Danco (10739P) Catcher Replacement Baskets for Stand-Alone Shower Trap, Hair Drain Clog Prevention, Pack of 6, Black

This is one of the best things I've bought this year ... and for so little money.We have a big problem with lots of long hair going down the drain and an infrequent giant roach coming up the drain (ick!). The only grate that will fit our showers is a 3 1/4" grate which has 1/4" slats that are large enough for hair and giant roaches to get through.We ended up putting a 2 1/4" mesh strainer under the grate to stop both the hair going down and the roaches coming up. The strainer actually works well, except it's a nasty mess to keep clean. Because it sits a bit lower into the drain, somebody had to remove the grate screws, then use a screw driver to get the strainer out, clean the strainer, and then put everything back.I decided to try this hair catcher even though our drain is not 4", and it is awesome. There are no screws and it fits the drain. It's not a tight fit, but good enough. It could be siliconed in place, if we wanted. The center hair catcher seems to catch most of the hair and is easy to clean.Now, everyone in the household, after every shower, is responsible for lifting up the hair catcher, using a paper towel to give it a quick wipe, and dropping it back in place. Easy.It solved the hair going down the drain, the roaches coming up the drain, the unwillingness to clean the drain, it looks great, and it was inexpensive. Five stars!UPDATE May 2021: Still working good for us. Still using the original basket. Still no need for rotor rooter. Still five stars.UPDATE Aug 2024: Same as above. Still 5 stars.

These fit great in my side drain shower. I have to gently pull it out for hair removal due to the position of my drain but they keep all hair from going down the drain. Won’t work in my bathtub drain though.

did not fit our shower drain, but seems like good quality

This has been excellent for catching my long hair and preventing clogs - even saved my drain from a bobby pin. I've had this for several months now. The unit is 3 pieces that replace your existing drain altogether - the outside ring feels like real metal to me, although they list as durable plastic, so maybe chrome plated. Basket top is chrome [like] plated plastic [feels more plastic than ring] and basket is black plastic. Comes with a spare basket - which you may never need since the concept is to clean out the basket when needed [weekly in my case]. Looks much nicer than those cheesy dome drain sifters for the same purpose.Product was pretty easy to install - my existing drain had 2 screws to remove - this fit perfectly in the existing hole. I deducted one star because the basket fits so tightly that even my husband couldn't pry it off. We ended up using tools, and thankfully didn't break or scratch up the nice chrome basket top. I used a nail file to thin down the rim a bit and it's easier to open now. The functionality of this item depends on ease-of-use - otherwise you'd never make time to clean it out. I deduct one star any time I have to physically alter a product to make it function as advertised.

After trying several different style shower drain hair catchers with disappointment, I finally found the ultimate and best solution to this unavoidable problem. It fits right into the drain hole seamlessly and the insert can be lifted out easily for a quick clean. It does not move around, and very effective. I haven’t had a clog since I started using it. Highly recommend it.

great job!

This Looks good, I made my shower and I have stones for the shower floor. Wow what a well made product. Guys perfect.Metal ring with a plastic center insert basket well made and just what I needed to prevent hair and anything else from going down the drain.The basket is a bit hard to clean by hand but nothing a garden hose can’t handle. It comes with two baskets.Thank you

These hair catchers are great and work perfect .
