Oatey 17 Spin-n-lock Sink Basket Strainer Npsm

Product Description

The OATEY 17 Spin-N-Lock Sink Basket Strainer is a stainless steel drain fitting designed for kitchen and utility sink installations requiring a 1-1/2-11.5 NPSM threaded connection. The strainer body measures 3.22 inches inside diameter by 4.33 inches outside diameter, with an overall length of 4.7 inches. The chrome-plated finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance suited for exposed installations. Licensed plumbers and experienced installers use this type of strainer as a direct drain outlet at the sink basin, connecting the sink to the drain tailpiece and trap assembly below.

This strainer is suited for residential and light commercial sink drain applications. The Spin-N-Lock design simplifies installation by allowing the basket and locknut to be engaged without requiring a tool to hold the basket stationary during tightening. It fits standard kitchen or utility sink drain openings that accept a 1-1/2-inch NPSM connection. The chrome-plated stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for both undermount and drop-in sink configurations where corrosion resistance and finish durability are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified tradespeople in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and clear the cabinet below the sink before beginning work. Apply plumber's putty or the supplied gasket under the strainer flange before seating it in the sink drain opening, and tighten the locknut from below to the manufacturer-recommended hand-tight-plus specification without over-torquing the stainless body. Inspect all connections for leaks after restoring water service.
