What is a Kitchen Sink Strainer?

The sink strainer will catch any food waste rather than being washed down the plughole and blocking your waste pipes and stopping costly plumber bills to unblock the pipes. The strainer is easy to use just place over the plug and the small gaps will allow the water to go through but catches the waste. A Kitchen Basket Strainerreplaces the plug so you don’t have to worry about losing the strainer.

The Basket Strainer will come with all the parts you need to replace the plug including the strainer, washer and nuts to put the strainer into place. Installing a strainer is an easy plumbing task and will take a couple of hours. The kitchen sink strainer provide the waterproof connection between the sink and the drain pipe. To install the kitchen sink strainer you will need the sink strainer, putty, a pipe wrench and needle nose pliers. The putty assists in waterproofing the strainer to the sink. The kitchen sink strainer is very easy to maintain but over time a leak may develop between the sink and the strainer.

The sink strainer can become stained or discoloured. Always clean the sink after use so its not building up excess food and give some extra attention to the sink strainer. If your drain starts to emit an odour clean the strainer as well as the drain. Just clean the strainer with soap and water.
