Hi I have a Franke 33 X 22 stainless double sink, installed by a local plumber. The left strainer leaked. He returned and reinstalled with new plumbers putty and new under the sink gaskets. He said this was a lousy setup, the strainers came from Franke, the new gaskets are after market. The strainer is slightly off center to the sink seat, perhaps the plumbing needs a little adjustment. The strainer is a standard strainer with a 3.5 in nut compressing the gasket. It is tight. There is water seeping by the gasket and sink. The right sink is just fine. There is no garberator.
My question, is there a better basket system, since the plumber says this one is "lousy" but didn't offer an explanation other than to say running differnt temperatuers one after the other shocks the putty and allows it to leak.
I really don't want this "jouneyman" back, I'd rather do it myself. Any abvice would be more rhan welcome
Thanks Norm
