So easy to install the sink strainer with one illustration! Here we draw each part of a duo cup sink strainer in sequence as below. From top to bottom, they are basket, strainer body, plumber’s putty, rubber gasket, paper washer, cup, lock nut, PE flange, Tailpiece, and connection nut. Here is the installation step. Step 1> Take some plumber’s putty and roll it a rope. Wrap the plumber’s putty on the sink’s drain opening. Step 2> Press the strainer basket firmly down into the putty. Wipe off the excess putty on the top. Step 3> Slide the rubber gasket and paper washer through the threaded shank. *Paper washer should be under the rubber gasket, so that the lock nut spins freely without getting stuck on the rubber gasket. This can also avoid deformation of the rubber washer. Step 4> Screw the lock nut on the threaded shank firmly. Take a wrench to screw if you need. *Note the direction of the PE flange, tailpiece, coupling nut, P-trap nut and the P-trap ferrule. We indicate the direction of all parts in the drawing above and the drawing below. Check the drawing as below. Step 5> Slide the coupling nut on the tailpiece. Step 6> Put the PE flange on the top of the tailpiece, and screw the coupling nut on the strainer body until they fix firmly. Step 7> Slide the P-trap nut on the tailpiece. *Note the direction. Squeeze the P-trap ferrule on the tailpiece. Screw the P-trap nut to the P-trap firmly. Now, congratulations! You finish the installation!  <back to the Top>
