FAQs

Is this suitable for a sink with an overflow?

No, this product is specifically designed for kitchen sinks that do not have an overflow outlet.

What is the diameter of the flange?

The flange diameter is 113mm.

Can I use this for a bathroom sink?

No, this is designed for 1 1/2 inch kitchen sink plumbing and would likely be too large for standard bathroom basin waste pipes.

How do I prevent the stainless steel from spotting?

Rinse the strainer after use and dry it periodically with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.

Is the 41mm screw included?

Yes, a 41mm long fixing screw is included with the product.

How often should I clean the strainer?

It is recommended to clear the strainer daily after cooking or washing dishes to maintain optimal drainage flow.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking from underneath the sink basin.

Check that the fixing screw is tightened sufficiently and ensure that the rubber gaskets are correctly aligned and not pinched.

The basket is difficult to remove or replace.

Inspect the center post for any trapped debris or lime scale buildup. Clean the area with a mild descaling solution.

Slow drainage from the sink.

Remove the basket strainer and clear any food debris caught in the mesh. If the issue persists, check the pipework below for further blockages.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable stainless steel materials for long-lasting use
  • Effective at capturing food waste to prevent pipe clogs
  • Easy to clean thanks to the removable strainer design
  • Compatible with most standard 1 1/2 inch kitchen plumbing
  • Straightforward installation for DIYers and professionals

Cons

  • Not suitable for sinks with integrated overflow systems
  • Requires proper sealing during installation to prevent slow leaks
  • Stainless steel can scratch if abrasive scrubbers are used

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup and Compatibility

Before beginning installation, ensure your sink is of the non-overflow variety. Align the waste unit with the sink hole and apply plumber's putty or a silicone gasket if recommended for your sink material. Insert the 41mm fixing screw through the center of the basket strainer and tighten it into the waste body until secure. Ensure the rubber seals are positioned correctly to prevent leaking. Test the seal by filling the sink halfway with water and observing the area underneath for moisture.

Care Instructions

Regular maintenance is essential for longevity. Remove the basket daily to clear trapped food scraps. Use a non-abrasive sponge and mild dish detergent to clean the stainless steel surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or steel wool, as these can dull the finish or damage the metal surface over time.
