FAQs

Can I use this waste with a basin that has an overflow hole?

No, this is an unslotted waste and is specifically designed for basins *without* an overflow hole. Using it on a basin with an overflow could lead to leaks.

What material is the plug made of?

The plug is made of durable poly (plastic) with a chrome finish, attached to a chrome-plated brass chain.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can damage the finish.

What is included with the waste?

The waste typically includes the unslotted body, the poly plug, the chrome chain, and the fixing bolt with a rubber washer for installation.

Is this waste easy to install?

Yes, it is designed for easy fitting and is suitable for both DIY installations and professional plumbers.

What is the body of the waste made from?

The body of the waste is constructed from solid brass with chrome plating for durability and a polished look.

How does this waste prevent leaks?

It creates a watertight seal when the plug is firmly seated in the waste outlet, preventing water from escaping the basin.

Troubleshooting

Waste is leaking

Ensure the fixing bolt and rubber washer are tightened securely from underneath the basin. Check that the seal between the basin and the waste body is clean and free from debris.

Plug does not create a watertight seal

Inspect the poly plug for any damage or wear. Clean the plug and the inside of the waste outlet where the plug sits. If the plug is worn, it may need replacement.

Chain is tangled or damaged

Gently untangle the chain. If the chain is damaged, it may need to be replaced to ensure proper operation of the plug.

Slow drainage

Check the plug is fully released. Inspect the drain outlet and the chain for any obstructions or hair buildup. Ensure the basin itself is not blocked.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: This waste is exclusively designed for use with basins that *do not* have an overflow hole. Ensure your basin is unslotted before purchase and installation.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the basin surface where the waste will sit is clean.
  2. Insert the waste from the top of the basin, passing the chain and bolt through the drain hole.
