Elkay Commercial LK87RT Rotary Lever Drain Fitting

Product Description

The ELKAY COMMERCIAL LK87RT is a rotary lever-operated drain fitting engineered for reliable sink waste management in commercial and residential plumbing applications. The fitting measures 3-1/2 inches and features a chrome-plated brass overflow connection with a 1-1/4 inches O.D. tube connected to a 4 inches tailpiece. The top flange is stainless steel at 4-1/2 inches O.D., providing corrosion resistance and a clean finished appearance. A basket strainer captures food particles and debris to reduce clogging and simplify routine maintenance. Licensed plumbers and facilities maintenance technicians install this fitting as part of a complete sink drain assembly.

The LK87RT suits kitchen, bar, and laundry sink installations where a lever-operated drain is preferred over a pop-up or manual strainer. The rotary lever mechanism allows the basket to be raised or lowered without reaching into the sink, making it practical in high-use commercial environments such as food service prep areas, bar stations, and utility rooms. The chrome-plated brass body and stainless steel flange coordinate with other Elkay sink accessories including color-matched drains and stainless steel sink grids.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and ensure the sink basin is dry before removing any existing drain assembly. Apply plumber's putty or a silicone sealant under the flange as required by the sink manufacturer. Do not overtighten the locknut against the sink basin, as this can crack the sink deck or distort the flange seal.
