Product Information

Full details

This Alcaplast Bathtub Waste with Overflow Pipe Drain Trap in Antique Brass is designed for homeowners and plumbers seeking an effective and stylish solution for draining standard bathtubs. Its primary benefit is the combined waste and overflow system with a wet odour trap that prevents sewer gases from entering the bathroom, complemented by a convenient pop-up mechanism and an elegant antique brass finish. A potential caveat is the specific requirement for a Ø52mm drain outlet, which may not fit all bathtubs.

Troubleshooting

Slow draining

Check the drain for hair or debris. Clean the pop-up mechanism and the trap. Ensure the flexi pipe is not kinked or blocked.

Odors from the drain

Ensure the wet odour trap is correctly installed and contains water. Check if the water seal has evaporated due to infrequent use; run water in the sink to refill the trap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This bathtub waste system is designed for standard bathtubs with a drain outlet measuring Ø52mm. Ensure your bathtub's drain opening matches this specification before installation. The flexi pipe has a length of 100 cm, providing some flexibility in connecting to the waste pipe.

Setup: Installation typically involves assembling the waste, overflow, and trap components. Ensure all seals are properly seated to prevent leaks. Connect the swivel elbow to the trap and then attach the flexi pipe to the outlet. For detailed step-by-step instructions, refer to the manufacturer's installation manual. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified plumber if you are not experienced with plumbing.

Care: To maintain the antique brass finish, clean the components regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check the pop-up mechanism and the drain for any debris that might impede its function. Ensure the overflow grille is clear of hair and soap scum.
