Bsc Preferred LKAD18 Kitchen Sink Drain Strainer Brass

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED LKAD18 is a chrome-plated brass kitchen sink drain strainer designed for high-use environments including residential kitchens, commercial prep stations, bars, and laundry sinks. The unit features an extra deep basket at 3 inches in depth, which captures food scraps and debris before they enter the drain line, reducing the risk of clogs and keeping the sink area cleaner. A built-in handle on the basket allows for easy lift-out removal without direct contact with collected waste. Licensed plumbers and skilled tradespeople install this strainer as part of a complete sink drain assembly.

This strainer is suited for residential and light-commercial sink installations where a 3-1/2 inch drain opening is present. Typical applications include kitchen prep sinks, bar sinks, and laundry utility sinks. The included LKADOS tailpiece measures 1-1/2 inches in outer diameter and 4 inches in length, providing a direct connection point to the drain trap arm and integrating with standard P-trap configurations. The chrome finish is consistent with polished chrome plumbing trim commonly specified in kitchen and bar environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with applicable IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and clear standing water from the sink basin before beginning work. Apply plumber's putty or the manufacturer-specified sealant around the drain flange before seating the strainer body. Do not overtighten the locknut, as this can crack the sink basin or distort the flange seal.
