LKQS35BK Polymer Drain Fitting with Removable Basket Strainer and Rubber Stopper, Black

Sometime during our remodel, the drain that came with the Kraus granite composite workstation sink was misplaced. I looked everywhere locally and couldn't find a suitable black drain so I ordered this Elkay black drain hoping it would match. Elkay has a good reputation for faucets, so I felt the quality would be good, but I was concerned about the color. It looks great, and the instructions were straightforward and easy to follow. Interestingly, they don't recommend using plumber's putty, but instead, silicone. Because there will inevitably be some that is visible, he used black silicone gasket maker and it looks great! (See pics) It has been over a week- no leaks and it matches really well!

This item (black) matches my Kohler Kennon Matte Black Neoroc sink perfectly. The center post is metal, and the whole assembly seems sturdy. For what it's worth, we had 2 Elkay drains + strainers in our Kohler black cast iron sink for 18 years and they performed perfectly, no issues. They were entirely plastic, which was not an impediment to their durability. For those who were having trouble with the gasket and thought the drain sits too high above the level of the sink so that water wouldn't drain, the issue is with the installation. The installation directions are admittedly not the clearest they could be. However, the key is to realize that the gasket is supposed to be installed UNDER THE SINK, NOT ON TOP OF IT. The gasket goes BETWEEN THE UNDERSIDE OF THE SINK AND THE LOWER DRAIN ASSEMBLY. When installed properly, the upper part of the drain assembly (the part you see in the sink, and the part in which the strainer basket sits) sits quite flush with the sink - no issues with water draining. This is a great product; don't hesitate to purchase; install properly.

They product was made with quality in mind they fit my sinks perfect makes the sinks look amazing wish I would have had these when I first did my kitchen but now I have them would not use anything but these the drain stoppers are great and work excellent they work better than standard ones easy insanely also thanks

Perfect

Matched my non elkay sink brand but it does not work for a one drain sink /disposal drain the hole underneath the strainer is segmented.

We tried a couple of different drain cups in our black sink, but they all had problems of one sort of another. Mainly the metal ones chipped to expose bare metal. Some were difficult to seal and would leak when you attempt to fill the sink. These look good, seal well, and have kept their color. Installed them three months ago and they're holding up very well.

High quality. Easy to install. Replaced cracked plastic drain for Corian kitchen sink. Looks great and works perfectly. Really holds the water in the sink. Very happy

Works great with new sink and matches perfect.

Muy fácil de instalar y de excelente calidad, combino muy bien con la tarja blanca de mi cocina

Excellent quality and color, despite not matching the image description for matte finish. The item shipped is glossy

A good enough product- albeit very expensive for what it is, my biggest complaint would be that the central retaining bolt is CHROME - why???

Excellent quality

Perfect match for my granite composite sink. Love the look!
