kitchen sink strainer installation

Installing a kitchen sink strainer can seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually quite easy if you have the right tools and know what to do! So here are a few easy fixes to make your kitchen sink look — and work — great.

Remove the Old Strainer: Then, remove any old strainer or garbage from your sink drain. If necessary, use the pliers or wrench to loosen and remove the old strainer.

Avoiding common mistakes during kitchen sink strainer installation

  1. Prepare the New Strainer Place your new kitchen sink strainer in an upright position and run a thin line of plumber's putty around any edge that will be in the sink basin, forming a seal.

Fit the Strainer: Fit the strainer into the opening of the drain hole. Center it and press it down good.

One pitfall to avoid is cinching up the nut under the sink too tight. This can cause too much putty to flow and create a mess. The strainer is held in place by friction, all that’s required is a facing fit.
