Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this include the waste mechanism below the sink?

No, this is specifically the pop-up plug and O-ring assembly only.

Is this compatible with non-Ideal Standard brands?

No, this part is engineered specifically for Ideal Standard systems and may not fit standard generic waste fittings.

How do I know if my basin is compatible?

Check your existing waste or tap model against the Ceraplan, Cone, Sandringham, or Ceramix series specifications.

Can I replace the O-ring separately?

While the O-ring is included, it is designed as a complete set; for best results, replace the entire assembly.

Will the chrome finish match my other bathroom fixtures?

Yes, it features a standard high-gloss chrome finish consistent with industry-standard polished chrome fixtures.

Troubleshooting

Plug does not pop up or down smoothly

Check for debris or hair caught in the waste fitting and ensure the O-ring is seated properly without twists.

Basin water drains away slowly when plugged

Ensure the plug is sitting flush in the seat and the O-ring is not damaged or obstructed by mineral deposits.

Plug feels loose in the waste hole

Verify that your waste fitting is a genuine Ideal Standard unit; this plug is not universal and requires the matching manufacturer base.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Genuine OEM part ensures perfect fitment
  • Restores original pop-up sink functionality
  • High-quality chrome finish provides a clean, professional look
  • Easy to install without requiring specialized plumbing tools
  • Includes essential O-ring for a leak-free seal

Cons

  • Compatibility is limited strictly to specific Ideal Standard models
  • Does not include the full pop-up waste mechanism, only the plug assembly
  • May require manual adjustment to achieve optimal pop-up height

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the sink is clear of debris. Carefully unscrew or pull the existing plug assembly out from the waste fitting. Slide the new A961226AA plug into the waste hole, ensuring the included O-ring is seated correctly to provide a seal. Test the pop-up action several times to ensure it engages smoothly. For care, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners on the chrome surface, as these can scratch the finish; a soft cloth and mild soap are sufficient to keep the plug looking new. This part is compatible with the Ceraplan, Cone, Sandringham, and Ceramix series; always cross-reference your specific tap or waste model number before purchase.
