Sink strainers and baskets

Decide whether you need a loose strainer that sits over the drain or a replacement basket that also operates as a plug. Their dimensions and fitting arrangements can differ, even when the visible top is a similar size. Measure the existing assembly and look for the sink or waste manufacturer’s replacement code. A basket’s outside diameter alone does not establish whether its stem, sealing arrangement or depth matches your waste fitting.

MATCH THE DETAILS TO YOUR JOB

What to check before buying

  1. Identify loose strainer versus replacement plug basket and compare the intended function with your existing fitting.
  2. Check rim diameter, basket depth and the clear opening available in the sink waste.
  3. For a sealing basket, match the stem, seal and manufacturer part reference rather than top diameter alone.
  4. Confirm material, removable parts and pack quantity, including whether the listing supplies a complete waste assembly.
