DUO STRAINER, SINK PARTS

duo strainer, plumbing

Description: This is a threaded, chrome-plated cylinder of metal with an insert that can be raised or lowered.

Buying information: This is called a duo strainer because it allows the water either to flow or not to flow, and catches debris that might otherwise build up in the trap.

How-to hints: When installing, don't forget to put plumber's putty under the lip of the strainer to prevent leaks.

For ease in removing or installing a strainer, there is, in the first instance, an internal spud wrench and, in the second, a regular spud wrench.
