Understanding Fireclay Sink Drain Requirements
Deep fireclay sinks have thicker walls than standard stainless steel or composite sinks, requiring specialized drain assemblies with extended threading or specific sizing. The Whitehaus RNW35 is specifically engineered to accommodate these unique dimensional requirements, ensuring a secure and water tight fit where standard strainers might fall short. Think of it like choosing the right length bolt for a thick timber frame; standard options simply will not reach or seal correctly, making a dedicated fireclay strainer essential for a leak free installation.
Installation Guide
Verify that your fireclay sink has a standard 3 1/2 inch drain opening before beginning installation.
Apply plumber putty or the manufacturer recommended sealant around the drain flange to ensure a proper water tight seal.
Insert the strainer body through the top of the sink basin and secure it underneath according to standard plumbing practices.
Wipe away any excess putty or sealant from the sink surface and test the assembly for leaks by running water.
Care & Maintenance
Regular Cleaning Wash the strainer basket regularly with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth to prevent buildup.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals that can damage the brass finish.
Rinse After Use Rinse the strainer thoroughly after washing dishes, especially when acidic or staining foods are present.
Dry Periodically Wipe down the exposed surfaces with a dry towel to maintain the luster of your chosen finish.
Inspect Seals Periodically check the under sink connections to ensure everything remains secure and leak free.
