P ONeill fantastic! Thanks for your input. The video product reviews are still a new thing for us, so I really do appreciate it. The real benefit to the fisher drains will show itself after long term use when you won’t have to fix them as often. -Tim

Either direction.

Why thank you.

Loosemouth Cowboy sadly we’ve seen MUCH worse 😂😂😂

Look at the manufacturer

Randolph Ramirez Randolph Ramirez different strainer options. It might be best to put a mesh strainer there to catch everything. Better food practices about scraping before it gets to the sink. And then sometimes depending on where you are, commercial disposers.

If i take out the stoper can the drain still work..

Randolph Ramirez , if you remove it, it would just become a free flow drain. You’d have to leave the handle there. But the other issue is now you’re sending everything down the drain and now it’s just creating an entirely different issue. Unfortunately this is less of a plumbing issue that you’re having and more of a training the kitchen staff what’s appropriate to send into the sinks and down the drains. Without fixing that main issue, you are going to have worse problems needing your waste lines snaked and jetted. What might seem like a good immediate idea is actually just creating a worse problem in the end. There’s a lot of expensive options that catch debris down the line (waste traps or interceptors) but those need constant cleaning and maintenance as well. So the real answer isn’t how to I keep the drain from clogging. But how to not clog it to begin with. Doing that will drastically reduce visits from the plumber to band aid what the real issues are.

Oooooof. I’ve seen some of the cheaper quality ones sheer right in half.

Ive done that too!

wreckingballpi Might be a po plug. Or all thread drain. Usually 1” or 1 1/4” in size.

@@atshelp its bigger than that. I'm browsing your web catalog... could it be a floor sink?

wreckingballpi Send me a picture. Tim@atssupply.com

Vaticider69 it’s one of those strange things. Putty never creates a seal, it’s used to fill gaps. There is nothing about the nature of putty that is waterproof or water tight. Seal might be misleading but I would recommend filling the gap. Some sink bevels are more severe than others. And over time, especially when these drains get beat up over long periods of time, I like to think of the silicone as a good back up if or when the nut gets loose underneath. Levers get bumped, drains turn out of place. Extra protection is never a bad thing.

Good point on the wording of it.... The brand we use ....escapes me atm... but the top threads are so shallow putty was too frustrating silicone messy...but good for keeping food debris from penetrating and rotting in there..
