FAQs
Will this fit a ceramic Belfast sink?
This unit is designed for standard kitchen sinks with an overflow; please verify that your sink has the correct overflow hole configuration before installation.
Can I use harsh chemical drain cleaners with this?
It is recommended to avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the finish and potentially degrade the internal seals.
Is the black finish prone to fading?
The finish is durable but should be maintained with non-abrasive cleaners to keep it looking like new.
Does it come with all the necessary washers?
Yes, the product includes the necessary seals and gaskets required for a standard installation.
What if my sink does not have an overflow?
This specific model is designed for sinks with an overflow. If your sink lacks one, you should use a non-overflow waste strainer instead.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the base of the strainer
Ensure the gasket is seated correctly and that the unit is tightened sufficiently using plumber's putty for a watertight seal.
Overflow is not draining properly
Check the overflow hose for kinks or blockages; ensure the overflow connection point on the strainer is fully clear.
Strainer basket does not hold water
Inspect the rubber seal on the basket strainer for debris or wear; clean the seat inside the drain to ensure a perfect fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the iflo strainer waste is straightforward, requiring standard plumbing tools such as a basin wrench and appropriate plumber's putty or silicone sealant. Ensure that the overflow pipe is securely connected to the designated port on the unit to prevent leakage. For care, avoid using scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh acidic cleaning chemicals, as these can degrade the black finish. Simply wipe down the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its appearance.
