FAQs
Is this waste suitable for a basin without an overflow?
No, this is a slotted waste designed specifically for basins that feature an overflow mechanism.
What tools do I need for installation?
Typically, you will need a basin wrench for tightening the backnut and silicone sealant or plumber's putty for the flange seal.
Does this product include a tailpipe?
The McAlpine CW1 includes the waste assembly and plug; ensure your trap or pipework is compatible with the standard 1.25-inch outlet.
How do I maintain the chrome finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or acidic bathroom cleaners that can strip the plating.
Is the plug replaceable?
Yes, if the plug becomes damaged or lost, it can be replaced with standard 1.25-inch basin plugs.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from underneath the basin
Ensure the backnut is tightened sufficiently and that the washer/seal is correctly seated. Apply additional sealant if necessary.
Slow drainage performance
Check the slots and drain pipe for hair or buildup; clean thoroughly using a mild detergent and a pipe brush.
Plug does not hold water
Inspect the plug seal for wear or debris. Clean the rim of the waste and the plug rubber seal to ensure a flush contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the CW1 is straightforward for those with basic plumbing knowledge. Begin by ensuring the basin hole is clean and free of debris. Apply plumber’s putty or an appropriate silicone sealant to the underside of the waste flange to ensure a watertight fit against the basin. Tighten the backnut securely by hand or with a basin wrench, being careful not to overtighten and crack the ceramic. Periodically wipe the chrome surface with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the finish. Ensure the slots are occasionally cleared of hair or debris to maintain optimal drainage speed.
