Filters solid debris from draining water and liquid within commercial kitchen plumbing assemblies by providing a stainless-steel filtration surface over the drain opening. The T&S Brass 010386-45 Flat Strainer measures 3-1/2" and is designed to allow liquid to pass through while retaining larger food particles, residue, and other unwanted material. Its flat construction provides coverage over the drainage opening and supports debris separation before contaminants enter connected plumbing components. By helping control the movement of solids through the drain pathway, the strainer supports cleaner drainage flow and routine maintenance of the plumbing system.
Drain Filtration:
Separates solid particles from draining liquid as water passes through the stainless-steel openings. Food particles, residue, and other larger debris remain on the strainer surface while liquid continues through the drain opening. This filtration action helps reduce the amount of solid material entering downstream plumbing components.
Debris Separation:
The stainless-steel surface provides openings that permit liquid to pass while restricting larger solid contaminants. Regular removal of accumulated debris helps maintain effective drainage and allows the strainer to continue performing its intended filtration function.
Replacement Guidelines:
Replace the Flat Strainer if it is cracked, bent, deformed, corroded, clogged, or no longer provides proper straining and fit. The part number 010386-45, stainless steel construction, and 3-1/2" size should be verified before replacement to ensure the correct flat strainer is selected. Replace the strainer if deterioration affects filtration, fit, drainage, or normal equipment operation.
Common Failure Symptoms:
- Strainer surface becomes bent or deformed.
- Visible corrosion or material deterioration develops.
- Cracks or physical damage appear on the strainer.
- Strainer does not sit correctly in its designated opening.
- Debris-retention function is affected by damage to the straining surface.
Equipment Compatibility:
The T&S Brass 010386-45 Flat Strainer is intended for plumbing and drainage assemblies that require a 3-1/2" stainless-steel flat strainer for solid-debris separation. It is positioned over the drain opening to allow liquid to pass while retaining larger food particles and residue. Verify the existing strainer dimensions, part number, material, and mounting configuration to ensure the correct fit and drainage application.
