Oatey 1437SS Stainless Steel Basket Strainer 3.5 Inch

Product Description

The OATEY 1437SS is a stainless steel basket strainer assembly designed for kitchen sink drain installations requiring a 3.5-inch to 4-inch drain opening. The basket strainer features a spring steel clip closure that creates a water-tight, leak-proof seal when the basket is in place. The assembly includes a die-cast tailpiece nut with deep-cut 14-pitch threads for a secure, reliable connection to the drain body. This part is installed by licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers during new sink installations or replacement of worn or corroded strainer assemblies.

This strainer assembly fits residential kitchen sink applications where a 3.5-inch to 4-inch drain opening is present. It serves as a direct replacement for aging or damaged basket strainers in standard kitchen sink setups. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and staining in typical wet sink environments. The assembly arrives boxed and ready for installation without requiring additional components beyond standard plumber tools and drain putty or gasket material.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified DIYer following local plumbing codes, including applicable IPC requirements. Shut off water supply and clear standing water from the sink before beginning work. Apply plumber putty or a provided gasket under the strainer flange before seating it in the drain opening. Avoid overtightening the tailpiece nut, as this can crack the drain body or distort the gasket seal.
