FAQs

Is this basin waste suitable for sinks with an overflow hole?

No, this is an unslotted basin waste, meaning it is designed for sinks that do not have an overflow hole. For sinks with an overflow, you would need a slotted basin waste.

What size connection does this waste have?

The Xcel Home basin waste features a standard G1¼ BSP connection, which is compatible with most UK bathroom sinks.

How do I operate the click-clack mechanism?

Simply press down on the plug to close and seal the drain. Press again to release the plug and allow water to drain.

What material is the basin waste made of?

The basin waste is constructed from high-grade brass with a chrome-plated finish. The connecting nut is also made of solid brass for enhanced durability.

Can I use this in a kitchen sink?

While the connection size is standard, this model is specifically designed for bathroom basins and is unslotted. Kitchen sinks often have different requirements, and it's best to confirm compatibility before installation.

How should I clean the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners.

Will this waste fit any standard UK sink?

It is designed to fit most standard UK bathroom sinks with an unslotted design and a G1¼ connection. It's always advisable to check your sink's specifications before purchasing.

Troubleshooting

Waste plug is not sealing properly

Check for any debris or hair caught in the mechanism or around the seal. Ensure the plug is correctly seated. If the issue persists, the seal may need replacement.

Water is leaking from the connections underneath

Tighten the connecting nut securely. If leaks continue, apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the flange and re-tighten.

Click-clack mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate

Clean the mechanism thoroughly to remove any soap scum or mineral buildup. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can help improve smooth operation.

Chrome finish appears dull or discolored

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If tarnishing is severe, professional advice on re-polishing might be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This basin waste is designed to fit standard G1¼ BSP connections found in most UK bathroom basins. Ensure the sink is unslotted. Installation typically involves securing the waste from underneath the basin using the provided nut and washer, ensuring a watertight seal. A plumber's putty or silicone sealant may be used for extra security.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for unslotted UK bathroom basins. Confirm your sink does not have an overflow hole positioned above the main drain to ensure this model is suitable.
