These drip-cups comprise an epoxy resin cup section into which a waste is fitted in order to provide 1½ inch B.S.P. threaded tail pipe. Wastes are included with the drip cup. Drip-cups can be bonded in with silicone sealant or epoxy resin grout.
A number of troughs are available at the sizes as detailed in the table below. These are commonly used at the rear of fume cupboard bases, especially in water wash cupboards. They are also used for mounting into worktops.

Flush-fit refers to Simmons factory-fitted sinks only
A six sided sink that is designed specifically for the school laboratory so that up to six students can each have easy access to the sink. This can be fitted as an undermount or a drop-in fitment into a worktop of any material. It can also be fitted flush into a Simmons worktop.
Two sizes and configurations of circular sink are produced.
The C-40 sink (as shown to the right mounted into a washroom worktop) is 400 mm Ø x 188 mm deep. It is hemispherical in design for an especially attractive appearance. This sink can also be used as a drop-on or drop-in type fitment.
The SC8-C sink is a small circular sink 300 mm Ø x 150 mm deep with steep sides. This sink can also be used for undermount or drop-in type fitments.
| Sink Ref. | Internal Size | Waste Outlet Pos. (see diagram) | Undermount | Drop-on | Flush-fit | Weight / kg | DWG | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SC8C | 300 mm Ø x 150 mm | Centre | 3 kg | |||||
| C40 | 400 mm Ø x 185 mm | Centre | 6 kg |
