FAQs

What size is the waste plug?

The waste plug has a 60mm diameter dome and is designed for a 1 1/4" pipe connection.

Will this fit my basin if it doesn't have an overflow hole?

While it can be used in unslotted basins, it is designed to function optimally with a basin that has an overflow hole. The overflow helps with proper sealing and operation.

How do I clean the matt white finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the finish.

Is this made of plastic or metal?

The dome is made of brass for durability, finished in matt white. The internal mechanism typically includes durable plastic components.

How do I operate the clicker mechanism?

Push down once to close the plug and seal the drain. Push down again to open the plug and allow water to drain.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, this basin waste is designed for straightforward DIY installation. Basic tools like pliers or a wrench may be helpful for tightening.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

Plug does not seal properly

Ensure the basin has an overflow hole and that it is not blocked. Check that the waste plug mechanism is clean and free of debris. Verify the rubber seal underneath the basin is correctly seated and not damaged. Tighten the retaining nut further if necessary.

Water drains slowly even when closed

The waste outlet or the connected trap may be partially blocked. Check and clean the basin trap for any obstructions. Ensure the clicker mechanism is fully closing.

Difficulty in operating the clicker mechanism

The mechanism may have accumulated debris or limescale. Try cleaning the mechanism with a mild household cleaner and a soft brush. Ensure the plug is fully seated in the waste hole before operating.

Leakage from the underside connection

Check that the retaining nut is sufficiently tightened. Ensure the rubber seal and any washers are present and correctly positioned. If leaks persist, consider replacing the seals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to install and operate.
  • Stylish matt white finish enhances basin appearance.
  • Universal design fits most basins, simplifying replacement.
  • Durable construction ensures long-term use.
  • Effective water sealing when closed.

Cons

  • May not fit basins with non-standard waste hole sizes.
  • Requires a basin with an overflow hole for optimal performance.
  • The plastic component of the clicker mechanism may be less durable than metal alternatives over many years of heavy use.
  • Requires manual tightening during installation, which may require some force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the basin has an overflow hole.
  2. Remove the old waste plug and any associated fittings.
  3. Insert the new basin waste from the top of the basin, ensuring the rubber seal is correctly seated.
  4. From underneath the basin, attach the retaining nut and tighten securely by hand. Use pliers or a wrench for a final firm tighten if necessary, but avoid overtightening.
  5. Connect your basin trap to the waste outlet.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for basins with a 60mm diameter waste hole.
  • Compatible with 1 1/4" basin traps.
  • Suitable for both slotted (with overflow hole) and unslotted basins (though it functions best with an overflow hole).

Care:

  • Clean the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the matt finish.
  • Periodically check the seal underneath the basin to ensure it remains watertight.
