Moen Kitchen Sink Strainer Basket with Drain Assembly, Stainless Steel, 22036

Fit exactly as expected. Was of better quality than what was originally installed in sink. Glad I purchased this item. The included basket seal perfectly. Catches food and other stuff for easy removal. Lives up to Moen name. Purchased from Amazon because of ease of delivery and didn’t have to wonder around the big box home improvement stores hoping to find it

Good quality

I used one on a sink drain that I had to cut off the old one because it was rusted so bad. I works like a charm and is much better than the old style. Just received another one for the same issues on a different house.

It has been installed for almost a week, and it is very good, the quality is also very good!

Great way to fix old strainer and freshen up the sink's look.

Fits perfectly and the quality is great! Color is exact and it looks great!

Excellent product. This newer design does not require the use of plumbers putty and is easy to install. Older designs that require plumbers putty would last a few years before developing a slow leak. Time will tell if this new one will leak.

There is already a three star review titled "Fine basic sink Strainer but not great", and I will second this opinion. Let's talk about the good: 1. The drain assembly is installed using a cup underneath the sink and a 2 inch nut that can be turned with Channellock pliers, pushing the cup against the rubber gasket/sink, tightening the entire assembly. No special Sink Drain Wrench is needed. This design is also good because the cup does not turn during the tightening and thus does not tend to twist away the gasket under the sink. This makes a good seal. 2. It is an inexpensive drain assembly, with the quality being decent for the price. 3. The drain assembly comes with a second thinner gasket, that you can use instead of the Plumber's Putty. I do NOT recommend using Plumber's Putty under kitchen drains. it can be dissolved (broken down) by water over time. Personally, I put silicone between the drain assembly and the sink, effectively gluing it in. This does not raise the drain in a way a gasket would, and also prevents it from turning later on when the waste pipe is attached or detached. So while this second gasket is of no use for me, you might want to use it. 4. The drain assembly comes with a washer and a nut for attaching the waste pipe. Now let's talk about what's not so great: 1. The above-mentioned review by Music Pro has already talked about the spring clip strainer basket design. Personally, I do not find it being bad. In fact I prefer it to fixed post design of some other drain assemblies, where you turn the strainer basket 90 degrees to fall in the drain assembly to stop the water drainage. This can happen by an accident. With the spring clip design, you at least need to consciously push the strainer to stop the water flow. It is not great though, and I just end up not using the strainer basket in any case. Instead, I put a dollar store basket with many small holes in it. 2. While there is a washer and a nut for the waste pipe, the nut is yellow plated zinc. In my young years, I would use it. These days, I throw zinc nuts away and use brass. Zinc nuts can crack if they make contact with water due to a tiny leakage, resulting in a bigger leakage. 3. This is my personal peeve - you may not care about it - the cross of the stainless steel strainer is located at the bottom of the drain assembly. There is an inch and a quarter deep shaft before the strainer. Why do I need it? If a piece of food gets in there, it will be hard to take out. A better design would move the cross up about an inch. Also, if you wonder what is the difference between model 22036 (this model) and 22037, the later one has a fixed post strainer basket design and under-the-sink gasket only. It is essentially the same otherwise. The total depth of both drain assemblies is two and a half inches.

Looked good but fit was off for me.

- great quality - comes with all the pieces you need - the actual drain piece is much deeper than what i think is standard/normal

This worked exactly as advertised. It was easy to install, and the stainless steel should prevent it rushing out like the previous one did.

Good basic drain. Description should say it's for bar sink. Deeper drain model is for kitchen sink. I still installed on kitchen sink and had no complaint from tenant. Moen has been great with warranty claims on their other products.

Satisfaite
