Say Goodbye to Plumber's Putty
For decades, plumber’s putty has been the go-to for sealing sink drains. But anyone who’s installed enough drains knows the frustration. What should be a straightforward job can turn into extra work, especially when the putty doesn’t cooperate.
You’ve probably dealt with:
- Sticky putty that gets all over your hands and tools
- Excess material squeezing out around the drain
- Waiting for wet silicone sealant to cure before using the sink
- Using too much or too little putty and having to redo the seal
- Scraping off old sealant and starting over when repairing
The Top Side Drain Gasket takes those headaches out of the equation. Just position the silicone gasket beneath the drain flange and tighten the drain into place for a clean, consistent seal without the mess.
Install It and Use the Sink Right Away
One of the biggest advantages of our gasket is how quickly the job is finished.
Because there is no wet sealant involved, there’s no curing time or waiting before the sink can be used. Once the drain assembly is properly tightened, the gasket creates an immediate watertight seal.
That means:
- No waiting before running water
- No worrying about curing time
- Faster installations
- Less downtime for homeowners and customers
It’s a simple improvement that can save time on every installation.
Designed From Real Plumbing Experience
After more than 40 years in the plumbing industry, you learn that it’s often the little things that make a job more frustrating than it needs to be. Installing a sink drain is a perfect example. The process itself is straightforward, but working with plumber’s putty or silicone can turn a simple installation into a messy, time-consuming task.
Our founder spent decades dealing with those same frustrations. Applying putty, positioning the drain, tightening everything down and cleaning up whatever squeezed out around the flange. And when a drain needs to come back out, you’re often starting the sealing process all over again.
That’s exactly why he developed the Top Side Drain Gasket.
The goal wasn’t to change how plumbers install sink drains. It was to make a familiar job easier by eliminating the need for traditional sealing materials.
A Cleaner Way to Work
Anyone who’s scraped old putty off a sink or cleaned silicone from a countertop knows how much time can be spent after the installation is technically finished.
With Top Side Gaskets, cleanup is kept to a minimum because there’s no messy material squeezing out around the drain. The gasket sits neatly between the drain flange and the sink, helping create a professional-looking installation without the extra work.
For contractors, that means spending less time cleaning up and more time moving on to the next project.
Remove The Drain. Reuse The Gasket.
One advantage many traditional sealing methods can’t offer is reusability.
If the drain assembly ever needs to be removed for maintenance or replacement, the gasket can often be reused as long as it remains clean and undamaged. That means less waste and fewer materials needed when servicing the sink in the future.
While every installation should be inspected before reusing any sealing component, having that option provides added convenience that traditional plumber’s putty simply doesn’t offer.
