FAQs

What size pipe does this waste fitting connect to?

This McAlpine waste fitting is designed for a 1.1/2" pipe connection.

How do I clean the basket strainer?

Simply lift the basket out of the fitting, discard any captured waste, and rinse it under warm water. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and a soft brush.

Is plumber's putty required for installation?

It is generally recommended to use plumber's putty or a suitable sealant under the sink flange to ensure a watertight seal. Check your specific sink manufacturer's recommendations.

What is the purpose of the rectangular overflow grid?

The overflow grid is a safety feature that allows excess water to drain away if the sink is filled too high, preventing water from spilling over the sink edge.

Can this be used in a bathroom sink?

Yes, this waste fitting is suitable for various sink types, including kitchen, utility, and bathroom sinks, provided the plumbing connections match.

What materials is the waste made from?

The product is made from high-quality, robust materials designed for durability and long-lasting use.

Troubleshooting

Slow drainage

Remove the basket and clean any trapped debris. Check the waste pipe for blockages.

Water leaking around the flange

Ensure the plumber's putty or sealant was applied correctly and sufficiently. Tighten the waste assembly further if possible.

Basket strainer is difficult to remove

Ensure no debris is jamming the basket. Gently wiggle and pull upwards.

Overflow not draining

Check the connection between the overflow grid and the main waste body for obstructions. Ensure the overflow pipe is clear.
