THE "STAINLESS" ARMOR SERIES BY JUST– THE MOST DURABLE LINE OF 16 GAUGE STAINLESS STEEL SINKS Just Manufacturing (Franklin Park, IL) specifying engineers are modifying existing stainless steel sink specifications from 18 gauge material to 16 gauge stainless steel. Based on projected site applications and installation requirements, the trend is strong and growing. Just Manufacturing introduces their "Heavy Duty Stainless Armor Series Sinks". This new line of 16 gauge stainless steel sinks is the largest and most diverse line of true 16 gauge industrial grade, heavy duty type 304 stainless steel sinks available on the market today. The need for heavy duty industrial grade stainless steel drop- in and undermount sink products that are corrosion, impact, heat and fire resistant is apparent in high-use environments. We have also seen an increased demand for heavy duty industrial grade solutions for unsecured areas of any facility and installations that are more prone to vandalism. These are optimal applications for the "Armor Series" sinks. The Just Armor Series sinks are better suited to endure heavier impacts, elevated temperatures, and even vandalism when compared to standard "commercial grade" 18 gauge sinks. The Armor Series is the only series that offers heavy duty industrial grade solutions in both DROP-IN and UNDERMOUNT models. Just's Armor Series offers a full range of sizes. Single, double and triple compartment versions in both drop-in and undermount type. Available in four depths: ADA compliant 6½", standard 7½", deep 10½", and extra deep 12". For more durability in demanding environments, the 16 gauge Armor Series represents a 25% greater material thickness when compared to standard 18 gauge (.060" vs .048") stainless steel. All Just Sinks are fabricated in the USA from domestically milled type 304 stainless steel containing 90% recycled content.
