Abstract

An improved plumbing component is disclosed. The plumbing component includes a basket strainer includes a basket strainer body and a tail piece extending therefrom. The tailpiece includes sufficient spacing between the lower aspect of basket strainer body and the upper aspect of tailpiece to support one or more shaped tool-engaging flats, for receiving a wrench tool for assembly/disassembly of the installed apparatus. According to another embodiment, a retrofittable tailpiece having tool-engaging flats may be applied to prior art tailpieces and secured in place to enable single-handed assembly/disassembly.
