Why this tailpiece matters for your kitchen setup
This 1.5" brass tailpiece provides a robust path from the sink strainer to the trap, offering superior durability over plastic alternatives and resisting corrosion from everyday use and water exposure. The 12" length is a practical fit for many standard under-sink layouts, helping to maintain proper drain alignment and reducing the risk of leaks or misalignment over time.
Use cases and compatibility
- Replacing an aging or damaged plastic tailpiece with a brass, chrome-plated option for improved longevity.
- Retrofits in kitchen sink installations where a 1-1/2" drain connection and a flanged interface are required.
- New installations that benefit from a durable, easy-to-clean tailpiece with a secure flange connection.
Practical tips for installation and care
- Verify your drain system uses a 1-1/2" tailpiece and accepts a flanged connection before installation.
- Since washers are not included, ensure you have the appropriate washers or gaskets on hand for a proper seal.
- Wipe the chrome finish with a soft cloth to maintain its shine and prevent mineral buildup.
- If needed, the tailpiece can be shortened to fit unique sink configurations, using standard tubing-cutting methods and ensuring a secure seal at the flange.
