FAQs

What is the exact size requirement for this strainer plug?

This Stadux Kitchen Sink Strainer Plug is designed for UK sinks with an outer drain diameter of 84mm. Please measure your sink's drain opening to confirm compatibility.

Can this plug provide a completely watertight seal?

The strainer plug is designed to fit snugly and provide a basic seal for temporary water holding. It is not intended to be a completely watertight stopper for filling a sink for extended periods.

How often should I clean the strainer plug?

It is recommended to clean the strainer plug after each use to remove food debris and prevent odors or clogs. A quick rinse and occasional wash with mild soap is usually sufficient.

Is the stainless steel used prone to rust?

The strainer is made from thickened, high-quality stainless steel, which is inherently rust-resistant. Normal use and proper cleaning should prevent rust formation.

What should I do if the strainer doesn't fit my sink?

If the strainer does not fit, it likely means your sink's drain diameter is not 84mm. You will need to find a strainer plug that matches your sink's specific dimensions.

Can I use this strainer with a garbage disposal unit?

This strainer is designed to catch food waste before it enters the drainpipe. While it can be used in sinks with garbage disposals, it's typically used to prevent larger items from entering the disposal or drain in sinks without one.

Troubleshooting

Sink is not draining well.

Ensure the strainer is not overflowing with debris. Remove the plug and clear any trapped food particles. Check the sink drain itself for blockages further down.

Strainer plug does not fit the sink drain.

Verify that your sink's outer drain diameter is exactly 84mm. If it is larger or smaller, this strainer plug will not create a proper seal or fit securely.

Water is leaking around the plug when used as a stopper.

This strainer plug is primarily designed for straining. While it offers a basic seal, it may not be completely watertight. For full basin filling, a dedicated rubber sink stopper might be necessary.

Strainer appears discolored or shows signs of rust.

Although made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or certain food acids without cleaning could cause minor discoloration. Clean thoroughly with a mild detergent and soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting stainless steel build.
  • Effectively catches food particles, preventing sink clogs.
  • Dual function as a strainer and a plug.
  • Easy to clean and maintain.
  • Rust-resistant design for kitchen use.

Cons

  • Specific 84mm diameter may not fit all UK sinks.
  • Small holes, while effective for filtering, might require more frequent cleaning if large debris is common.
  • Does not include a rubber seal for a watertight plug, relying on a snug fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This strainer plug is designed for straightforward placement into your sink's drain. Simply remove your old strainer or plug and place the Stadux strainer plug into the 84mm drain opening.

Compatibility: This product is specifically designed to fit UK kitchen sinks with an outer drain diameter of 84mm. It is crucial to measure your sink's drain opening before purchase to ensure a proper fit. It is not compatible with sinks that have different drain sizes or other plumbing configurations.

Care: To clean, simply lift the strainer plug from the sink. Dispose of the collected food waste. Rinse the strainer under running water and use a soft brush or sponge with mild soap if necessary. The stainless steel is durable, but avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool that could scratch the surface. Allow it to air dry or wipe with a soft cloth.
