FAQs
What is the main benefit of the slotted design?
The slotted design is crucial for basins that have an overflow hole. It allows water to escape through the overflow, preventing the basin from flooding.
Can I use this basin waste with a basin that does not have an overflow hole?
No, this waste is specifically designed for basins with a slotted overflow. For basins without an overflow, you would need an unslotted (or universal) basin waste.
How do I operate the pop-up mechanism?
You operate it by pressing down on the stopper. Press once to close the waste and hold water, and press again to open it and allow drainage.
What tools are needed for installation?
Typically, you will need a wrench or pliers to tighten the locking nut, and potentially a screwdriver if any parts require it. Silicone sealant and a cloth are also necessary.
What is the connection size for this waste?
The connection size is a standard G 1 1/2 inches, compatible with most basin plumbing.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The product comes with a 2-year guarantee.
How often should I clean the pop-up mechanism?
It is recommended to clean the pop-up mechanism periodically, especially if you notice it becoming stiff or if debris is accumulating, to ensure smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
Waste does not seal properly to hold water
Ensure the pop-up mechanism is clean and free of debris. Check that the silicone sealant has fully cured and created a watertight seal around the basin drain. Verify that the basin has a slotted overflow, as this waste is designed for them.
Water is draining too slowly
Check the trap and waste pipe underneath the basin for any blockages. Ensure the pop-up stopper is fully opening. Clean any sediment or hair from the waste mechanism.
Pop-up mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate
Remove the waste assembly and clean the pop-up rod and stopper. Lubricate the moving parts sparingly with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Visible leaks from under the basin
Tighten the locking nut on the waste assembly. Reapply silicone sealant around the drain hole if the seal is compromised. Check that all washers are correctly seated.
