Plumb Pak/Keeney Mfg 1443-1SS Keeney Basket Stra Iner Stopper

This stopper really does the job. The spring action of the center "post" is the key to the awesome performance. That feature holds the stopper down and seals the drain perfectly when I want it to hold water. Many sink stoppers can do that to some degree. The really cool thing is that you can raise the stopper just enough to let the sink drain, but still filter all of the food scraps. This is important for those with a septic system since food going down the drain is an extra load on the system. My old stopper was a Keeney, so the fit was perfect for me. The old stopper that I replaced didn't have the spring center post so it was just a standard stopper and its performance was semi-adequate. I'm really impressed with how the simple spring action of the center post enhances the performance beyond what I expected.

The basket strainer replacement for my Kohler kitchen sink required one with the longer spring clip. All of the strainers in my local hardware store or home improvement stores only had the shorter spring clips less than one inch long! Since there is only one photo of this Keeney Basket Stainer shown without any measurements, I could not tell how long the spring clip measured. I initially passed over this strainer but later viewed it again. Fortunately, in the customer questions and answers, one potential custome did ask how long the spring clip was and one customer answered that it is 1 5/8 inches long from the stopper. So, I immediately placed an order for one and am very happy to report that it fits my sink drain perfectly! It drains well and the stopper seals tightly when the strainer is pressed down. Therefore, I highly recommend this quality built Keeney Basket Strainer! I have attached four photos showing the spring clip length, the basket diameter, my kitchen sink drain with the slot for the long spring clip and the strainer installed.

Hard to find the longer sink clip. This was the highlight of my day when I actually found it and once received. Great product.

I read the reviews where they said that finally had found the perfect long water stopper and I hoped it was true. It really is long! Have a commercial three sink and need long stopper, I finally found it. I bought extras just to make sure I never run out.

Fits my older sink well
