OATEY 42018 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Oatey 42018 strainer fit my existing shower drain?
The 42018 is a 4-1/4 inch round snap-tight strainer, so it drops onto any 4-1/4 inch round drain top. Oatey lists it as compatible with the 101BR, 101PNC, 101NPT, 101PS, 102, 103, 130, 131 and 140 NC Series shower drains, and it snaps onto no-calk, tile shower, offset, solvent weld, brass NPT and two-part shower drain bodies. Measure the outside diameter of the strainer you are pulling out first: if it is not 4-1/4 inches, this one will not seat.
2) Does the Oatey 42018 work on a 2 inch or a 3 inch drain?
Both. The 42018 is made for use over a 2 inch or 3 inch drain opening, because the 4-1/4 inch strainer face snaps to the drain body's top ring rather than to the pipe itself. The pipe size below does not change which strainer you need, the top diameter does.
3) Is the Oatey 42018 strainer stainless steel or plated?
It is stainless steel with a brushed nickel plated finish, so the body will not corrode and the plating holds up to common household cleaners. Oatey's spec attributes list the finish as satin nickel, which is the same appearance family as brushed nickel.
4) Do I need tools or a plumber to replace a shower strainer with this one?
No plumbing work is involved. The 42018 snaps into the drain body by hand and lifts back out for cleaning, so there is no cutting, no solvent weld and no access from below. That is why it works for maintenance turns where you only need to refresh a tired or rusted drain cover.
5) Can I standardize shower drain covers across a building with the Oatey 42018?
Yes, within limits. It is sold as a universal replacement that fits any 4-1/4 inch round drain top and a wide list of Oatey drain bodies, so a property with mixed no-calk, tile, offset, solvent weld and two-part bodies can often use the one part number. The constraint is diameter and finish, not drain body type, so check that all your drain tops are 4-1/4 inch round before buying a case quantity.
6) Will brushed nickel match my chrome or polished trim?
It will not. Brushed nickel is a satin, warm-toned finish that reads clearly different next to polished chrome. Oatey makes this snap-tight strainer in other plated finishes as well, so match the drain to the shower trim rather than assuming nickel blends.
7) How is the Oatey 42018 packaged, and what is the part number to order?
Order it as Oatey 42018, supplied carded for retail display, one strainer per card. Each piece weighs about 0.188 pounds, so it ships light for a full-case or multi-unit maintenance order.
