrub sink is
not difficult. The sink is not heavy, however, handling
it can be awkward for one person. We recommend
that unpacking and installation be done by at least
two people.
Un-packing and
Inspection
Parts Included
If the shipping container appears damaged in any way, contact the
shipping company immediately. Save all damaged packing materials
to assist in proving liability for damage.
Carefully inspect your scrub sink while you unpack it. If any
damage is noted, or if parts appear to be missing, call SSCI
Customer Service at 1-800-323-7366.

Determine exactly where you want the sink to be mounted. Find the
vertical centerline and decide how high above the floor you want the
rim of the sink to be (Figures 2 and 3). This is an important step as
other plumbing dimensions will be determined from these figures.
A rim height of 36 to 40-ins. (approximately 91.5 to 101.5 cm) is
usually satisfactory, however, you should select a height that you
find comfortable.
Refer to Figure 3 for faucet plumbing dimensions. Refer to the

2.Pipe in the drain line (Figure 4). Remember to leave space
under the sink for the foot or knee-activated valve as
necessary. The drain aligns vertically with the faucet, and is
about 8.75-in. (22.23 cm) out from the wall. The drain hole
is 3.5-in. (8.89 cm) in diameter.
Finish the Wall
Install the Sink
After all plumbing is complete, the wall can be finished. Be sure to
check Pre-Installation Preparation on Page 9 for information on
backing up the sink mounting screw locations (not required for
masonry walls).
1.Hold the sink in place with the faucet hole aligned with the
piping and make sure the sink is level.
2.Measure 12-ins. up from the sink rim and mark a horizontal
line on the wall. Make sure the line is level.
3.Note the location of the vertical centerline.
4.Align the top edge of the top bracket with the horizontal
line and center it on the vertical line.
5.Hold the top bracket in place, make sure it is level, and
mark the centers of the three mounting holes on the wall
(Figure 5).

under the sink rim, and mark its location on the wall.
Note: The side brackets are intended to be load-bearing
and must make firm contact with the underside of the sink
rim to give proper support.

commercial cleaning products. Always scrub in the direction of the
“grain” of the metal. Rinse with clear water and dry thoroughly with
clean, soft cloths.
Minor scale build-up and some hard water spotting may be
removed by washing with vinegar, followed by a neutralizing rinse of
clear water and a thorough drying with clean, soft cloths.
For heavy deposits of scale, 5% oxalic acid (use warm), 5-15%
sulfamic acid, or 5-10% phosphoric acid may be used. As always,
rinse with clear water and dry thoroughly with clean soft cloths.
Avoid prolonged use of chlorides (such as chlorine bleach),
bromides, iodides and thiocyanates. Never allow salty solutions to
dry on the stainless steel.
CAUTION: The warranty for this product is void if the
care and cleaning instructions provided in this
manual are not followed.
