Doug Mockett 8" Diameter Polished Stainless Steel Trash Grommet 1"H, - TM2-PSS

A Polished Stainless Steel Trash Grommet For High-Visibility Countertop Applications

This Doug Mockett TM2-PSS countertop trash grommet cuts waste disposal into the work surface itself, routing scraps and debris through an 8-inch bore opening into a bin below. The polished stainless steel finish makes it a natural fit where the hardware is meant to be seen rather than hidden.

Key Features

• Polished Stainless Steel finish delivers a bright, mirror-like surface that suits professional and high-design kitchen installations.
• 8-inch bore diameter provides a generous opening for efficient scrap and waste disposal directly through the countertop.
• 8-5/8-inch flange diameter covers the countertop cutout edge cleanly for a finished, built-in look.
• 1-inch liner depth accommodates standard countertop thickness at the cutout location.
• Stainless steel construction holds up to the moisture, food contact, and daily use a working countertop sees.

Built Into the Work Surface

A countertop trash grommet eliminates the step of walking scraps to a bin across the kitchen. Set this grommet into an island or prep counter and sweeping debris through the opening becomes part of the natural prep workflow. The 8-inch bore is wide enough to clear most food scraps, vegetable trimmings, and small waste without a second thought. A bin positioned below the countertop catches everything; the grommet handles the pass-through.

Finish That Holds Up in Plain Sight

Polished stainless steel is the right call when the grommet is going into a surface where it will read as a design element, not just a utility cutout. An island countertop, a prep station with stainless appliances, or a professional-style kitchen where hardware finishes coordinate all benefit from the mirror polish over a painted or matte alternative. Stainless steel also takes daily wiping and food contact without degrading the surface the way coated finishes can over time.

Where This Grommet Fits

This is the finish to specify when the countertop or the surrounding hardware already reads in stainless or bright metal. Kitchen designers working on professional-style or commercial-adjacent installations, cabinet shops outfitting custom islands, and homeowners building a prep-focused kitchen will find the polished finish integrates cleanly. For a countertop in a more casual or painted-cabinet setting, the other finish options in this family offer a lower-contrast alternative. The 8-inch bore and 8-5/8-inch flange are consistent across the family, so the fit specs do not change with the finish choice.
