FAQs
What does 'slotted' mean for this basin waste?
A 'slotted' waste has an opening designed to connect with the basin's overflow outlet. This allows water to drain away if the basin is overfilled, preventing spills.
Is this waste suitable for a basin without an overflow?
No, this is a slotted waste and is designed to work with a basin that has an overflow. If your basin does not have an overflow, you will need an 'unslotted' waste.
What size is the connection thread?
The connection size is G 1 1/2 inches, which is a standard size for most bathroom basin plumbing.
How do I operate the press-top mechanism?
Simply push down on the plug to close the waste and stop water from draining. Push down again to open the waste and allow water to drain.
What material is the internal mechanism made from?
The internal mechanism is made from high-quality brass for durability and reliable operation.
Can I use this in a kitchen sink?
This waste is specifically designed for bathroom basins. While the connection size might be compatible, it may not be suitable for the larger volumes or types of waste found in kitchen sinks.
Troubleshooting
Waste plug does not seal properly
Check the rubber seals for damage or debris. Ensure the internal mechanism is clean and free from obstructions. Verify the waste is correctly seated and tightened in the basin.
Water drains too slowly
Inspect the waste outlet and the connected trap for blockages (hair, soap residue). Clean out any debris found.
Chrome finish is dull or stained
Clean with a mild soap and water solution and buff dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Press-top mechanism is stiff or stuck
Gently try to operate it. Remove and clean the internal mechanism. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary, ensuring it does not affect the seal.
