Bathtub & Shower Drain Hair Catcher in 304 Stainless Steel (AISI 304 (1.4301)) is used for catching hair and soap debris at bathtub and shower drains so the trap and waste pipe stay clear. The alloy gives good general corrosion resistance in atmosphere and fresh water and is essentially non-magnetic (annealed), with a practical service limit of approx. +450 °C continuous.
