Kraus Sink Strainer and Drain Assembly Installation

Join Mike as he demonstrates how to install a Kraus kitchen sink Strainer and Drain Assembly.

Model BST is shown for this video, however, these instructions can be used for any Kraus kitchen sink strainer.

Note: Kraus Kitchen Sink Drain Assemblies are compatible with standard 1 1/2 inch drain piping.

Highly recommend these. My enamel sink is atleast 30 years old and probably warped. Never could get a proper seal on the right side with putty and standard drain. I think the previous owners had a garbage disposal at one time. I also had a brass and copper strainer. The left was original and still sealed fine with putty. Finally installed one of these on the right and it’s been holding scalding hot water for over an hour. Not one drop. This will help with any sink that may have imperfections.

I wish all brands would use gaskets instead of putty and or silicone for basket installs. It would make it so much easier cleaner and faster for us installers. With todays tech and material advancements there is no excuse anymore. You guys make some of the best stuff on the market for extremely competitive prices.

Would be helpful if you showed a tailpiece being attached. The washer is the same size as a 1-1/2” standard tailpiece. Doesn’t fit around or in it. How are the nut and washer supposed to be attached?

Worth every penny, I cannot be happier with my new Kraus sink. The gaskets are wonderful, I was wondering if I would need putty or not as the instructions that came with the sink didn't specify. Installation was very easy, hardest part was fitting the sink into the counter top for me.

The sink was professionally installed but doing the plumbing myself. Having this tutorial is so helpful, thank you!

[andredivine]

Wow! You guy's really care about your customers. Thank you!

You know you’re getting old when you have strong opinions about sink strainers 😂

But this thing is awesome! Not having to use plumber putty or silicone has saved me so much time and headache.

Thanks Kraus 👍🏻

Our drain screw was not properly tightened upon purchase and had been lightly leaking off and on and this clearly explained how to fix that very clearly and also the rest of the setup. Thank You for providing this video.

Thank you for the detailed instructions. I didn’t know there was a screw and when I checked ours it was so loose that water was leaking below. This is a brand new house and it hasn’t even been a year and I am so glad you posted this video. Yours was the only one I found. TYFS!

So, you don’t have to use too much force when tightening the screw with a coin? some input on this would be appreciated

After 7 years my Kraus sink is leaking now, I'm assuming I have to replace the gaskets? And where can I buy these replacement gaskets?
