Sink Strainers
In our homes, Sink Strainers are used as drain covers in sinks, showers and bathtubs.
Without using a Sink Strainer, deposits and other stray items in the line can cause blockages within the drainage system . Due to the velocity of the water pushing them, they can severely damage or clog devices installed in the flow stream of the water line.
A strainer is essentially a screen installed to allow water to pass through, but not larger items. The larger items fall to the bottom or are held in a basket for later clean out.
Strainers come in several different styles based on the needs. Our plate style strainers is the simplest, in which water flows through a perforated plate. Often the plate is corrugated shape to increase surface area.
