Understanding the Junior Duo 2 Inch Drain Standard
When outfitting a secondary bar sink or compact prep station, standard kitchen sink drains are simply too large to fit the opening. Think of it like trying to fit a heavy-duty truck tire onto a compact car; the proportions do not align. This junior duo basket strainer is specifically engineered with a compact footprint tailored for 2 inch drain openings. By matching the precise scale of bar sinks, it ensures a secure, leak-free seating while still providing the debris-catching convenience of a full-sized kitchen strainer.
Installation Guide
Verify that your bar sink has a 2 inch drain opening before beginning installation.
Apply plumber putty or the manufacturer recommended sealant around the underside of the strainer flange.
Insert the strainer body through the top of the sink drain opening and press down firmly.
Secure the lower components and tailpiece underneath the sink according to standard plumbing practices, wiping away any excess sealant.
Care & Maintenance
Regular Rinsing Rinse the basket daily with clean water to prevent soap film and residue buildup.
Gentle Cleaning Use a soft sponge and mild dish soap to clean the stainless steel and Victorian Bronze surfaces.
Avoid Abrasoids Never use abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners that can scratch the finish.
Dry After Use Wipe the strainer dry with a soft cloth occasionally to maintain the luster of the bronze coating.
Clear Debris Empty the strainer basket frequently to ensure unobstructed water drainage during food prep.
