mop sink

Floor-cleaning water source

A mop sink is a large, deep basin mounted low to the ground or set into the floor, designed for filling mop buckets and disposing of dirty water.

Standard in commercial buildings, restaurants, and janitorial closets, mop sinks typically have a high faucet to accommodate bucket filling and a strainer to catch debris: The custodian dumped the gray water down the mop sink.
