Oatey PP15X6W Strainer Tailpiece 1-1/2x6 in Threaded Plastic

Product Description

The OATEY PP15X6W is a threaded plastic strainer tailpiece designed for drain fitting applications in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, it connects the basket strainer assembly to the drain trap below. The captured nut design simplifies alignment and reduces the chance of losing hardware during installation. At 0.1 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this component as part of sink drain assemblies in kitchens and utility areas.

This tailpiece is suited for standard 1-1/2 inch drain configurations found in kitchen sinks and laundry tubs. The threaded connection and captured nut allow for straightforward hand-tightening to achieve a watertight seal. It is commonly installed as a replacement part when the existing tailpiece is cracked, corroded, or leaking at the strainer connection point.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch diameter threaded connection matches standard residential drain strainer outlets
• 6 inch length provides adequate reach between strainer body and trap inlet
• Captured nut design keeps the nut in place during installation
• Plastic construction resists corrosion and is lightweight at 0.1 pounds
• Threaded end allows secure, leak-resistant connection without special tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard 1-1/2 inch threaded strainer drain assemblies in residential and light commercial sink applications.

Installation Notes

This tailpiece is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified DIYers working on sink drain assemblies. Turn off the water supply and clear standing water from the drain before beginning work. Hand-tighten the captured nut to the strainer body, then use channel-lock pliers only as needed to snug the connection without overtightening, as excess force can crack plastic fittings. Verify alignment with the trap arm before final tightening to ensure a leak-free connection.
