Full details

The CjingCH sink basket strainer screw set is an essential maintenance component for homeowners and professional maintenance technicians looking to repair or replace worn hardware in kitchen sink strainers and basin plugs. These screws offer the primary benefit of standardized compatibility and easy installation for most kitchen plumbing setups, though users should verify their specific strainer model's thread diameter before purchase, as the M12 measurement is critical for a proper fit.

FAQs

Are these screws compatible with all kitchen sinks?

They are compatible with most standard sink basket strainers that utilize an M12 thread. However, you should always measure your existing screw to confirm it matches the 12mm diameter and 45mm length.

What tools do I need for installation?

Depending on the specific screw head design, a standard Phillips or flathead screwdriver is typically sufficient for installation.

Are these screws rust-proof?

They are designed to be water-resistant and durable for kitchen environments, but it is recommended to keep them clean and free of heavy acidic build-up to maintain their longevity.

How many screws come in a package?

The package contains 3 individual screws.

Can I use these for bathroom basins?

These are primarily designed for kitchen sink basket strainers. Bathroom basin pop-up drains often use different threading sizes and mechanisms.

Troubleshooting

Screw will not thread into the strainer housing

Verify that your sink assembly uses M12 threads. If the hole is blocked by hard water deposits, use a small brush and vinegar to clean the interior threads before re-attempting.

Screw head feels loose after installation

Ensure the screw is fully seated in the strainer basket hole. If it continues to feel loose, verify that the strainer gasket is correctly positioned underneath the flange to provide the necessary resistance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High compatibility with most standard market strainers
  • Includes three pieces for multiple repair jobs
  • Sharp threading makes installation quick and smooth
  • Reliable, durable material suitable for constant water exposure

Cons

  • Strict M12 sizing may not fit proprietary or non-standard sink brands
  • Does not include replacement strainers or sealing gaskets
  • Requires precise measurement of existing hardware before purchase

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first remove the old, damaged screw from your sink strainer using a flathead or Phillips screwdriver, depending on the head type. Clear any debris or soap scum from the threads of the strainer body to ensure a smooth fit. Align the new screw through the basket hole and tighten until firm; do not overtighten to avoid stripping the threads.

Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for M12 threaded openings. Always check your existing screw dimensions using a caliper or ruler before ordering to ensure the 45mm length is appropriate for your specific sink depth.

Care: To extend the life of these screws, avoid using harsh industrial-strength chemicals directly on the drain hardware, as this can accelerate corrosion over time. Periodically rinse the screw head to remove food debris and lime scale buildup.
