Hi there RV and camper owners, today we're going to be taking a look at LaSalle Bristol's replacement kitchen sink drain with strainer. This is the 1 13/16ths diameter size in a chrome finish. When performing repairs on a leaky sink or upgrading from old outdated sink and faucet fixtures to new modernized ones, when replacing your sink assembly, you're going to need new drains. Or if the drains that you have in your current sink are leaking and you've got moisture down in the cabinetry below, and you can tell that it's coming from around your piping there, it's likely coming from the drain here. You can just reseal those, but your gaskets and stuff can get worn out. You're going to have to likely replace those anyway.

So with this unit, you're going to get the gaskets and all the hardware you need to get this installed.The only thing you're going to need is some plumbers putty to seal around the outside here where the top lip sits down inside of your sink. And if you're replacing your sink, the new sink's likely not going to have your drains in it, and while you can reuse your old ones as long as there is the right size, they're likely not going to match with your nice new clean sink. So why have a stained old drain in there when you can get yourself a nice new one and have a nice beautiful new setup in your RV or camper These do come as a quantity of one. So if you have a double sink, you'll want to make sure you get one for each side, the included strainer basket will help keep small debris and food particles and things like that from getting down and clogging up the pipes in your system. After you're done in here, you can just pull the little cup out and you can empty out any of the debris inside.You can see we've got holes down at the bottom to let moisture pass through, but it's not a very big gap there so most of the debris is going to stay in the basket and the water is going to pass through.

And we've also got slits here on the side and you can see it's a pretty good fit around the outside. So most of that debris is going to stay inside this basket while the water passes through the side slits and goes down, which gives us pretty quick draining when we've got it in the release position. We're going to go ahead and turn the water on full blast here.And we can see that our sinks not really going to fill up, it's going to be able to drain nice and quick. And if we're wanting to fill this up so we can put some dishwashing liquid in and get some dishes cleaned up, on the bottom, we have these little raised sections here. We did have it just in the open position, which has the raised sections sitting on the cross section.

We twist it just a little bit, those will drop down inside, and the seal is now up against the bottom, which will allow it to fill up with water. You'll receive everything you need except for the plumber's putty to get this installed. You can see here on the bottom, we've got the gaskets that go on the bottom side, those little black ones there, as well as the paper washer and the nut that secures it to the sink. There's also a gasket that comes with it that goes down inside of our pipe here.And it does come with a nut here as well. If you have a pipe that you need this with to slide over your pipe to screw on here, but in most cases, your pipes down here is already going to have one made onto it.

And this is just a standard size. It's going to thread right onto there. We went ahead and replaced our sink drains and faucet fixtures here to modernize this RV. So if you want to stick along with us to see how we've got everything installed and give you the confidence so you can do it at home yourself.Today we're going to be putting new drains in, but we're not just going to put them in this sink, we're going to be replacing it with another sink as well as our faucet. So you can see why we're replacing our components here. The silicone that's around our sink is starting to deteriorate. It really doesn't look very pleasing to the eye. And once it starts to deteriorate like this, moisture can get down behind the sink and leak down behind your cabinets and you won't even know it. If you have moisture around up here, when you're washing dishes or anything, and you get some splashes, that can all lead to mold and mildew behind your cabinets there. Down inside we also have our seals here around our drains that really look pretty cruddy. And you can get some leakage around these as well. And that also leads to that mildew and
