Elkay Residential 72002160 Sink Basket Sub-assembly

Product Description

The ELKAY RESIDENTIAL 72002160 is a sink basket sub-assembly replacement part designed for kitchen sink drain systems. It captures food debris and solid waste at the drain opening while allowing water to pass through freely, maintaining proper flow and keeping the drain clear. This component fits within the sink drain opening as part of the complete basket strainer assembly and is the type of repair part a licensed plumber or experienced DIYer replaces when the original basket becomes corroded, cracked, or otherwise damaged. The unit ships as a single piece and weighs 0.19 pounds, making it straightforward to handle and stage for installation.

This basket sub-assembly is suited for residential kitchen sink applications where an Elkay-compatible replacement basket is needed. It is appropriate for standard sink drain repair and maintenance scenarios, including routine upkeep on residential kitchen sinks. Its compact package dimensions of 5.75 inches by 5.44 inches by 5.44 inches confirm fitment within a standard drain basket footprint, and the part is sold as a single unit.
