Which size is right?

Pick by drain type and the pipe/receptor size you're fitting:

Cylinder strainerDrops into a floor sink to catch solids; sized by diameter and height.
Floor drain strainerFlat grate/strainer over a floor drain in wet areas.
Floor sinkRecessed receptor that receives indirect (air-gapped) equipment drains.

Health-department & code relevance

Kitchen equipment drains to floor sinks/drains through an air gap (indirect waste), never a direct connection — that prevents sewage backflow into food-contact equipment. Strainers keep debris out of the drain line and are a routine inspection point.

Common questions

Why drain equipment to a floor sink instead of straight to the drain?

Code requires an air gap (indirect waste) between food equipment and the sewer so a backup can't siphon into the equipment. The floor sink is the receptor that provides it.

What does the strainer do?

Catches food solids and debris before they enter the drain line, preventing clogs and keeping the area sanitary — a basic inspection expectation in wet zones.
