FAQs

How do I know if this strainer plug will fit my sink?

The strainer plug has an 80mm diameter, which is standard for most kitchen sinks. It also features an adjustable height to accommodate different sink depths.

How often should I clean the strainer plug?

It is recommended to clean the strainer plug daily or after each significant use to prevent debris buildup and maintain efficient drainage. Emptying the basket can be done as needed.

Can I use this strainer plug in a bathroom sink?

While the 80mm diameter might fit some larger bathroom sinks, this product is specifically designed and optimized for kitchen sink drain sizes and typical kitchen debris.

What material is the strainer plug made of?

The strainer plug is made from durable, corrosion-resistant galvanized steel.

How does the adjustable height feature work?

The adjustable height is achieved by a mechanism that allows you to screw or unscrew the main body of the strainer, effectively raising or lowering its position within the sink drain for a secure fit.

Will this prevent small particles from going down the drain?

Yes, the precision-designed strainer top is intended to capture food particles and other debris effectively while allowing water to flow through.

Troubleshooting

Water not draining effectively.

Ensure the basket is not completely full of debris. Remove and clean the basket. Check that the strainer is seated correctly and the height is not preventing water flow.

Strainer plug is loose.

Readjust the height mechanism to ensure a tighter fit. Check that the sink drain opening is a standard size compatible with the 80mm diameter.

Debris is escaping around the strainer.

Verify the strainer is fully inserted and properly seated. Ensure the adjustable height mechanism is creating a good seal.

Galvanized steel shows signs of rust or discoloration.

This is typically superficial on galvanized coatings. Continue regular cleaning. Avoid prolonged contact with highly acidic or alkaline substances. If significant corrosion occurs, consider replacement.
