Italian term

tramoggia di scarico

Italian to English Other Mechanics / Mech Engineering plumbing
from the context of this translation "tramoggia di scarico" would seem to refer to the sink/washbasin itself. Has anyone ever heard of this and what would it translate as? I have my doubts as to "hopper".
TIA
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 discharge hopper
4 drain screen

points Sorry to you both - the client had in fact been rather imprecise and has now changed the term to "imbuto di scarico"- if I could I would award you both equal points . Hope you'll have better luck with my next question.
Lydia Cleary (asker) Nov 6, 2009:
Well I don't actually require help in deciding what they are referring to but merely wondered if anyone had ever heard of the expression and what it might be in English.
Kate Chaffer Nov 6, 2009:
What context? You say "from the context of this translation" and then don't provide any! Help us to help you!!

ok but it was not clear that the topic is plumbing. In this case possibly feedbox is the better option " serbatoio di alimentazione per materilai sciolti/liquidi" - hope this helps
Note from asker:
Thanks Earnest but discharge hopper obviously refers to an industrial machine/application while this is definitely a plumbing job. P.S. The term is a title hence no immediate context.

drain screen

It's what catches debris and keeps it from clogging the drain pipe further down. sounds like this is it, if it isn't the trap filter further down
