Oatey K5462PC Garbage Disposal Stopper Strainer

Product Description

The OATEY K5462PC is a garbage disposal stopper and strainer designed for use at the kitchen sink drain opening. It serves a dual function: the strainer basket catches food debris and small items before they enter the disposal, while the stopper portion seals the drain when needed. Lightweight at 0.3 pounds, it fits into standard sink flange openings and provides a straightforward, serviceable replacement for worn or missing sink stopper and strainer assemblies. Plumbers and drain service technicians commonly install this unit as a direct-fit accessory on garbage disposal-equipped kitchen sinks.

This stopper and strainer is suited for residential kitchen sink installations where a garbage disposal is mounted below the sink flange. It is used in standard drop-in applications to restore proper drain function and debris retention at the sink basin. No specialized tools are typically required for installation, making it a common service call item for plumbers handling kitchen drain repairs or appliance accessory replacements.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified drain technician. Shut off water supply and clear the sink basin before beginning work. Ensure the existing sink flange is clean and free of debris before seating the new stopper and strainer assembly. No special tools are required, but confirm the unit seats flush and operates freely before returning the fixture to service.
