How To Install A Kitchen Drain

how to install a kitchen drain

We recommend consulting professional help if you are unfamiliar with installing kitchen fixtures.

Tools and Materials:

Basin Wrench

Damp Cloth

Silicone Sealant
(100% neutral cure)

	Step 1
	Disassemble the sink drain assembly and lay the parts aside, in the same order in which they were removed. See the illustration as a reference if needed.

	Step 2
	Apply a bead of 100% neutral cure silicone sealant to the underside of the strainer body.

	Step 3
	Insert the strainer body into the kitchen sink. Firmly press the flange into the drain hole to create a proper seal. Wipe away any excess sealant around the drain using a damp cloth.

	Step 4
	From underneath your sink, slide on the rubber washer, followed by the friction washer, followed by the strainer cup. Hold in place, pressed against the sink.

	Step 5
	Thread the lock nut onto the strainer body. Hand-tighten until secure, then finish tightening with a basin wrench. Important: If installing your drain into a fireclay sink, or a sink with porcelain enamel, do not overtighten, as it can crack or break your sink.

	Step 6
	Secure the strainer body to your P-trap using the plastic washer and compression nut.
