Q:What is difference between ST-1 strainer and the ST-1B Strainer?.
by|Jul 9, 2019
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A:Â Hi Eagle,
Thanks for your inquiry.
The only difference is the screw on our ST-1B is 1/4" longer as it is designed to be used with our Granite Sink. All other aspects between these items are identical.
Please feel free to reach out to us at 800-775-0703 or email us at customerservice@kraususa.com with any questions.
Happy to assist.

Get a quarter ready!
My mom wanted to replace her garbage disposal with pipes. This strainer appealed to me bc the bottom is heavy duty plastic, not metal which will corrode over time in a humid Florida kitchen. Thankfully, I read the reviews, because the guy who mentioned using a quarter to tighten the screw was clutch advice! I would have been cursing up a storm trying to use a flathead screwdriver…it won’t be wide enough, but the quarter was the perfect size!! No putty, no leaks! Thank you, clutch guy!

Quick Easy Improvement of our Old Sink.
We love these kitchen strainers. We bought these to replace some very old, ugly, deteriorating strainers in the 140 year old house we bought. We were debating whether to replace the entire sink or just the strainers and decided to hold off, and just go with the strainers and faucet. It made a huge difference in the appearance of the sink. Sink still looks old but it's much better than before. Very easy to install and fit perfectly.

Stainless Steel Strainer gasket
I installed two Kraus sinks in my new kitchen about two years ago. I love them even though the square corners in their bottoms require frequent cleaning unlike on the sinks that are more rounded in the bottom. On the main sink in my kitchen, the secure gasket on the strainer has worn out and started falling apart. I wanted to replace it, but could not find any rubber gaskets on this website. I feel that it is not right to replace the whole strainer just because of the rubber gasket wears out so quickly.

Not all stainless steel. Screw is rusting already
Only in service for about six months. I used plumbers putty instead of the rubber gasket because I'm old fashioned and I wanted a tight finished look in the sink bottom. However, this is a "shell" design and you technically would not need putty or the gasket. That is because any water that gets under the flange goes right into the shell of the unit, which is sealed to the drain. So instead of the water seal being in the bottom of the sink under the flange, the actual water seal is underneath the sink where the shell of this unit makes contact to the underside of the sink. As far as the design, it's great... this deep basket catches everything very well. As far as the shell, leaks are less likely, but I believe you might get crud or slime buildup inside the shell. The shell is hollow between the inside metal pieces and the outside plastic pieces. Gravity takes water down, but if crud or slime decides to stay inside that shell and grow, nothing would be able to stop it or flush it out. You would have to take it apart and manually clean.
As you can see from my photo, the screw-nut inside that holds everything together is starting to get rust pits. This is very disappointing and this part should also be made from stainless steel. I wonder how long before it’s so rusted it either falls apart or cannot be unscrewed.

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear that our BST-1 didn't meet your expectations.
Our drains are constructed of stainless steel but do have some plastic parts such as the tail piece and plastic nut.
I would also be happy to assist any way I can and offer a replacement strainer along with answer any additional questions you may have.

Love this strainer!
My Kraus sink came with a deep strainer basket on one side, however due to my existing plumbing, I was not able to use it (depth exceeded plumbing pipes). So I ordered a duplicate Kraus strainer for the other sink. What I like is that the strainer doesn't "lock" unless you push down in the center. In other words, it can spin 360 degrees, but doesn't drop into the lock position unless you push it down. Because Kraus makes such nice products, it's nice and shiny and is super easy to clean.

I've installed a lot of sink strainers over the years,...
I've installed a lot of sink strainers over the years, but I think this was the easiest install I've ever had. No plumbers putty or silicone required, just take it apart, fit it in, and put it back together. The only tools are a screwdriver to tighten the center screw, and a wrench to tighten the nut for the tailpiece. Very quick install, and so far no leaks, so I'm very happy. It was a couple of bucks more, but with the ease of installation, well worth it. I'll definitely use this Kraus strainer again in the future.

Great to replace later when it breaks
They never last. You want to install one that will be easy to replace 10 years down the road. This is what you want. It's also the best thing if you have hard water since everything that screws it together is plastic and can be easily cut. No worries about having to torch it or take a sawzall to it in the future.
Also it's very easy to install and you don't need putty.
