Spare parts for sinks
Spare parts for sinks include components required for correct installation, safe connection and everyday use of the washing area. This category contains plumbing components, waste fittings and small supplementary accessories for effective repair or modification of the kitchen water and waste system. Correctly selected Spare parts for sinks keep the installation watertight, make cleaning easier and improve the comfort of using the Bowl.
Types of parts and installation accessories
The range of plumbing and installation accessories makes servicing and the safe connection of mixers and Bowls easier. When purchasing installation or repair parts for a particular sink, you can choose from several basic product groups:
-
Siphons and waste fittings: water drainage systems in 2" and 3.5" sizes, available for 1-bowl and 2-bowl sinks.
-
Strainers, plugs and drain cups: components integrated into the waste outlet that filter food residue and allow the drain to be closed conveniently.
-
Installation accessories: mounting kits that help secure the Bowl firmly in the worktop, Sink mixer supports and special Sink consoles for Mop sinks.
-
Covering components and overflows: steel hole covers and universal overflow systems that prevent water from spilling over.
How do you choose the right Siphon and waste fittings?
Correct drainage from the Bowl is essential for kitchen hygiene. When selecting Siphons, match them to the construction of the sinks. The range includes single models, such as a 2" Siphon without an overflow, and more complex versions, including 2x2" and 2x3.5" Siphons with an overflow for 2-bowl sinks. A universal overflow protects the kitchen against flooding if the water is accidentally left running while the drain is closed. A 3.5" drain cup with a strainer acts as a filter, trapping larger particles and protecting the Siphon against blockages.
Small components that improve stability and appearance
When selecting supplementary parts for equipment such as a sink, it is worth considering details that make everyday use easier. A blanking plug for the sink Mixer hole conceals an unused factory-prepared opening neatly and securely. It is useful in reversible models or when the Mixer is installed on the wall.
Another practical solution is a support for installing a Sink mixer. This small component stabilises tall fittings and prevents the surface into which the Spout is fitted from bending. The solution works particularly well with the thinner materials used for stainless steel sinks.
Compatibility with different sink types
Most accessories in this category are universal, but the technical specification of the selected Bowl should always be checked before purchase. A 3.5" drain cup with a strainer fits the standard waste openings used in modern designs. Mounting kits, in turn, are intended for Inset sinks. With products such as thicker and heavier granite sinks, the waste system and the length of the fixing screws must match the material specifications to ensure watertight and durable connections.
Frequently asked questions
How do you choose the right Siphon size for a sink?
The Siphon size should match the diameter of the waste opening in the Bowl. The most popular market standards are 2" and 3.5" drains.
What is a Mixer-hole blanking plug used for?
The blanking plug seals and neatly conceals a factory-prepared opening in the sink. It is suitable for reversible models or situations in which the Mixer is installed directly in the worktop or on the wall.
When should a Mixer support be used?
A support is used to reinforce tall kitchen fittings. It prevents thin stainless steel from deforming and stabilises the Spout while it is being rotated.
Are drain cups with strainers universal?
Most 3.5" drain cups with strainers are universal. They fit stainless steel and granite Bowls with a standard waste opening of this diameter.
What is the purpose of an overflow in a sink?
An overflow is an additional system that drains excess water from the upper part of the Bowl or Drainer. It protects the worktop and floor against flooding when the main drain is closed with the strainer.
