FAQs
What is a slotted waste?
A slotted waste is designed for basins that have an overflow hole. The 'slots' in the waste allow water to drain away through the overflow if the basin is filled too high, preventing flooding.
Do I need a slotted or unslotted waste?
You need a slotted waste if your basin has an overflow hole. If your basin does not have an overflow hole, you would need an unslotted waste.
What material is this waste made from?
The waste features a robust brass body with a chrome effect finish.
How do I clean the chrome effect finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.
Can this be used with any basin?
This slotted waste is compatible with standard UK basins that feature an overflow hole.
What tools are typically needed for installation?
Basic plumbing tools such as an adjustable spanner or basin wrench might be needed for tightening the retaining nut.
Troubleshooting
Slow drainage
Check the waste trap and pipework for blockages. Ensure the slotted waste itself is clear of debris.
Leak from the base
Ensure the rubber washers are correctly seated and the retaining nut is tightened sufficiently. Check the integrity of the washers.
Waste does not sit flush
Verify the waste is correctly installed and that no debris is obstructing its seating within the basin.
