Basket Strainers & Sink Drains
Basket strainers and sink drains are installed at sink outlets to connect the fixture to the drain line, while preventing debris from entering the drainage system.
Basket strainers have removable, perforated 'baskets', and are typically used in larger sinks. The basket's function is to capture debris, like food particles or other waste, while allowing water to pass through. This helps prevent clogs and allows for easy cleaning.
A sink drain is the fixed assembly connected to the sink outlet. Sink drains typically include a flange, body, tailpiece connection, and may incorporate a strainer, stopper, or sealing mechanism depending on the design and application.
