Wall-Mount Hardware Included: Comes complete with hangers and brackets to ensure a secure, stable fit against your wall studs.
Inside the Feature
When looking at stainless steel specs, you will often see the term '18/8.' This refers to the percentage of chromium and nickel added to the steel alloy. Think of it like a protective shield: chromium provides the hardness and scratch resistance, while nickel provides the luster and vital protection against rust. In a laundry environment where bleach and harsh detergents are common, this specific ratio acts like an invisible barrier, ensuring that the chemicals don't 'pitting' or eat away at the metal surface over time. This makes the WHNC3120 far more resilient than standard entry-level utility basins.
Installation Guide
Verify that your wall studs are correctly positioned to support the weight of a 16-gauge steel basin before mounting the brackets.
Ensure the wall-mounted faucet plumbing is set at a height that allows for comfortable reach into the deep utility bowl.
Apply a bead of silicone sealant along the back edge of the sink where it meets the wall to prevent water from seeping behind the unit.
Use the included heavy-duty hangers to level the sink perfectly, ensuring the drainage grooves work as intended.
Care & Maintenance
Rinse after use: Always rinse the basin after using harsh cleaning agents or bleach to protect the finish.
Avoid steel wool: Use nylon scrubbing pads rather than steel wool to prevent leaving iron particles that could cause surface rust.
Wipe dry: To prevent water spots or mineral buildup, wipe the sink down with a soft microfiber cloth after your final use of the day.
Follow the grain: When cleaning with a stainless steel polisher, always rub in the direction of the brushed finish lines.
Clear the drain: Periodically check the 3 1/2-inch drain assembly for debris to maintain the high-speed drainage provided by the bottom grooves.

Beyond the Technical Specs
Investing in a Whitehaus utility sink is about more than just finding a place to do laundry; it is about bringing commercial-grade reliability into your daily routine. The Noah’s Collection is renowned for using 304-series stainless steel, a material favored in professional kitchens and laboratories for its non-porous and hygienic surface. Over the course of a decade, while lesser sinks might succumb to pitting, staining, or structural warping, the WHNC3120 maintains its integrity. This long-term reliability translates to a lower total cost of ownership, as you won't be looking for a replacement after a few years of heavy use.
Furthermore, the environmental impact of choosing a high-quality steel sink should not be overlooked. Stainless steel is 100% recyclable, and because this sink is built to last for decades, it stays out of landfills far longer than plastic or thin-gauge alternatives. The efficiency of the four-way drainage system also means less water and effort are required to keep the basin clean, reducing your daily maintenance time. By choosing a brand with over 20 years of experience, you are opting for a product that has been refined through feedback from thousands of North American installations, ensuring that every detail—from the sound pads to the bracket strength—is optimized for real-world performance.
Why Choose This Sink?
Commercial Strength: Built to the same standards as professional laundry facilities, ensuring a lifetime of residential use.
Space Efficiency: The floating design is perfect for modern utility rooms where every inch of floor space counts.
Thermal Shock Resistance: Safely handles extreme temperature shifts from boiling water to ice-cold rinses without warping.
Low Maintenance: The 304-grade steel and integrated grooves minimize the effort required to keep the sink hygienic and dry.
