Bathroom Sink Drain May 08, 2023, 11:13:02 am I'm replacing the drains in the kitchen and bathroom. For the kitchen I got the ones Larry recommended (Houzer 190-4200 2 in. Basket Strainer). What's everyone getting for the bathroom sink? Thanks.jor
Re: Bathroom Sink Drain Reply #1 – May 08, 2023, 01:45:00 pm I'm confused, you are replacing the strainers or the actual drain piping. Either way, what is the benefit?

Now, I need to replace the drain in the shower.Getting the old drains out can be a challenge, they had three holes to grab onto, as opposed to the more common drains with four holes for which there is an off-the-shelf tool for removing.https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-Drain-Removal-Wrench/1002633350I made a three-hole tool for removing the original drains.Sink drain removal tools | FlickrLarry 1 Likes

Re: Bathroom Sink Drain Reply #4 – May 08, 2023, 06:35:00 pm Jor, please post if it was difficult for you to remove the drain fittings, as Larry mentioned above. I’d like to replace our drains too.

Re: Bathroom Sink Drain Reply #6 – May 09, 2023, 11:49:13 am Removing old drains can be easy or very difficult, some drains were glued in place with polyurethane.Our LD's drains were glued in and required a lot of force to remove. The links I provided show the tools I needed to break them lose.Larry
Re: Bathroom Sink Drain Reply #7 – May 09, 2023, 02:00:17 pm Quotesome drains were glued in place with polyurethane.Hoping for the best on the bathroom sink. Guess I got lucky on the kitchen. All I gotta say, is those boys at LD and their goofy caulking mentality needed a good spanking!!! jor
Re: Bathroom Sink Drain Reply #8 – May 09, 2023, 05:00:06 pm Jor… what tool did you use to remove the drains? I don’t have anything like the tool mentioned by Larry up above. TIA
Re: Bathroom Sink Drain Reply #9 – May 09, 2023, 06:57:59 pm I just removed the plastic piping, grabbed the drain stub with a pair of channel locks and twisted it back and forth. Very easy. Had that failed, I was going to take it up a notch with a pipe wrench. And if that didn't do the trick, I was going to grind three notches in a piece of pipe for a down and dirty LarryTool.Check out the two unused faucet holes. For a reason known only to them, the LD guys filled both with caulk! I might end up replacing this sink with a single tub down the line. jor 1 Likes
