Kraus Kitchen Sink Strainer for 3.5-Inch Drain Openings in Black, PST1-BL

Matches my black granite Kraus sink and black Kraus faucet. It’s a very hard plastic with metal fittings. I can’t speak to the ease of install but I do wish my plumber had used a black sealant. Just push down slightly and twist (to the right) to close the drain. In that second picture you can see the metal piece that has a small bead on it - I believe that’s what’s locking in place as you can hear the metal rubbing as you do that. Makes me wonder if this will last or not and if so, for how long. If it’s a short time - I’ll report it here. As of April 2023, loving it!

Fit great in my Kraus sink. Don’t know why they don’t ship black drains with black sinks.Anyway easy install and looks great.

I had doubts when I received this strainer because it was not metal but it actually looks beautiful with the black sink and is very good quality. The plumber even commented on how nice it looked. It was a big improvement to the silver strainer the sink came with.

I was replacing metal strainers whose black paint had chipped off in less than 6 months. We have a black acrylic double sink. I was concerned that these polymer (plastic) drains would look cheap comparatively, but now that they are installed, they look at perform great! The installation was different than any previous strainers I have installed - instead of ring fastener that compresses the halves from under the sink this unit has a hollow bolt that tightens the halves together. The hollow bolt has notches to use for tightening but the span across the bolt is wider than the largest flat-head screwdriver I own; I was able to tighten the bolt by slanting the screwdriver. There was no need to use plumber's putty with this unit as the upper and lower washers provide an excellent seal. I tested the seal with cold and hot (but not boiling) water, running and draining with a 4-inch depth and did not have any leaks. One reviewer commented about the white plastic pipe being visible, but with the strainers in place (normal operation) the white inside plastic is not visible as you can see in the photos

They match our sink. Easy to install and maintain. Thank you. Great price too.

Exactly as described. looks sharp in our white sink! Be aware, as some of the other reviewers said, you can see white plumbing through the drain. So if this will both you, choose different color piping or pass on this. Nothing that bothers me though!

Me agrado el producto llegó rápido y en perfectas condiciones

This didnt work for me and I couldnt return. The circumference is too large for my sink hole. I had thought that sink holes were universal but apparently not. Pay attention to the circumference/diameter of your sink hole and compare to the product before you buy. I also did not like the white plastic that shows thru the black. It sort of defeats the whole purpose of buying a black one.
