Bsc Preferred 72002160 Sink Basket Sub-assembly

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 72002160 is a sink basket sub-assembly designed for use in kitchen drain applications. This component sits in the sink drain opening and captures food debris while allowing water to pass through freely. It is a direct replacement part for kitchen sink strainer basket assemblies and is suited for both residential and light commercial plumbing service. The basket measures approximately 5.44 inches in width and length, with a height of 5.75 inches, and weighs 0.19 pounds. Licensed plumbers and general contractors install this type of component during sink repair or replacement work.

This basket sub-assembly is used in kitchen sink drain assemblies where the existing basket strainer has worn, cracked, or no longer seats properly. Its compact dimensions make it a practical fit for standard sink drain configurations. Both residential plumbing service technicians and commercial kitchen maintenance personnel install components of this type during routine drain maintenance or fixture upgrades.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber should perform sink basket sub-assembly replacements in commercial settings; residential installs are commonly completed by knowledgeable service technicians. Shut off the water supply and clear the cabinet area under the sink before beginning any drain work. Avoid overtightening the basket locknut, as this can crack the sink drain flange. Verify the new basket seats fully and creates a watertight seal before returning the fixture to service.
