Solution for multi-level dwellings

Recent changes to the NZ Building Code mean the humble sink-overflow now plays a much bigger role in new dwellings and renovation projects.The latest BFS range of stainless-steel sinks from Burns & Ferrall includes a slotted design overflow with a flow rate of 15.5L per minute, meeting the latest NZ Building Code standards.

The clause, E3 2.0.2 includes the following:

Household kitchen sinks and laundry tubs that have an integrated overflow with a minimum flow rate of 0.25 l/s (15L/m) do not require additional overflow provision such as containment and a floor waste where: a) The maximum fl ow rate from the inlet tap(s) is less than the flow rate of the integrated overflow for that sink or tub, or b) The water supplies to the inlet tap(s) for that sink or tub are fitted with proprietary flow restrictors (such as cartridges) to limit the tap flow rate to less than the flow rate of the integrated overflow for the sink or tub.

These conditions allow the BFS models to be installed in single and multi-level dwellings.

The BFS range also features a modern design 15° radius for easy cleaning and can be topmounted, under-mounted or welded into a stainless bench. Currently there are 13 models of single and double bowl sinks to choose from to suit any kitchen or laundry design.
