Hot water to a service sink

Question

Is it the intent of section 607.1 to supply hot water to a service sink in a warehouse/air plane hanger for storage.

Hot water is required for a
service sink

Commentary

The code does require a service sink in storage occupancies, and it is reasonable to assume that its purpose is for cleansing or building maintenance, which requires hot water. This could be met with an inexpensive 110V tankless heater.
