Solid Brass Basket Strainer with Flange and Tailpiece from the Duostrainer Collection 4.7 5 43 53

looks great Really like this strainer. Only complaint is the box came opened & the rubber gasket was missing so I had to use the gasket from the old drain.I always used a screen strainer but this works just as well. September 17, 2011

EXPENSIVE but solid and looks nice. I was floored to find out that I would buy a $600 sink and then have to pay $100 for the basket strainer. (Would've been TWO of them but we got an insinkerator for one of the bowls.) That said, the basket is definitely well made and the oil rubbed bronze looks quite nice with my faucet. September 6, 2011

Quality Product & Finish "This oiled bronzed finish matched out faucet perfectly and after 4 weeks of use so far, it still looks new." August 11, 2011

Another pleasant purchase! I have used Faucet Direct earlier this year when I remodeled my bathroom, was pleased with every product, and the large selection they carry. I read the customer reviews to guide my purchases. This part has not yet been installed in my new kitchen (soon, I hope) but it looks to be top quality. August 9, 2011

glad I ordered s/s version worth the extra bucks. plumber neglected to use s/s drain pipe included in the strainer so I see white plastic when I look into the strainer. Plumber will correct. June 5, 2011

Worth the Money With the installation of new graite countertops and a new stainless steel sink, I needed a drain to compliment the new look. This was the perfect solution. These drains (I bought two) are attractive and built to outlast me and the rest of my kitchen. They installed easy with no problems. They are defintely worth the money. May 16, 2011

Quality! Although we had to return this piece (we only had one opening in a farmhouse sink and the disposal had to go there!) I wanted to report that it was a quality piece and if needed would be a great value. (Husbands SHOULD listen when their wives ask them if a piece is needed when they are placing an order, rather than just saying yes! lol) April 28, 2011

Quality Expensive, but very solid piece. Works great. Looks a little dark compared to my other oil rubbed bronze parts, but still happy. April 22, 2011

Great Purchase This basket strainer is very sturdy and heavy. I have used it several times and very satisfied. April 21, 2011

very good heavy duty drain - basket good but a little sensitive concerning stopper position April 19, 2011

Have a question about the Kohler K-8801? Ask it here

How do I determine whether I need the strainer with tailpiece or without?

A. Thank you for your question. The need for the tailpiece depends on what kind of installation you are doing. If this is a whole new sink, you will probably need a tailpiece. If you are replacing the strainer in an existing sink, the tailpiece should be fine that is still attached. Please let me know if you have any questions!
