FAQs

Can this basin waste be used with a basin that has an overflow?

No, this is an unslotted basin waste and is specifically designed for basins that do not have an overflow hole. Using it with a basin that has an overflow will not create a watertight seal and may lead to leaks.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Clean the chrome surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Always wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain shine.

What does 'click-clack' operation mean?

It refers to the simple push-button mechanism. Pushing the cap once opens the waste to let water drain, and pushing it again closes the waste to hold water.

What is the standard thread size for connection?

The product features a standard G1 1/4" male thread connection and a 32mm outlet thread size, which is compatible with most standard basin plumbing setups.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is generally straightforward, especially for those with basic DIY plumbing experience. It uses standard fittings, and the click-clack mechanism requires no tools to operate once installed.

What are the dimensions of the waste?

The top cap diameter is 60mm, the inner diameter is 38mm, and the adjustable height range is 10–50mm, compliant with EN 274-1:2002 standards.

Troubleshooting

Waste does not seal properly

Check that the rubber seals are correctly seated and not damaged. Ensure the basin itself is clean around the waste hole. Verify that the waste is not overtightened, which can sometimes deform the seals.

Water drains too slowly

The primary cause is usually a blockage in the trap or waste pipe. Disconnect the trap and clean out any debris. Ensure the click-clack mechanism is fully open.

Mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate

There might be debris or limescale buildup around the moving parts of the click-clack mechanism. Gently clean the cap and surrounding area with a soft brush and mild cleaner. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing its movement.

Chrome finish is tarnished

Use a soft cloth dampened with water and mild soap. Gently wipe the surface. Rinse with clean water and immediately dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
