The McAlpine VSG1WH Valve Shower Gully is designed for efficient and hygienic drainage in shower areas, suitable for both domestic and commercial installations. Its key benefit lies in the integrated valve mechanism that prevents foul air from entering the property by automatically resealing after water discharge. A potential caveat is its specific 1½" horizontal outlet, which requires compatible waste pipe fittings.

The valve acts as a non-return mechanism. It seals the waste pipe opening when not in use to prevent foul air and unpleasant odors from escaping the drain and entering your shower area. It automatically opens when water is discharged and reseals once drainage is complete.
The McAlpine VSG1WH has a 1½" (DN40) horizontal outlet for connecting to the waste pipe system.
While compatible with suspended timber floors, the installation should carefully consider the placement and protection of underfloor heating elements to prevent damage during fitting.
It is recommended to clean the gully trap and check the valve mechanism at least every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you notice any signs of slow drainage or odors.
Yes, the McAlpine VSG1WH is suitable for both domestic and commercial applications due to its durable construction and compliance with relevant standards.
This gully is designed for installation in both concrete and suspended timber floors.
The product description notes it is 'available with or without securing screws'. Please check the specific packaging or product listing to confirm if screws are included with your purchase.
Check the gully trap for debris. Ensure the valve mechanism is not obstructed and is opening fully. Verify the waste pipe is not blocked.
Ensure the valve is clean and resealing properly. Check that the water seal within the trap (if any backup is present) is intact. Verify surrounding seals are watertight.
Gently try to lever the plate upwards using a plastic or wooden tool to avoid scratching. Ensure no adhesive or excessive sealant is preventing its removal.
Check that the shower tray membrane is correctly sealed to the clamp ring and the surrounding area. Ensure the clamp ring is tightened appropriately.
