FAQs
Is this waste suitable for any basin?
No, this is a slotted waste, meaning it is designed specifically for basins that have a built-in overflow hole.
How do I operate the click clack mechanism?
Simply press down on the top cover of the waste. Pressing it once will open the waste to allow drainage, and pressing it again will close it.
What is the finish of this waste?
The finish is brushed brass, which offers a contemporary and sophisticated look.
How should I clean and maintain the brushed brass finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Mild soap and water followed by thorough drying is recommended.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, this waste is designed for straightforward installation and can typically be fitted by a DIY enthusiast with basic plumbing knowledge and tools.
What are the dimensions of this waste?
The waste has a diameter of 110.5mm.
What if my basin does not have an overflow?
If your basin does not have an overflow, you will need to use an unslotted waste instead. This slotted waste will not function correctly and may cause leaks.
Troubleshooting
Waste does not seal properly
Check that the basin has a built-in overflow. Ensure the rubber seals on the waste are clean, correctly positioned, and not damaged. Tighten the securing nut from underneath the basin.
Water leaks from the basin’s underside
Verify that all seals are properly seated and that the securing nut is tightened sufficiently. Reapply plumber's putty or sealant around the top flange if necessary.
Click clack mechanism is stiff or stuck
Remove the waste and clean any debris or mineral buildup from the mechanism. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts.
Drainage is slow
Ensure the basin's overflow hole is clear. Check the waste trap and plumbing for any blockages. Clean the waste mechanism itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This waste is designed to be fitted into a standard basin drain hole. It typically involves assembling the main body of the waste through the basin hole and securing it from underneath with a provided nut and washer. Ensure the rubber seals are correctly positioned to prevent leaks.
Compatibility: This slotted waste is exclusively compatible with basins that have a pre-drilled overflow hole. It is not suitable for basins without an overflow. The 110.5mm sizing generally fits most standard basins.
Care: To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
