Check that the gasket is properly seated and that the locking nut is tightened evenly; you may need to re-apply plumber's putty.

Installation of the Thomas Dudley Basket Strainer is straightforward for those with basic plumbing experience. Ensure the sink aperture is clean and free of old sealant before applying a high-quality plumber's putty or a rubber gasket to create a watertight seal. Secure the assembly using the provided locking nut, taking care not to overtighten, which could crack the sink material. For care, avoid using harsh caustic drain cleaners directly on the strainer surface, as these can degrade the finish over time. Periodic cleaning with mild soap and a soft brush will maintain the product’s function and aesthetic appearance for years.
