Commercial Kitchen Sink Drain Assembly
The sink drain assembly is a vital element of the plumbing system in commercial kitchens, allowing water and other liquids to exit the sink and enter the drainage system. However, with time, components of the sink drain can deteriorate or become obstructed, resulting in slow drainage or complete blockages. In such instances, it is essential to utilize commercial kitchen sink drain parts to uphold the sink's proper functionality, mitigating water damage and potential health risks. The parts of a sink drain typically encompass a basket strainer, a tailpiece, a P-trap, and a drain assembly. The basket strainer acts as a barrier, preventing food scraps and other waste from entering the drainage system. Linked to the basket strainer via the tailpiece, the P-trap, a curved pipe, retains water while preventing sewer gases from entering the structure. Furthermore, the drain assembly includes a lift rod that controls a pop-up drain stopper. Various types and sizes of parts of a kitchen sink drain are available to accommodate different sinks and plumbing systems, varying in materials such as brass, PVC, or stainless steel and featuring threaded or compression fittings.
Faucet drain parts consist of the drain flange, the drain body, and the drain plug. The drain flange encircles the sink's opening and is the visible part of the drain, while the drain body connects to the drain flange and leads to the P-trap. Operated by a lift rod or faucet knob, the drain plug ceases the water flow. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of commercial kitchen sink parts and prevent clogs and related issues.
