Sioux Chief 861-6 Pvc Flat Bottom Strainer 5-1/16 in

Product Description

The SIOUX CHIEF 861-6 is a flat bottom strainer made from PVC, designed to catch debris and prevent clogs in drain assemblies. Measuring 5-1/16 inches in diameter, it fits floor drain and sink drain applications where a flat-seated strainer is required. The PVC construction resists corrosion and common chemical exposure found in residential and light commercial plumbing environments. Licensed plumbers and drain service technicians install this type of strainer as part of routine drain maintenance or during fixture replacement.

This strainer is suited for floor drain installations, utility sink drains, and similar plumbing fixtures requiring a flat bottom seating profile. The 5-1/16 inch diameter makes it appropriate for standard drain openings that call for this size. It is commonly specified in both new construction and retrofit work where a corrosion-resistant, non-metallic strainer is preferred over brass or cast iron alternatives.

Key Features

• PVC construction resists corrosion and common drain chemicals
• Flat bottom profile seats securely in compatible drain bodies
• 5-1/16 inch diameter fits standard drain openings of this size
• Lightweight and easy to remove for cleaning and maintenance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation strainer for floor drains and utility drain fixtures requiring a flat bottom strainer with a 5-1/16 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified drain technician. Shut off water supply and ensure the drain is clear before seating the strainer. No adhesives or fasteners are typically required for flat bottom strainers, but verify the drain body accepts this profile before installation. Follow local plumbing code requirements per the IPC or applicable regional standard.
