Elkay 72002160 Basket Sub-Assembly Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink Strainer

The Elkay 72002160 is a genuine replacement basket sub-assembly designed for Elkay kitchen sink drain systems. This basket is compatible with Elkay models LK35, LK35B, and LK35L, providing a direct factory replacement for worn or damaged strainer baskets.

Key Features:

• Removable conical basket strainer constructed of stainless steel
• Metal stem construction for enhanced durability
• Heavy-duty rubber stopper with protective metal shield
• Redesigned bottom clip mechanism for improved locking function
• Chrome-plated brass components with stainless steel finish

This updated basket assembly replaces older models that used a spring-loaded ball bearing mechanism. The modern design features improved durability and a more secure fit while maintaining full compatibility with existing Elkay drain assemblies. The conical basket design effectively catches food debris while allowing water to drain freely, and the integrated stopper provides reliable drain closure when needed.
