Function Description
The Galley Workstation is a premium kitchen sink system designed to be a central hub for various kitchen tasks, including washing, prepping, and serving. It integrates multiple functions into a single, highly organized space, aiming to "reinvent your kitchen" by enhancing efficiency and versatility. The system is designed for undermount installation, where the basin is installed into the cabinet before the countertop is templated. The unique design features exposed flanges (1/2" front/back, 1/4" left/right) after countertop installation, allowing specialized "Tools" to slide freely across an upper tier for seamless workflow.
The different models cater to various needs:
- Ideal Workstations: Standard workstations for general kitchen tasks.
- Work&WashStations™: Combine washing and preparation functions.
- Workstations/WashStations™ with DryDock™: Include a dedicated DryDock™ area for drying dishes or produce, enhancing functionality.
- BarStations and WashStations™: Likely designed for bar areas or smaller washing needs, offering compact solutions.

Usage Features
The Galley Workstation is designed for ease of use and maximum functionality in a kitchen environment.
- Integrated Workflow: The exposed flanges and upper tier allow for seamless movement of Galley Tools (not included in the manual but implied) across the workstation, facilitating various tasks like chopping, draining, and serving within the sink area.
- Flexible Tap Placement: The guide provides suggested tap and tap accessory placements, noting that placements are for right-hand or left-hand drain orientation.
- Undermount Installation: The workstation is installed into the cabinet before the countertop, providing a sleek, integrated look.
- Cabinet Compatibility: The system requires specific cabinet dimensions and modifications (e.g., trimming bulkheads for 11" clearance if joining cabinets) to ensure proper fit.
- Support Structure: A wood support frame (cleat system) must be constructed and installed inside the cabinet to bear the weight of the workstation, ensuring stability and longevity.
- Level Installation: Critical for proper function, the support frame and basin flanges must be perfectly level and flush with the top of the cabinet.
- Silicone Sealing: Heavy bead of silicone is applied to the untaped part of the flange during countertop installation to seal gaps.
- Tool Compatibility: The design ensures that the workstation's unique reveal (exposed flanges) allows Galley Tools to slide freely, enhancing the system's versatility.
Maintenance Features
The document provides some information related to maintenance and warranty, emphasizing the product's durability and the importance of proper care.
