Kohler 51317 Brass Crumb Cup Strainer

Product Description

The KOHLER 51317 is a brass crumb cup strainer designed to catch food debris and prevent drain clogs in kitchen sink applications. Constructed from brass, this strainer fits into the sink drain basket assembly and acts as a first line of defense against solid waste entering the drain line. Plumbers and kitchen fixture installers handle this type of fitting during new sink installations or drain maintenance calls. The brass construction provides durability and resistance to corrosion in wet environments. At 0.34 pounds, it is a lightweight component suited for residential kitchen plumbing work.

This crumb cup strainer is used in residential kitchen plumbing, typically installed inside a sink strainer body or drain basket assembly. It is commonly encountered during kitchen sink drain service, strainer basket replacement, or fixture upgrade projects. The strainer allows water to pass through while capturing food particles and debris before they enter the P-trap and drain system. Plumbers and experienced DIYers replace this part as routine maintenance to keep drains flowing freely.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified installer familiar with residential kitchen drain fixtures.
