A basin, in the context of plumbing and bathroom fixtures, typically refers to a bowl-shaped container that is used for washing hands, face, and other small tasks. It is commonly found in bathrooms and is also known as a sink. Basins come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, including porcelain, ceramic, stainless steel, or other materials.
A basin typically has a drain at the bottom that connects to the plumbing system to remove used water. It may come with one or more faucets or taps for supplying both hot and cold water. Some basins are designed to be mounted on a countertop, while others are integrated into bathroom vanities or cabinets.
