Product Description

The PLUMB SHOP DIV BRASSCRAFT 548-872 is a chrome-finish basket sink strainer designed for standard 3-1/2 inch kitchen or utility sink drain openings. The body is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, and the unit includes a metal post and rubber stopper for drain closure. This strainer installs into the sink drain flange to catch debris and allow controlled drainage. It is a direct replacement component used by plumbers and maintenance technicians on standard residential and light-commercial sink installations. The chrome finish provides a clean, polished appearance that blends with common sink hardware.

This strainer is suited for residential kitchen sinks, utility sinks, and wet bars where a 3-1/2 inch drain opening is present. The included rubber stopper with metal post allows the basin to hold water when needed. The basket design allows water to flow while trapping food particles, hair, and other debris. Installation is straightforward and fits within standard drain flange assemblies commonly found in residential plumbing systems. Plumbers and maintenance crews use this type of strainer as a routine service replacement.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician. Shut off water supply and clear the sink area before beginning work. Standard plumber's putty or silicone sealant is typically applied under the drain flange during installation per local plumbing code requirements. Do not overtighten the locknut, as this can crack the sink basin or distort the drain flange seal.
