Installation Tips For Kitchen Sink Strainer

The kitchen sink is equipped with an important but often overlooked component - the stainless steel strainer. Although it may seem inconspicuous, it plays a crucial role in the kitchen sink.

What functions does the kitchen sink strainer serve in the sink?

The kitchen sink strainer, located beneath the kitchen sink, is primarily used for the drainage and disposal of wastewater. When we wash food or utensils in the sink, the wastewater flows into the strainer through the drainpipe. It guides the wastewater out of the sink and captures solid residues in its filter, preventing them from entering the drainage pipe and causing blockages.

Why is a kitchen sink strainer so important?

Firstly, it helps to maintain hygiene and cleanliness in the sink.

Secondly, the sink strainer plays a role in preventing the spread of odors.

Additionally, modern sink strainers come with practical features such as an attached drain strainer, which effectively filters out residue and particles from the sink, reducing the accumulation of dirt in the pipes.
