Elkay Commercial LK177 Drain Fitting Beehive Strainer

Product Description

The ELKAY COMMERCIAL LK177 is a chrome-plated brass beehive strainer designed for sink drain fittings in commercial and residential plumbing applications. The unit features a 2-inch drain opening with a 1-1/2-inch outer diameter, 4-inch brass tailpiece, providing a secure, leak-resistant connection to standard drain assemblies. The beehive strainer basket traps debris before it enters the drain line, reducing the risk of clogs downstream. Licensed plumbers and plumbing contractors are the typical installers for this type of drain fitting. The chrome-plated brass construction provides corrosion resistance and a clean finished appearance suited to commercial environments.

The LK177 is appropriate for kitchen, prep, bar, and laundry sink installations where a standard drain strainer and tailpiece assembly is required. The 1-1/2-inch OD tailpiece connects to standard 1-1/2-inch trap assemblies commonly found in commercial and residential plumbing systems. Its beehive basket design is well suited to high-use sink environments where debris collection and easy cleaning are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and ensure the drain line is clear before beginning work. Use plumber's putty or the appropriate sealant at the drain flange seating surface per the sink manufacturer's guidance. Do not overtighten the locknut, as this can crack the sink basin or distort the strainer body.
