It features a fixed post design with a mesh basket that collects food debris and allows water to flow through freely. The assembly includes a tailpiece nut and washer, a full-size locking nut, and an under-sink gasket. An extra heavy-duty gasket provides a reliable water-tight seal at the sink deck, and the safety rolled edge on the basket reduces the risk of cuts during routine cleaning. Plumbers and experienced DIYers install this strainer as a replacement or new-installation drain fitting in residential kitchen sinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis strainer assembly is suited for standard residential kitchen sink drain openings. The brushed nickel finish coordinates with common sink hardware. The mesh basket is removable for easy cleaning and debris disposal, making it practical for high-use residential kitchens. Installation requires basic hand tools and is performed under the sink after shutting off the water supply and clearing the drain plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrushed nickel finish for a clean, corrosion-resistant appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixed post basket design holds the strainer body in place during nut tightening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMesh basket collects debris and is removable for easy cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra heavy-duty gasket seals the strainer-to-sink interface against leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafety rolled edge on the basket reduces sharp-edge contact during handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes tailpiece nut, washer, full-size locking nut, and under-sink gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation basket strainer for standard residential kitchen sink drain openings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed plumber or qualified installer should shut off the water supply and clear standing water from the drain line before beginning work. Apply plumber's putty or the included gasket beneath the strainer flange before seating it in the sink opening. Hand-tighten the locking nut from below, then snug with pliers or a drain wrench — do not overtighten, as this can crack the sink deck or distort the gasket seal. Work performed on drain assemblies should comply with applicable local plumbing codes based on the IPC or UPC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brushed Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fixed Post Basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.934 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tailpiece nut, washer, full-size locking nut, under-sink gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUOM\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OATEY\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 438976\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OATEY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344757063986,"sku":"438976","price":47.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310550873.jpg?v=1782042710","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/oatey-438976-basket-strainer-assembly-brushed-nickel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
