Plumb Shop Div Brasscraft 452-896 Basket Sink Strainer

Product Description

The PLUMB SHOP DIV BRASSCRAFT 452-896 is a stainless steel basket sink strainer with a chrome finish, designed for standard kitchen or utility sink drain openings with a 3-1/2 inch outer diameter. The assembly captures debris before it enters the drain line, helping prevent clogs and protecting downstream drain components. It ships as a complete kit, including the basket strainer with metal post, a rubber stopper, a lock nut, and washers. Plumbers and general contractors install this strainer during sink rough-in or as a direct replacement on existing drain bodies. The chrome finish provides corrosion resistance suited to wet, high-use environments.

This strainer is intended for residential and light commercial sink applications where the drain opening measures 3-1/2 inches in outer diameter. Typical installations include kitchen sinks, laundry tubs, and utility basins. The included hardware allows for a complete installation without sourcing additional components. The rubber stopper lets the sink hold standing water when needed, making it a functional fit for prep sinks and work basins.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or experienced tradesperson. Shut off water supply and clear the drain area before beginning work. Apply plumber's putty under the strainer flange before seating it in the drain opening, then tighten the lock nut from below using a spud wrench or locking pliers — do not overtighten, as this can crack porcelain or damage the sink basin. Verify the drain body is watertight before returning the fixture to service.
