Disposer Flange And Sink Strainer
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=William_Samson]William Samson

The disposer flange and sink strainer includes a strainer unit, a seat, and a mounting flange. The strainer unit comes with a handle, a strainer member, and a plug member while the plug member has a platform and a surrounding wall depending from the platform on which multiple slope guide is located.

The seat used in the disposer flange and sink strainer includes a limiter located at a lower portion of the seat. It also includes a snapping portion at a top of the seat. The seat also includes a stopping surface protruding from and surrounding a middle portion of the seat, and there is also another snapping portion at the bottom of the seat.

The mounting flange in the disposer flange and sink strainer is available at the top end with a flange portion and at a bottom end with a mounting portion. You can also find some units in which the sink strainer may further include a decorative flange having a flange portion and a snapping portion. These portions are dimensioned and configured to abut on, and be engaged with, the flange portion and top-snapping portion of the seat.

Replacing the sink strainer from the disposer flange and sink strainer is also very simple. The sink strainer is the fitting secured to the sink bowl. The first thing in order to replace the sink strainer is to remove the old one. However, you must keep in mind that you can also find units in which the strainer is held with a large lock nut. There are another type as well that has three screws. Once you have removed the sink strainer, all you have to do is to install the flange that comes with the disposer, applying plumber's putty under its lip to form a seal with the sink bowl.
