VSP 2018 Construction Guidelines

18.13.2 Water Pressure
Pressure required for the fresh water sanitizing rinse unless the machine is
designed to use only a pumped sanitizing rinse.

18.13.3 Conveyer Speed or Cycle Time
Conveyor speed in meters or feet per minute or minimum transit time for belt
conveyor machines; minimum transit time for rack conveyor machines; or
cycle time for stationary rack machines.

18.13.4 Chemical Concentration
Chemical concentration (if chemical sanitizers are used).

18.14 Manuals and Schematics
Provide warewash machine operating manuals and schematics of the internal
BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICES.

18.15 Pot and Utensil Washing
Provide pot and utensil washing facilities as listed in section 6.2.2.

18.16 Three-Compartment Sinks
Correctly size three-compartment warewashing and potwashing sinks for their
intended use. Use sinks that are large enough to submerge the largest piece of
equipment used in the area that is served. Use sinks that have COVED, continuously
welded, integral internal corners.

18.16.1 Prevent Excessive Contamination
Install one of the following to prevent excessive contamination of rinse water
with wash water splash:
• Gutter and drain: An across-the-counter gutter with a drain that divides
the compartments. The gutter should extend the entire distance from the
front edge of the counter to the backsplash.
• Splash shield: A splash shield at least 25 millimeters (1 inch) above the
flood level rim of the sink between the compartments. The splash shield
should extend the entire distance from the front edge of the counter to
the backsplash;
• Overflow drain: An overflow drain in the wash compartment
100 millimeters (4 inches) below the flood level.

18.16.2 Hot Water Sanitizing Sinks
Equip hot water sanitizing sinks with an easy-to-read TEMPERATURE-
MEASURING DEVICE, a utensil/equipment retrieval system (e.g., long-
handled stainless steel hook or other retrieval system), and a jacketed or coiled
steam supply with a temperature control valve or electric heating system.
