I have one of those silcone sink stoppers. Will this stick out, preventing it from suctioning to sink properly?

This device collects food particles and prevents them from getting into your drain. It does not act as a sink stopper. If you want to use your "silicone sink stopper" simply lift out the Oxo sink strainer when you want to fill the sink with water.

Yes. I had to buy a separate stopper, then remove the strainer if i want to fill the sink.

I had the same problem. What I do now..fill the blue bowl (I know, obvious) then place it somewhere firm, like on the counter. Put the bottom and tighten it just till it makes contact, do not over tighten, I use one finger to screw it on. Then press down around the edges of the bottom piece firmly so it slides on and then tighten the rest of the way. But again, do not over tighten, turn just till it makes contact. Hold it over the sink to be sure it does not leak. It will come off almost as easily. Had mine for almost 2 years now and no problems.

That's the reason I bought it for our kitchen sink. It works fine! Youpp just have to keep the rubber stopper down as the water starts to flow into the tub. The incoming water may pull the stopper up. Give it a minute and the pressure will keep it down. Works great.

It should stay. Mine has a smaller reveal. The rubber on each end holds it well.

This is a strainer basket and sink stopper and is designed to work with a garbage disposal. The stopper really works well and I think the basket is a much better design than the traditional strainer basket most sinks use. I have two of these with garbage disposals and recommend them. If you have a garbage disposal this is the correct strainer. If you don't have a disposal this is not the correct strainer. This may be the link to the one you want.

If the top of the strainer doesn't stick up too far above the rim of the drain, there are round, floppy, rubber stoppers of about 5"-6" in diameter and about 1/8" thick that can be found at many dollar stores, etc., that one just plops down over the opening and the weight of the water pretty much holds it in place. In fact, that is what we old-timers used before they came up with the strainer/stoppers.

If you received the correct item, it mounts directly to the sink with a large retainer nut and gasket. If I remember correctly they recommend sealing with silicon caulk as well. The unit uses a standard flanged tailpiece to connect to the trap. If the retainer isn't present, you may have the push in decorative strainer designed to push into insinkerator garbage disposals to match the black sink.

My sink opening is 3 1/4 inches. It works well in my sink. The outer edges of the rubber ring are flexible, and the non-flexible portion is less than 3 inches. My gut says it'll probably work but I can't tell for sure. I tried to find a 3 inch opening in one of my other drains and couldn't find one. Good luck!

No it won't hang from the sides of my sink. It is not wide enough. I have a standard double sink.

I think it would stick half way out of the hole. I don't screw mine in so it kind of floats around in the filter basket and it works as good as the more expensive ones.

On the rim it kind of has a little hump in the middle and tapers up and down. Just a slight bit. I have an Insinkerator garbage disposal and it fits great over it. The rim of the garbage disposal is just slightly bigger than the strainer. I love it because it keeps the silverware from getting into the disposal. It is a great little device.

We also purchased a brushed bronzed push drain stopper fit the sink....on amazon

I've tried it on 2 different sinks and it doesn't stay in place. It would not stand alone either. I put a small ladle through the wire thing on the opposite side of the center divider (of the sink) from the holder and that keeps it in place. If they'd made the wire part CURVED instead of making it a 90 degree angle, it would fit more sinks. The suction cups didn't work on our fake granite sink so I removed them. Now we have a shiny sink - they might work with that, but I threw them away.

Hey Cyn, I don't think it would work. You should be able to remove that stopper, but if you can't the center of this might be an issue. It is a dome shape, but the center opening goes into the drain (or at least flat to it, but I'm pretty sure it goes a little further than the ring on the outside).

Hi. No it will not stand alone. Mine wouldn't even stay put in any sink using the suction cups.

It depends on the diameter of your shower stall, however i believe it just barely cover mine-- meaning that the rubber would come into contact with the white shower floor (as opposed to the metal cover of the drain). Even with my sink, this stopper barely covers the drain, so any minor shift = no more water!

It will protect but wont mold to the curviture of your sink as it is fairly stiff. There is some flexibility but it will never truly formly fit. IMHO
