It installs in the drain opening of a kitchen sink and provides a removable, mesh basket that captures food debris before it enters the drain line. The assembly includes a tailpiece nut, washer, full-size locking nut, and an under-sink gasket. An extra heavy-duty gasket seals against water intrusion at the sink bowl, and the basket features a safety rolled edge to reduce the risk of cuts during routine cleaning. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers handle this installation as part of new-sink setups or drain replacement service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis strainer assembly suits residential kitchen sink applications where a finished Venetian Bronze appearance is required. It is a drop-in replacement for worn or corroded basket strainer units in standard kitchen sink drain openings. The fixed-post design holds the strainer body in place during tightening of the locking nut below the sink, which simplifies single-person installation. The mesh basket lifts out for easy cleaning without tools, making it practical for high-use residential kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVenetian Bronze finish for a consistent aesthetic with matching sink hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixed-post basket strainer body simplifies single-person installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemovable mesh basket collects food debris and cleans without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra heavy-duty gasket provides a watertight seal at the sink bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafety rolled edge on basket reduces cut risk during cleaning\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 for standard kitchen sink basket strainer assemblies in residential applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified DIYer familiar with IPC drain fitting requirements. Shut off the water supply and clear standing water from the sink before beginning.
