Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic plumbing tools and is compatible with standard 90mm UK shower trays. Ensure the waste hole is free from debris before inserting the trap. For long-term care, wipe the gold cover with a soft, damp cloth and avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can dull the metallic finish over time. Periodically remove the central trap component to clear buildup, ensuring optimal flow and preventing potential backups.
