Elkay Polymer Drain Fitting with Removable Basket Strainer - Color

Our review of the Elkay Polymer Drain Fitting finds it best suited for homeowners or remodelers who want a neat, coordinated finish for an Elkay Quartz Classic or Quartz Luxe sink. The single biggest reason to buy is its color matched, infused polymer construction which keeps the drain looking uniform with the sink without worrying about paint or coating chipping. This review focuses on fit, durability, and day-to-day use so you can decide whether a color matched drain and practical basket strainer are worth adding to your installation.

Key Features

• Color match: The drain is available in 16 hues so it can visually blend with Elkay quartz sinks for a coordinated kitchen or laundry area.
• Polymer construction: Material is infused with color so the finish will not chip or scratch off from regular use, keeping the sink area consistent over time.
• Basket strainer and stopper: The removable strainer captures food and waste while the rubber stopper allows you to fill the sink for washing and soaking tasks.
• Durable and corrosion resistant: The polymer fitting resists corrosion for long-lasting performance in wet sink environments.
• Standard drain opening: Designed for sinks with a 3-1/2' drain opening, making it an easy direct replacement for compatible Elkay sinks.
• Easy cleaning: The fitting can be cleaned by hand with mild detergent and a soft cloth, simplifying maintenance.

Who It's For

This drain fitting is ideal for anyone installing or updating an Elkay Quartz Classic or Quartz Luxe sink who wants a seamless, color matched look without relying on painted finishes. It suits homeowners, interior contractors, and kitchen remodelers who prefer simple, practical accessories that blend with sink surfaces.

It is less appropriate for buyers who need a metal drain for an exact metallic finish or those with nonstandard drain openings. Also, if advanced trap or disposal adapters are required for a custom plumbing layout, check compatibility before ordering.
