This is how to do a DIY video... straight to the point without a long intro, the shopping list... and the fact you sped up the film. So often I speed up playback because I don't want to waste time watching some guy doing the obvious and mundane stuff of his repair. THIS is how videos like this should be done. Another youtube video demonstrating this same repair took 17 minutes! Subscribed...

Do you happen to have a link to the basket strainer assembly kit that you used? I couldn't find it anywhere in the video or comments section. Thanks again for a great video.

Thank you for a great video (the speedy scrubbing made me laugh out loud!) If I can do the little jobs myself, I keep my property in good shape and only bother my landlord for the major repairs. Without your help and advice (& the knowledge on whether it's a job I can do properly) I'd be stuck. Big thanks!

Which kit did you use

FINALLY! I just needed the order of the parts because I couldn't figure out why things weren't going together right. The chalkboard diagram saved my sanity. It shouldn't have been this hard. I've done plenty of bathrooms but my Kitchen sink was driving me nuts. Two different basket with different thread sizes didn't help .. one just was a poor design. Brass nuts deteriorated. aaaahh.

Just wanted to say how well this video is edited! I've been through so many other DIY videos which either don't speed things up and take forever to watch, or they don't explain or teach very well what they are doing or give useful advice while they're working. I hope you make lots more of these type videos and keep up the good work.

As a beginner watching this, with little-to-no plumbing experience (beyond using a toilet plunger), I wish the video _didn’t_ cut around so fast ... I agree that watching somebody screw a nut for 45 seconds can be excessive & annoying, but I think there’s a happy medium between that, and editing it like a music video, haha. :)

So I put the putty in from the top. Thank you. I'm having that exact problem.

Have you ever had a top hat gasket that seemed to be too big, restricting water flow? The top hat gasket that came with my brand new stainless steel sink is rubber and fits inside of the drain pipe perfectly, but seems to block quite a bit of the strainer's already small openings, resulting in occasionally slow drainage that is not caused by a blockage in the drain itself.

Ooo that putty. I've been wondering what I've missed. Thanks!

Great video, well done. I don't tighten mine quite as much as you did, I don't want to squeeze too much of the putty out. The putty is the seal, if you overtighten until metal on metal then the seal is lost. Thanks for making this video.

The video was both filmed and narrated very clearly. Well done! My only question is: will the putty seal tear (and maybe leak) if you allow the strainer to turn a little when you are tightening the basket nut with the wrench, as I see happening at 2:25?

@repairs101

+hawaiidispenser - It hasn't leaked yet, but you're right to suspect that outcome. Best to keep it still when tightening. Thanks for commenting!

Just installed the basket strainer on our new country sink and its leaking under the basket strainer. I checked the instructions and no where did is say to use some silicon or plumbers putty? Did they just assume that everyone knew that? Should I take it apart and use some silicone or plumbers putty to seal the basket strainer to the sink?

Thanks good info
