Product Information

Full details

The McAlpine BSW12T is a robust black plastic slotted basin waste designed for standard bathroom sinks and washbasins. It offers efficient drainage and reliable leak prevention, ensuring a clean and odor-free bathroom environment. A key benefit is its durable construction and easy installation. One potential consideration is that it is a slotted version, which is unsuitable for basins without an overflow.

FAQs

What is a slotted basin waste?

A slotted basin waste has small holes or slots around the top of the body. These allow water to drain away even if the plug is inserted, preventing the basin from overflowing. It requires the basin to have an overflow hole.

Can I use this waste on a basin without an overflow?

No, this is a slotted basin waste and is designed specifically for basins that have an overflow hole. Using it on a basin without an overflow could lead to the basin filling up and potentially overflowing.

What is the diameter of the flange?

The stainless steel flange has a diameter of 60mm.

What size pipe does this connect to?

The waste has a 1.25" BSP connection and a 3.5" tail, designed to connect to standard 1.25" or 1.5" basin traps and drainage pipes.

Does it come with a chain?

The McAlpine BSW12T is available with or without a chain and stay. Please check the product listing to confirm if a chain is included.

What material is the plug made of?

The plug is made of black PVC.

How do I clean the basin waste?

Clean the plug and the visible parts of the waste with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning agents. Periodically check for any debris trapped in the slots.

Troubleshooting

Waste is leaking from the backnut.

Ensure the backnut is tightened sufficiently. If the leak persists, check the rubber washer for damage or consider re-applying plumber's putty/sealant around the flange.

Water is not draining efficiently.

Check the plug is not fully sealing the waste. Ensure there are no blockages in the basin trap or the connected drainage pipe. Clean any debris caught in the slots of the waste.

Plug does not seal the waste effectively.

Inspect the black PVC plug for any damage or wear. If the plug is worn, it may need replacing. Ensure the plug is correctly seated in the waste opening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable black plastic construction for long-lasting use.
  • Slotted design ensures effective water drainage.
  • Includes a plug to prevent odors and seal the basin.
  • Standard 1.25" BSP connection for broad compatibility.
  • Easy to install with a secure backnut fixing.

Cons

  • Requires a basin with an overflow due to the slotted design.
  • Plug is black PVC, not metal, which may be less premium for some aesthetics.
  • Chain and stay is an optional extra, not included as standard.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the basin has an overflow hole.
  2. Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the underside of the stainless steel flange.
  3. Insert the flange through the basin waste hole from above.
  4. From underneath, fit the rubber washer and then the backnut, tightening securely to create a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
  5. Connect the 3.5" tail to your basin trap.

Compatibility:

  • Basin Type: Suitable for basins with an overflow hole.
  • Connection Size: Compatible with 1.25" BSP connections.
