There is a category of commercial kitchen product that rarely appears in equipment specifications, seldom features in kitchen design presentations, and almost never receives attention in equipment procurement discussions; and yet its failure stops service cold. The commercial kitchen faucet. The pre-rinse unit at the dishwashing station. The hose reel in the kitchen wash-down area. The gas hose connector linking the cooking equipment to the building’s gas infrastructure. When these products work correctly, they are invisible. When they fail; when a pre-rinse unit loses pressure mid-service, when a gas connector develops a fault, when a sensor faucet stops responding; the operational consequences are immediate and difficult to manage around.

T&S Brass and Bronze Works, headquartered in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, USA, has spent more than 75 years building plumbing products that simply do not fail. The company’s tagline, Reliability Built In, is not a marketing phrase; it is a manufacturing commitment backed by over six million hours without a lost-time workplace accident, by the decision of the world’s best restaurant to specify T&S EverSteel stainless steel faucets for its kitchen, and by the consistent choice of leading hotel groups, hospital systems, university dining facilities, and restaurant chains across every major market to specify T&S products as the default plumbing standard for their commercial kitchen infrastructure.

T&S Brass serves commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, grocery and retail environments, hospitality properties, and convenience stores across the USA, India, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, and Latin America. With dedicated regional contacts for India and the Subcontinent and dedicated Asia support through csasia@tsbrass.com, T&S is positioned for the markets Jacio Indicius serves. Jacio Indicius is proud to serve as an authorised T&S Brass partner, bringing this American plumbing engineering standard to commercial kitchen projects across India, the Middle East, Gulf countries, the USA, and Asia.

T&S Brass; Brand Profile

The T&S Brass Product Range; Every Plumbing Point in a Professional Kitchen

Pre-Rinse Faucets; The Standard of the Commercial Dishwashing Station

The pre-rinse faucet unit is the single most frequently used plumbing fixture in a commercial kitchen dishwashing area. Every plate, bowl, glass, pot, and pan that enters the dishwasher passes through the pre-rinse station first, where food residue is rinsed off under running water before the item enters the wash cycle. In a busy restaurant processing 200 covers, a hotel dishwashing area handling banqueting service, or an institutional kitchen washing thousands of pieces per service, the pre-rinse faucet operates continuously under high mechanical demand; and its reliability is critical to the throughput of the entire dishwashing operation.

T&S Brass is the definitive name in commercial pre-rinse faucets. Their pre-rinse unit design, construction quality, and spare parts availability are the reason that T&S pre-rinse units are specified as the standard by leading commercial kitchen equipment consultants, food service designers, and procurement teams across virtually every segment of the industry.

UltraRinse; Patented Precision Rinsing and Thawing

UltraRinse is T&S Brass’s patented innovation in pre-rinse technology; a system that combines a precision-engineered spray pattern with a unique thawing capability, enabling kitchen staff to safely and efficiently thaw frozen food products using controlled water temperature and flow. UltraRinse’s patented design delivers more effective rinsing with less water than standard pre-rinse spray valves, and its thawing capability adds a food preparation function to the pre-rinse station that conventional units cannot provide. UltraRinse was recognised as a 2024 Kitchen Innovations Award winner at the National Restaurant Show.

Manual Faucets; Every Kitchen Application, Every Sink Configuration

T&S Brass’s manual faucet range covers the complete spectrum of commercial kitchen and foodservice sink faucet requirements; from simple pantry faucets for hand sinks through specialist configurations for wok cooking water supply, pot filling, dipperwell maintenance, and healthcare bedpan washing. The range is notable for its breadth: T&S has engineered specific faucet solutions for virtually every plumbing application that a commercial kitchen, healthcare facility, or food service environment encounters.

Sensor Faucets; Touch-Free Hygiene for Every Environment

Hands-free operation at hand wash sinks is increasingly a specification requirement rather than a premium feature; driven by food safety regulations, healthcare infection control standards, and the general awareness that touch-based faucet handles are among the most bacterially contaminated surfaces in any food service or healthcare environment. T&S Brass’s sensor faucet range addresses this requirement across multiple product families, from the utilitarian ChekPoint foodservice sensor through to the premium WaveCrest and LakeCrest hospitality sensor collections.

Glass Fillers; Bar and Beverage Service Precision

Glass fillers are a specialist product category that addresses one of the most visually prominent water delivery points in a hotel bar, restaurant bar, or beverage service area; the glass filling station where bartenders and beverage servers fill water glasses and beverage containers. A glass filler that delivers inconsistent flow, requires excessive manual operation, or drips between pours creates a noticeable service inefficiency in high-volume bar environments.

• Standard Glass Fillers: deck or wall mount; push-down operation; controlled flow rate for consistent glass filling; EverSteel and standard brass construction options
• Sensor Glass and Bottle Fillers: hands-free sensor activation for touchless glass and bottle filling; automatic shut-off; ideal for self-service beverage stations, hotel lobby water stations, and bar environments prioritising hygiene
• Equip Glass Fillers: value-positioned glass fillers for cost-sensitive bar and beverage service installations
• EverSteel Glass Fillers: all-stainless construction for high-use environments and corrosive wash-down areas

Handwashing Stations; Complete Hand Sink Solutions

T&S’s new line of hand sinks integrates the company’s manual and sensor faucet expertise into complete handwashing station units; providing a self-contained, ready-to-install handwash solution that combines sink, faucet, and mounting in a single product. Available with genuine T&S manual faucets or T&S sensor faucets pre-installed, the hand sink range simplifies specification and installation for food service designers and contractors.

• Hand Sink with Manual T&S Faucet: stainless steel hand sink unit with T&S pantry or wrist blade faucet pre-installed; NSF-compliant; wall-mount; suitable for restaurant, institutional, and healthcare kitchen hand wash positions
• Hand Sink with T&S Sensor Faucet: same stainless steel sink unit with ChekPoint sensor faucet for touchless operation; ideal for food safety-critical hand wash points
• Portable Stainless Handwashing Stations: self-contained portable units with integrated water supply; suitable for outdoor catering, temporary food service installations, and events where permanent plumbing is unavailable

Washdown Solutions; Hose Reels, Washdown Stations & Water Guns

Commercial kitchen washdown at the end of service; cleaning cooking equipment, floor surfaces, walls, and food preparation areas with high-pressure hot water; is one of the most water and time-intensive cleaning operations in any professional kitchen. The quality and reliability of the hose reel system determines how efficiently this operation can be conducted and how much water is consumed in the process. T&S Brass’s washdown solution range addresses every aspect of kitchen washdown infrastructure.

Appliance Connectors; Gas Hoses & Safe-T-Link Connections

The gas hose connector between the building’s gas supply and a commercial cooking appliance is a safety-critical component that operates continuously under gas pressure in the high-temperature, high-moisture environment of a professional kitchen. A gas hose that fails; through fatigue, corrosion, mechanical damage, or connection failure; creates an immediate gas leak hazard in an environment where ignition sources are present at every cooking station. T&S Brass’s gas appliance connector range is engineered for the reliability and safety standards that commercial kitchen gas infrastructure demands.

• Safe-T-Link Gas Connectors: stainless steel corrugated gas connector hoses; ANSI Z21.69 certified; available in straight and coiled configurations; yellow-coated versions meeting ASME A13.1 standard for identifying flammable and oxidising materials; multiple lengths and connection sizes
• Standard Appliance Connectors: straight and coiled stainless braided gas connectors for commercial appliance gas connections; certified construction; multiple length and end-fitting configurations
• Water Connectors: braided stainless water supply connectors for commercial kitchen water supply connections to equipment
• Appliance Connector Parts: replacement fittings, end connectors, and service parts for T&S appliance connector installations

Waste Valves; Controlled Drainage for Commercial Kitchen Sinks

T&S waste valves provide the controlled drain opening and closing mechanism for commercial kitchen sinks; available in manual lever-operated and foot-pedal configurations that allow hands-free sink draining in food service and healthcare environments. NSF-certified construction ensures hygiene compliance at every drainage point.

EverSteel; The Stainless Steel Line for the Demands of the Most Serious Kitchens

EverSteel is T&S Brass’s all-stainless steel product family; a line designed for commercial kitchen and food service environments where the combination of constant moisture, aggressive cleaning chemicals, high ambient temperatures, and continuous mechanical use creates corrosion conditions that standard brass construction cannot withstand over its intended service life. EverSteel products replace brass bodies, connections, and components with stainless steel throughout; delivering corrosion resistance that justifies the EverSteel premium investment through dramatically extended service life and reduced replacement frequency.

The world’s best restaurant’s decision to specify T&S EverSteel for its kitchen; documented in T&S’s published case study; is the most compelling reference for EverSteel’s performance credentials in demanding food service environments. EverSteel products are available across pre-rinse units, low-profile pre-rinse units, manual faucets, glass fillers, laboratory faucets, and parts and accessories.

T&S Sustainability; Where Blue Meets Green

T&S Brass’s sustainability programme; branded Where Blue Meets Green; addresses the water conservation opportunity that commercial kitchen plumbing products represent. A commercial kitchen’s daily water consumption is significantly influenced by the flow rates of its pre-rinse spray valves, the efficiency of its hand wash faucets, and the washdown practices enabled by its hose reel systems. T&S provides documented water and energy savings calculators for its low-flow pre-rinse spray valves and low-flow aerators, enabling kitchen operators to quantify the sustainability impact of T&S product specifications.

• Low-flow pre-rinse spray valves: T&S’s NSF-certified low-flow spray valves deliver the cleaning performance of higher-flow valves at significantly reduced water consumption rates; contributing to LEED certification points and reducing water utility costs
• ChekPoint Hydro-Generator sensor faucets: sensor faucets that need no battery and no electrical power supply; generating operating power from the kinetic energy of flowing water; no battery waste, no electrical infrastructure requirement
• LEED-contributing products: multiple T&S products qualify for contribution to LEED Water Efficiency credits in green building certification projects
• Online calculators: T&S provides online pre-rinse spray valve and low-flow aerator water and energy savings calculators at tsbrass.com for precise project-specific savings quantification
