Industrial Strainers Use

Many households currently include showers. When a shower is installed, the shower drain must be tightened at the bottom of the shower to form a watertight seal. The sealing of the shower drain is usually accomplished by the use of plumber's putty and/or another sealant  that is applied to the rim of the shower drain, and the shower drain is then placed in the existing hole of the shower stall. The body of the shower drain includes male threads by Industrial Filters Manufacturers. A sealing ring, usually formed of brass, having female threads is then threaded onto the drain body and then tightened against the bottom of the shower so as to form the watertight seal.

The sealing ring usually includes small tabs that enable the installer to grip the ring so that the sealing ring can be tightened on the body of the drain. The tightening procedure is usually accomplished with a set of pliers. The base of the shower stall is often formed of a wood frame that includes attached fiberglass. The wooden frame often extends out past the drain, thereby interfering with easy accessibility to the sealing ring. As such, the tightening of the sealing ring on the body of the drain to form a watertight seal can be  impossible & time consuming. In addition, the limited and/or obstructed access to the sealing ring can make it difficult to properly tighten the sealing ring on the body of the drain, thereby potentially leading to an improper seal being formed.

Industrial Strainers are also often used with sink and shower drains. These strainers are often formed of metal or plastic and often include a hexagonal shaped nut that's used to seal the Industrial Strainers to a sink or shower. These hexagonal nuts are similar in size to the sealing rings. Similar issues exist for these hexagonal shaped nut as with the sealing rings when trying to tighten the hexagonal shaped nut when access to the hexagonal shaped nut is limited and/or obstructed.

In view of the current state of the art of plumbing tools, there's a demand for a wrench that can be used to more basically & conveniently access & tighten a Industrial strainers and/or a sealing ring of a drain.

The present invention is usually directed to plumber's tools, & more  to a wrench, & still more  to a wrench, & even more  to a wrench for use on sink and/or shower stall drains. Although the wrench will be  described with reference to a sealing ring or strainer wrench for use on sink and/or shower stall drains, it will be appreciated that the wrench has lots of other plumbing & non-plumbing applications, all of which are encompassed by the present invention.

Basket Strainers Need

When the water in your kitchen sink swirls into the drain, it is entering the sink basket strainer. Sink basket Industrial Strainers Manufacturers collect food and particles from the sink water. When the basket is filling with refuse, it can be cleaned from the side. Basket strainers are usually present in commercial and or industrial applications.

The top of the basket strainer is visible as a metal rim which surrounds the sink drain. Below the sink, its metal walls gradually narrow in a basket shape, until they ultimately form a narrow pipe, which interfaces with the sink tail piece. Every so often the basket strainer wears out & begins to leak. When the piece corrodes & begins to leak, it needs to get replaced.

In their sink repair which can be found at, you can watch one of their service men replacing a basket strainer underneath a kitchen sink in a restaurant. The basket strainer, as the video demonstrates, is that metal piece which fits into the drain opening of your sink and which connects, on the under side of the sink, to the sink the tail piece.

Next you can either call a plumber  or try to do the repair job yourself. in the event you select to make the repair, you will need to buy a new Industrial Strainers basket & tail piece. The tail piece is a short straight metal piece that connects the bottom of the basket strainer to the copper plumbing of the house. The copper pipes won't need to get replaced, in this replacement job.

The rest of the installation takes place under the sink. Tighten the nuts & washers that connect the copper piping tail piece & basket strainer. Don't over tighten anything as that may cause cracking. When everything is in place, turn on the water & check for leaks.
