The Nantucket Sinks NS-403ULB is the Junior Duo bar sink drain in unlacquered brass: a compact basket strainer drain crafted from solid brass, made for Nantucket's ROB and REB bar sinks. Because it is unlacquered, the brass naturally develops a rich patina over time, for a bar that should age and gain character along with its sink and faucet.
It is a compact basket strainer drain designed to fit standard bar sinks, sized so a small bowl still gets the strainer function you expect from a full kitchen drain. A mini strainer basket traps small debris such as citrus seeds and garnish trimmings, and lifts out to empty. The body measures 2.75" across at its widest top part and narrows to a 2.25" base, and the drain stands 3.25" tall when assembled, so it leaves room under a bar sink for the trap.
Nantucket sells the Junior Duo in four finishes, stainless steel, polished brass, unlacquered brass and Venetian bronze, each matched to its own bar sinks, so the drain can be ordered to match the sink and the faucet.
Before ordering, check the opening and the sink. Nantucket recommends professional installation. It ships on its own, with no other parts in the box.
The Junior Duo comes in four finishes matched to Nantucket's bar sinks: the NS-403SS in stainless steel for the RES, ROS, RON and REN sinks, the NS-403PB in polished brass and the NS-403ULB in unlacquered brass for the ROB and REB sinks, and the NS-403VB in Venetian bronze for the REHC-2.5.
In short, the Nantucket Sinks NS-403ULB gives a brass bar sink a solid unlacquered brass mini strainer that patinas over time.
Features
Solid Unlacquered Brass
The drain is crafted from solid brass with no lacquer coat, so the metal itself is the finish and can be polished back or left to darken.
Develops a Rich Patina
Nantucket notes that unlacquered brass naturally develops a rich patina over time, enhancing its character and depth.
Mini Strainer Catches Debris
The mini strainer basket gives a bar sink the debris-catching function of a full-size drain, trapping seeds and peel before they reach the trap.
Compact 3.25" Height
At 3.25" tall assembled with a 2.25" base, with a 2.75" top, the Junior Duo is a compact drain that Nantucket matches to its bar sinks.
2.75" Top Flange
The widest top part measures 2.75" across, a small, neat ring that sits cleanly in a compact bar sink bowl.
Made for Bar Sinks
Nantucket designs the Junior Duo to fit standard bar sinks, giving a small bowl the strainer utility Nantucket says you would expect from larger drains.

Installation & Care
Installation
Nantucket recommends professional installation. The Junior Duo fits the drain opening of a standard bar sink; Nantucket lists it for its ROB and REB sinks. The drain has a 2.25" base and a 3.25" overall height. Nothing else is included in the box, and the sink is sold separately.
Care
To keep the as-delivered look, seal the drain with a quality carnauba paste wax before first use and again every 6 months. Wash with a soft damp cloth and a little mild soap free of antibacterial or bleach additives (original Dawn, for example), rinse and hand dry. For mineral deposits or water spots use Bar Keepers Friend or Brasso; never use steel wool, a scouring pad or a sponge, and rinse off face cleansers, toothpaste, grooming products, wine, fruit acid or ketchup promptly, since they alter the finish. To let the patina develop, skip the wax and simply wash and dry it.
