Allpoints 321445 Disposer Strainer 17.125 in Black Plastic

Product Description

The ALLPOINTS 321445 is a disposer strainer cone designed to prevent unwanted items from entering a commercial garbage disposer. Made from black plastic, this strainer seats over the top of the disposer opening and acts as a physical barrier between the sink basin and the disposer inlet. The cone measures 17.125 inches at the top diameter and 12 inches at the bottom, with a height of 2.75 inches including feet. It is sized to fit 18-inch disposer units common in commercial foodservice installations. Foodservice technicians and commercial plumbers install this part as a replacement or initial fitment on disposer assemblies in kitchens, cafeterias, and institutional facilities.

This strainer is intended for commercial disposer applications where protecting the unit from bone fragments, utensils, and other solid debris is required. The cone design with bottom holes allows water and food waste to pass through while blocking larger items. It is suited for high-volume kitchens where disposers operate continuously and where an unprotected inlet would accelerate wear or cause jams. Licensed plumbers and commercial kitchen equipment technicians handle installation and replacement of this component during routine disposer maintenance or repair calls.
