Oatey PP5413 Deep Cup Locking Shell Sink Strainer

Product Description

The OATEY PP5413 is a stainless steel kitchen sink strainer designed for standard 3.5-inch sink drain openings. It features an extra-deep cup body with a locking shell design that keeps the basket securely seated during use. The fixed-post stainless steel basket includes a safety-rolled edge to prevent cuts during handling, and the power ball closure uses a neoprene stopper to create a watertight seal when draining is not needed. Weighing 0.92 pounds, this strainer is a direct-fit replacement suitable for residential kitchen sink service. Plumbers and experienced DIYers install this unit as part of drain rough-in or fixture replacement work.

The PP5413 fits residential kitchen sinks with a 3.5-inch drain opening, which is the standard size found in the vast majority of kitchen sink installations. The deep cup body provides additional capacity for catching food debris compared to standard-depth strainer baskets. The locking shell keeps the strainer assembly from backing out under normal use, making it well suited for high-use kitchen environments. This strainer is appropriate for new construction and retrofit applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or experienced DIYer familiar with sink drain assemblies. Shut off the water supply and clear standing water from the sink before beginning removal of the existing strainer. Plumber's putty or a silicone sealant is commonly applied around the drain flange before seating the new strainer body. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including applicable IPC standards, for drain fitting installation.
