This FCKPGLD97 basket plug is suitable for several Lorreine and Caressi sinks. The gold basket plug acts as a sieve and prevents food residue from entering the sink. By pushing the plug down, you completely close the drain of the Lorreine sink, thus acting as a stopper. This allows you to use the sink for hand washing. The basket plug is made of stainless steel with a PVD gold coating and will therefore not rust. The basket is round and shiny matt brushed gold in color. This basket plug comes with a steel pin, sealing rubber and plastic ring. There is a rubber ring around a steel ring with this basket plug.
If the basket plug sinks into the sink and thus does not stay up, you will need a new basket plug. The ball will probably have fallen out of the pin.
The diameter of the basket plug is 97mm (larger than standard)
Many basket plugs look alike, but every brand and type number has different dimensions. Because many customers just guess and cause us and the customer unnecessary costs, basket plugs cannot be returned. Not even if the plug is still in its packaging. Therefore, make sure you order the correct type number. What can you do to be sure which basket plug you need?
1 | Check the product description to see if the basket plug is suitable for your sink type number. This plug must have a diameter of 97mm and fit into a Lorreine sink. |
2 | Check that your basket plug looks exactly the same, i.e. shape, rubber in the same place, shape of the knob etc... (if you still have it) and make sure they match the features on Properties tab. |
3 | Are you unable to figure it out? We are happy to help you. Take a picture of the top and bottom of your old basket plug. If you no longer have a basket plug, please take a picture of the top of your sink and a picture of the connection of your basket plug set in your sink cabinet and possibly measure the size of the overflow (thin tube which goes to the overflow which is usually 25 or 30mm) and send these pictures, the brand and possibly the year of production to us via WhatsApp or contact us via chat or email(mail@vervangingsmarkt.nl). The production year and week are usually found at the bottom of the sink on an orange sticker. |
The sink plug can be cleaned by putting it in the dishwasher to get all the dirt off the basket strainer. For stubborn tea stains, you can use a special stainless steel cleaner or non-aggressive cleaners, dish soap and all-purpose cleaner are a great alternative. Use an abrasive sponge (not a pan sponge!) for this purpose. With this you can clean the plug well and get rid of grease and caked-on residue. After this, use a microfiber cloth to polish the basket nicely. If the basket plug rubber of the sink plug is broken, you will unfortunately have to purchase a new plug.
This plug is among others in the Lorreine R series sinks.
