Danco Company 81080 Sink Strainer Shank Nut Kit

Product Description

The DANCO COMPANY 81080 is a sink strainer basket shank nut assortment designed to restore a watertight seal at the strainer body connection beneath kitchen and bathroom sinks. The kit addresses one of the most common causes of under-sink leaks: worn or degraded shank nuts and washers that no longer compress properly against the strainer basket. Each package includes one shank nut and two washers, giving plumbers and experienced DIYers everything needed to complete a strainer seal repair in a single service call. The package weighs 0.3 pounds and measures 7 inches long by 5.1 inches wide by 0.7 inches tall for compact storage.

This assortment is suited for residential sink strainer service work where the existing nut or washers have cracked, deformed, or stripped over time. It is a direct maintenance item used during strainer basket replacements or leak-diagnosis calls. Plumbers typically carry this type of hardware assortment to avoid return trips caused by damaged fastener components discovered mid-installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off the water supply and clear standing water from the drain before beginning work. Standard slip-joint pliers or a strainer wrench are typically used to seat and tighten the shank nut against the strainer body. Do not overtighten the shank nut, as excess force can crack the sink basin or distort the washer seating surface.
