You said it!

I've watched hundreds if not thousands of DIY how to videos and yours are among the best. I hope you keep making content.

Thank-you for your professional instructions.

Great explanation for the use of plumbers putty and clear start to finish job!

This is a great video. I appreciate the comparison of the different styles of basket strainers.

Excellently done tutorial. Comprehensive and concise. Well done visuals with no vague or extraneous BS. Perfecto!

Fantastic demonstration with great videography and commentary. Every sentence is on topic, clear, concise. The video quality is amazing - everything in focus and the camera is steady. This was the only video I watched to learn how to do this. Thanks so much!

Just what I needed, replacing mine myself this weekend. Thanks!

Thanks. This helped me remove and clean out my science experiment of a sink strainer today. Great explanations.

Just a great video! Thanks, I had a good idea of what to do, but just seeing a pro do it, helps me visualize it in my head and give me the confidence to do the job.

Much appreciated. Great content, well explained, to the point. Very well done, sir!

Thanks a million buddy. Perhaps the best video instructions I have seen on this matter.

Made me realize I needed one more rubber ring before I took apart my sink. It's obviously broken now I understand what's going on down there

Thank you so much for your help we did it by ourselves just because of your help thanks once again keep it up

Thank you so much and for showing the difference between the strainer types. Took guess work out. This is like the missing instructions that should have come with my new sink.

This was exactly what I needed today, thanks a bunch!

Thank you! You are a great teacher.

I stumbled across your videos recently and have watched several since. Excellent production, clear and thorough yet concise explanations, and viewer-friendly demonstrations--stellar videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience 🍻

Excellent demo. Thanks!

Excellent explanation good job Joe thanks 🙏

I liked the easy instructions. Thank you.

Thank you! I couldn't find instructions for the 3rd type of drain & thought I was doing it wrong. Exceptional instructions; easy to follow. .....and done.

Brilliant just what I needed thank you!

You're Welcome! Thanks Stuart!

Thanks for the great explanation!

Fantastic. I had the 3rd type. However the pressure cup was "welded" to the assembly from 20 years of rust. Every other video did not show how all the pieces of the drain assembly went together. So I didn't know that the pressure cup was a separate piece and that it was "welded" to the strainer top. Once I knew that, I could use tools to CUT the pressure cup off from the main strainer assembly. THANKS!!!

Awesome demo!!

Thank you very much! My basket strainer was the one with the screw from the top and I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get the basket off from below. Great help.

Thank you, great presentation and good examples. My old strainer came without putty, maybe it just dispersed but I never had a leak. If understood correctly, the new drainer I purchased needs the putty. As the newer plumbing connections need less and less of any Teflon tape, I wasn't sure if putty was needed. So I've got my answer :) EDIT: I just saw now that you have affiliate links, I definitely would have purchased the pieces, especially Moen... too bad I didn't see your video earlier.

Great video! What type of strainer works best? The one with the large locknut or the one with the metal basket and smaller locknut?

Nice presentation, thank you! Hopefully anyone that follows you, remembers to take out the plastic bag from the drain.

Do you need to put plumber's putty for the plastic type of basket strainer??

Thanks a lot. It saved us $150.

Well done

Many people don't know that installing strainer is easy but we also need the advise of a plumber who is well experienced. The plumber putty helps a lot since it can be formed nice and easy. No mess.👍

thank you very helpful

Hey thanks for the tutorial, one question : for the final example of strainer no need for putty?

The best ❤

if this is the mouse trap guty, you really helping me in my old house

I guess a lot of people are going to see the first type of basket strainer you show, with the bolt. That's what comes with IKEA sinks. Another great video, thanks.

Great demonstration of using the 3 different baskets. It's a little unnerving when you see 3 different styles and scratch your head trying to figure out what the difference is. Your instruction took all the guess work out of my evening sink basket replacement, thank you!

nice video thanks

Thank you very much appreciate you. I have questions for, when i put plumber putty how long i have to waiting? Aslo if its leaking what is the solution please i relly need your answer please

Thanks

HI, We need to replace the basket strainer but we have a PVC/plastic tailpiece. A new tailpiece washer comes with the new strainer. The existing tailpiece has a plastic nut to use in attaching the tailpiece to the bottom of sink strainer. The new basket has a metal nut for the same purpose. Is the metal nut required even when attaching a PVC tailpiece to the bottom of the steel drain basket? If so please explin the benefit of using the metal nut instead of the plastic nut in this example. Thanks for the video and any further input you can provide!

Do the removable nuts that hold the ABS drain line and P-Trap in have washers in them that need to be replaced? Should the washers be replaced and what type of washers are the best leak free choice?

How tight should that large locknut be? The more I tighten it, the more putty comes out from the top around the hole. Is it possible to tighten so much that you squeeze out all the putty?

@BillySBC

The strainer nut is made of aluminum, so if you tighten it too much it will strip and then you'll need a new one.

Is there a way to prevent pooling around the flange? There seems to be a slight lip that prevents all the water from draining all the way...is this something that is normal and I never noticed before?

But how tight do you go? I've put it on too loose so the putty eventually breaks away as well as too tight where I've squeezed out the rubber gasket. Is the goal to get metal to metal contact up top?

Hello I would like to know what make is the plastic sink basket, purchased a house and 1 is missing would like to purhase just the basket if possible. It has the long stem with the 2 grooves. Thank you.

👍 nice

The taps in my bathroom have a slight drip, can you do a video showing how to replace them or change the washers please? :) :)

Curious....you didn't show the 4th type of strainer(the ones with 3 thumb screws or Philips screws) Which appeared to be nice because the basket won't spin when you're tightening it.... But I don't know I've never used one. Of the strainers that you did showcase which one seems to be the best?

Great

Could u pls help me in any way to get me know the process of threading sink coupling

I need to how you guys give threading on it

My sink is leaking right at this moment..i looked at this video and i am going to fix it. Thanks so much

Why not use another rubber washer in place of the plumber's putty? I'm so sick of the putty failing and causing leaks after a year or two. I'm ready to try something different, like I described above. What is your opinion? I can't imagine this idea failing as fast as the putty, if at all.

I got an Elkay drain and it’s the one without the putty per your video but the instructions indicate to use putty. What’s your thoughts? Is that standard to use the putty now? I noticed in one comment mentioned not to use both but Elkay of course has the one which goes again this in the instructions. Appreciate the vid

Actually figured it out gasket goes on top of drain housing from underneath and putty on top sink flange area. Thanks for the video

super

I like the plastic model

Great video, I wish mine came out that easy. After who knows how many years my basket leaked, I went to touch the lock nut, and the whole tail piece just fell off. The problem is the basket and cup do not want to release themselves from the sink. On a side note, I wish there was one with a way to stop my wife from putting food in the drain and wondering why it gets clogged all the time...

When installing the new fixture, you can use the needle nose pliers from the bottom instead of the top to make it an easier reach.

I bought a new sink with no directions included. The strainer has both a foam gasket and a rubber gasket. After watching this video I'm assuming the foam gasket goes above the sink and the rubber gasket goes below, and no plumbers putty is needed. Does that sound correct??

Ridgid makes a tool to help hold basket strainers sink supply lines turn valves off you can get them at Home Depot for about 20.00

does it come with the tailpiece or do you have to buy it separately? And also i have abs pipes where can i get the abs nut to tighten it to the tailpiece

@PROSDIY

Most strainers come with the tail piece, but always double check as some models they are not included. Most hardware stores will carry the "abs nut". Ask for a 1 1/2" ABS trap adaptor.

Best so far but still going thru it so fast visuals are everything perhaps showing the nut that lifts basket into place as well as the nut that secures to drain each going different directions getting the ring of paper under the rubber gasket to line up the same time your tightening in place nothing can slip outta place tightening the basket squishing out the extra putty giving it a tight fit without over tightening….. girl power today 🥲👏🏻👍

Are sink drain openings standard? So that any drain plug can fit in any sink?

Does the screw ensemble model need plumbers puddy or is the washer provided enough....you were not clear on if all three assemblies needed plumbers pudy or not when connecting to sink....sorry, its my first time using the screw ensemble model....

@PROSDIY

Different models will come with different methods to seal the top flange. Either a foam gasket or thin rubber gasket which can take the place of the plumber's putty. Some plumbers just throw the foam gasket or thin rubber gasket away and use plumber's putty, because that's what they are used to. I wouldn't use 2 methods though. Only use the supplied gasket or plumber's putty, not both. In the end it's your call.

Thank you for your answer, it was a little late so I just threw the foam seal out and went with the puddy... Not a big fan of this screw assembly model, I don't know, I am kind of old fashioned when it comes to replacement parts...( I learned how to do this in high school home owners class for an extra credit,,,,taught us to change our own oil, rotate the tires, fix the lawn mower and repair plumbing...best class I ever took as I actually learned things I can use in real life! Keep up the videos, you are helping housewives and sissy men learn to be useful

Be careful not to overtighten the strainer nut because the thing is made of aluminum and it will strip out and you'll need to get a new one.

Some guy on u tube does not use putty just rubber seal.( U get 2 rubber seals). Also some drains r deeper.

Could I use 100% waterproof silicone instead of plumbers putty?

Absolutely. Many plumbers use silicone instead of plumber's putty. It's just a personally preference.

You are using plumbers putty, what about if no plumbers putty available? What is the purpose of gaskets? Nice video thou.. Thanks

Very nice job. The problem with a lot of plumbers is that they're NOT plumbers which gives the good ones like yourself a bad name.

Don't know who engineered this stuff, but I always get leaks with plumber's putty and rubber washer with paper friction disc. After everything leaks, whether small or large leaks, the paper friction disc disintegrates. One would think manufacturers could do better, or I'm doing something completely wrong.

Great video. Take the plastic bag out of the drain before reassembly :-o

fucking aye thanks for the help

I would just go out and get a drain wrench there not much money but to each there own

mostly d screw get rusted in middle of d basin....to open get hard work...
