Oatey K5445 Cast Brass Adjustable Strainer

Product Description

The OATEY K5445 is a commercial-grade cast brass sink strainer designed for use in kitchen and service sink drain applications. Constructed entirely of solid brass with a chrome-plated finish, it provides corrosion resistance suited to demanding commercial environments. The adjustable brass drop post basket features a safety rolled edge for secure operation, and the brass stopper uses an o-ring seal to deliver a reliable watertight closure. All necessary nuts and washers are included for a complete installation. Licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians install this strainer as a durable, long-service replacement or new-installation drain fitting.

This strainer is intended for commercial and residential sink drain assemblies where a solid brass, adjustable basket strainer is required. Its chrome-plated exterior suits exposed sink installations in commercial kitchens, service areas, and similar environments. The adjustable drop post design accommodates standard drain openings, making it a practical choice for plumbers handling fixture replacement or new rough-in work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and drain any standing water before beginning work. Plumber's putty or the supplied hardware should be used per manufacturer guidance to ensure a proper seal at the sink flange. Do not overtighten the locknut, as this can crack the sink basin or distort the strainer body.
