Product Information
Full details
This SPARES2GO Clicker Basin Waste is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable and stylish replacement for their bathroom or kitchen sink plug. Its key benefit is the easy-to-use clicker mechanism for simple operation and a premium silver chrome-plated brass construction that offers long-lasting shine and corrosion resistance. A potential caveat is that this model is unslotted, requiring compatibility with sinks that do not have an overflow hole.

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. If your sink has an overflow, you will need a slotted basin waste.
What material is the basin waste made from?
The basin waste is constructed from brass with a silver chrome plating for durability and a polished finish.
How do I operate the clicker mechanism?
Simply push down on the plug to close the waste and stop water flow. Push again to open the waste and allow water to drain.
What size pipe connection does this waste use?
This basin waste typically uses a standard 1.1/4 inch (32mm) pipe connection, common for most basins.
How often should I clean the basin waste?
It is recommended to clean the basin waste regularly, ideally weekly, with a soft damp cloth to maintain its shine and prevent buildup.
Can I use this in a kitchen sink as well as a bathroom sink?
Yes, this clicker basin waste is suitable for use in both bathroom and kitchen sinks, provided they are unslotted and have a standard drain hole size.
Troubleshooting
Waste plug does not seal properly, causing leaks
Ensure the securing nut underneath is tightened sufficiently. Check that the rubber washer is correctly seated and that plumber's putty/sealant was applied adequately around the flange.
Clicker mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions around the mechanism. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts if necessary, but avoid petroleum-based lubricants which can degrade rubber components.
Incompatible with sink (e.g., sink has an overflow hole)
This waste is specifically for unslotted sinks. If your sink has an overflow, you will need to purchase a slotted basin waste instead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
