Is it for fixing the sink down to something or something like that. In some situations sometimes someone might wish to secure the sink to something for some reason and this stainless steel thing could be there to help them do something like that. Or it could be something else as sometimes its only obvious to some what its all for.
Hth
Eta looking at the big wires in the picture I would say its probably part of a galvanicity isolation transformer type device.

Remove the waste fitting again then bend it out of the way. The seal should have a flat face to pull up against.
It looks neither use nor ornament

Almost puts me in mind of the bonding tags that used to be Araldited onto cheap stainless steel sinks in the mid 80’s!

No, Maggers, forget the cables, they're just in the background. And you of all people I thought would be on the ball with this one. I'll have to ask some plumber... or boat fitters... or someone... probably the first time I've cleaned the plastic funnel, can't remember doing it before, ever. What morons make simple stuff so effing complicated? Sorry foxy I was on the Maredesous beer  I know the wires are unrelated. The tag is there to enable the sink to be secured inside packaging and stop it sliding about. You put a packing strap through it and fix it down. Either that or something from the production line like enabling it to picked up when upside down before the drain hole was punched through. Bearing in mind also that the item started life as a flat stainless steel plate which may not be magnetic. Actually I think those sinks are magnetic as it happens but it would be easier to handle with some sort of tag spot welded on. |

Angel grinder with a flap disc would take it off.

Earth bond strip, as has almost been suggested. To ensure you will die if you are holding a live wire and touch the sink.

Plumbing my arse, it looks like a modern art installation.
That hose reducer is a bit crude, looks like 3/4 to 1"
a silicon reducer and a straight male hose to hose coupler would be much neater.
