Hi Guys,

Happy new year!

Would you please help me pick out a Kitchen Sink Strainer
for my (thin) stainless steel kitchen sink.

I currently have a Jaclo Brass Duo Strainer for Kitchen Sinks
Model Number: 2806-PCH installed in it. https://www.jaclo.com/detail/brass-duo-strainer-for-kitchen-sinks-2806-

I wish to replace it with

[1] a stainless steel unit. Be nice if the under sink
hardware was also stainless steel.

[2] a gasket. NO PLUMBERS PUTTY !!!!

[3] long lived

[4] toolless, but will compromise if the above
are met.

Many thanks,
-T

[1] the retaining bolt is in the water flow. I wonder
is there is a corrosion problem?

[2] when installing the unit, how do you keep the
underside hardware from coming down on your head
until the retaining bolt is attached from above?

Anyone know of a better solution?

That is only the strainer. I need what goes under it.

Nothing. The original tubing.

I have both, on the same sink. Sometimes I use one or the other.

It requires plumber's putty. Dang!

My tiny stainless steel sink experiences slight
flexes and as the plumber's putty ages, the flexing
cracks the plumber's putty and the sink starts to leak.

That is the problem with the Jaclo 2806-PCH, plus
the chrome plating wears off and it looks like ...

Thank you anyway.

What if you added a second gasket/washer under the flange, with no putty
. You can buy them at any hardware store.

Looking at the installation doc, it seems to me they expect this to be a
2 person job. 1 to hold the underneath parts in place while other turns
the screw from above !!

If the screw/bolt is SS, corrosion should be no more a problem than the
rest of the strainer.

Hmmmm. Maybe I install it on the end of the pipe and
duct tape in place until it is screwed in from above.
