Hello Teey, Metal nut will work on most standard kitchen sink strainers with drain openings of 3.5 in. to 4 in and measures 4-3/8 in. diameter
Hello Dave, If that is needed to create a better fit and seal for your installation that is okay.
Hello Debi, This item can help with a leak around the sinks drain if there is not a proper seal.
To everyone installing this type of basket: you must apply plumbers putty under the flange then insert it into the sink and press down firmly. Under the sink, install the rubber washer, metal washer, nut, and tighten. Remove excess putty in sink.

Yes, It leaked with me and had to use plumbers putty. I have tried a lot of different one's and always have to use it to keep it from leaking, They need to make a sink that will except a seal from the top, that will be the only way to fix the problem. It is a good nut though.
This item didn't require anything else. We made sure everything was clean and dry before we installed this. Worked for us. Thanks
No I do not think it does. Plumbers putty should be used on the drain basket on top side of sink.
I don’t put it on the underside where the nut goes but I do put it between the sink and basket.
Yes
I used DAP fast dry acrylic latex Caulk plus silicone instead of plumber's putty because mine had dried out and Home Depot was closed. It works just as well as the plumber's putty and was easier to clean up the excess.
First one is cardboard, second rubber, last is metal.
Hello icheckemout, the rubber washer goes against the sink. The fiber washer goes between the metal lock ring and the rubber washer.

it was the best part to fix kitchen sink.
My cheapie experience with this did not go well at first, there are no instructions with the product and the aisle person in the store did not know, either. At first I did not know what to do with the fiber washer, I ended up with that between the top flange of the strainer and the body of the sink. (I now know that that area needs either plumber's putty or some silicone/bathtub type caulk....see 2nd try). Then from underneath I put on the rubber washer and then screwed the large nut onto the strainer. I got it on pretty tight even without a wrench but indeed the rubber gets pushed around a bit without the fiber washer in place. After turning on cold and hot water there was water leaking back under the sink. I realized the rubber washer really does not seal anything, all the sealing is done where the strainer flange rests on the sink basin. On my sink that area was a little beat up from previous owner. So, cheapie means I did not buy anything else, but (2nd try) reinstalled the strainer body flange to the sink with some white kwik-seal kitchen/bath adhesive caulk (my plumber's putty had dried out and was useless). Then I put on the rubber washer and nut, not tightening too much, by hand. Fiber washer was ruined from before. I let the caulk sit 24 hrs before applying water. So far so good, seems to be sealing fine, but I will watch it with a plastic bin underneath the drain.
How do I remove the old metal washer from bottom of sink?
I found using a flat head screw driver to twist the washer on because it hurts your finger but it went on easy
Rubber washer on bottom of sink than place the carboard washer with slippery side facing the nut , the purpose of this is so the nut won't grab and displace the rubber washer
Assembly would be: 1. Drop the strainer into the hole of the sink from above 2. Then from underneath the sink, you first slide on the rubber washer, then the fiber washer, and then you screw the zinc nut to secure the strainer to the body of the sink.
