July 16, 20188 yr A simple one. These allegedly come in mm, but where do I measure it?j I have seen 78mm, 79, 84 and 85. What size do i need for this? To me that might say 84mm, but rim to rim is 90mm. F Edited July 16, 20188 yr by Ferdinand
July 16, 20188 yr The basic hole in the sink is 3.5 inches (89mm) designed to take a waste disposal unit.The problem comes when you need to replace the existing assembly as you need to know the name of the sink manufacture as they are all different designs,some have overflow connections and are all different depths under the sink for the trap connection.There is not a universal plug either as these as these vary in shape .All the basket strainer sets will fit the sink hole,it’s just finding the right one for your setup.
July 16, 20188 yr Ha, just had this problem this weekend, bought a fireclay 1 and 1/2 bowl sink and presumed both wastes were 90mm! , when it arrived one was 90mm (main) but 1/2 bowl was 60mm so had to find one of those on Ebay, anyone want a 90mm waste with basket drainer? The dimension is the whole in the sink. Edited July 16, 20188 yr by joe90

Franke. Bought in 2014. So presumably I have a reference in the instructions somewhere. Cheers F

July 16, 20188 yr You are lucky ,Franke sinks are a good make and basket strainer sets are readily available . Have a look on EBay you can proberbly just replace the plug.

July 16, 20188 yr http://www.homecreations.co.uk/franke-spare-sink-plug-new-style.html they also have plugs for older Franke models pre 2008
July 17, 20188 yr Author Cheers all. Ordered one from Franke themselves as it was the same as Indy prices £17+ was still a touch painful, though. But worth it for a high end sink.
