FAQs

What type of sealant should I use?

For optimal performance and guaranteed compatibility, it is highly recommended to use McAlpine's Macxseal sealant, as this product has been specifically tested and approved for use with McAlpine plumbing products.

What is the warranty on this basin waste?

McAlpine products are known for their quality and rigorous testing. Specific warranty details should be checked with your retailer, but the robust construction suggests a long service life.

How do I clean the basin waste?

Clean the visible brass parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the mushroom plug and its housing are free from debris for proper sealing and drainage.

Can I use this with any basin trap?

Yes, this basin waste is designed with a standard 1.25" outlet, making it compatible with most standard basin traps.

What does 'tested to destruction' mean for McAlpine products?

It means McAlpine subjects their products to extreme stress and conditions beyond normal use to ensure they are incredibly robust and reliable under all circumstances.

What is the plug mechanism?

It features a square spring mushroom plug. This design provides an effective seal when closed and is easily operated by pushing down to close and releasing to open for drainage.

Troubleshooting

Basin waste is leaking from the seal

Ensure McAlpine Macxseal sealant was used and applied correctly during installation. Check that the retaining nut is sufficiently tightened. If the leak persists, the sealant may need to be reapplied.

Mushroom plug does not seal properly

Check for any debris or obstruction around the plug or its seating. Clean the area thoroughly. If the plug is damaged, it may need to be replaced.

Slow drainage from the basin

Debris may be accumulating in the waste outlet or trap. Remove and clean the mushroom plug and check the trap for blockages. Flush with hot water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the basin has a standard 1.25" x 60mm waste aperture. Apply McAlpine Macxseal sealant to the underside of the waste flange before inserting it into the basin. Tighten the retaining nut from underneath the basin, ensuring a snug fit. Connect the trap to the waste outlet as per standard plumbing practices.

Compatibility: This basin waste is designed to work with standard 1.25" basin trap connections. It is specifically tested and approved for use with McAlpine's Macxseal sealant. While it may fit other sealant types, using Macxseal is recommended for guaranteed performance and warranty compliance.

Care: Clean the mushroom plug and surrounding area regularly to prevent debris buildup that could affect sealing. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the visible brass components. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Periodically check the connections underneath the basin for any signs of leaks.
