FAQs
What size tap should I use with this basin?
This basin requires a mono basin tap, which has a single spout and a single control for hot and cold water. Ensure the tap's base dimensions are compatible with the basin's tap hole diameter.
Do I need a special type of waste?
Yes, you will need either an unslotted or a universal basin waste. A standard slotted waste will not create a proper seal because this basin does not have an overflow hole.
Can this basin be installed without a wall fixing kit?
While it is designed for countertop or wall mounting, the wall fixing kit is essential for secure wall installation. If installing on a countertop, ensure the counter itself provides adequate support.
What are the exact dimensions of the basin?
The basin dimensions are 555mm in width, 395mm in depth, and 120mm in height.
Is the white finish prone to staining?
The basin is constructed from premium quality ceramic with a hard-wearing white finish, which is designed to resist staining and be easy to clean. Prompt cleaning of spills is still recommended.
What other basins are available in the Farington range?
Other Farington basins include a White Rectangular Wall Hung Basin (800mm x 415mm) and a White Modern Rectangular Wall Hung Basin (400mm x 295mm).
Troubleshooting
Basin is unstable after installation
Ensure all wall fixings (if wall-mounted) are tightened securely. For countertop installation, check that the basin is seated correctly and evenly on the counter. Adjustments to the trap or waste connections might also be needed.
Water is not draining properly
Check the basin waste for blockages. Ensure the unslotted or universal waste is correctly installed and that the bottle trap is not obstructed.
Tap is leaking at the base
The seal between the tap and the basin may be compromised. Tighten the tap fixing nut or reapply sealant if necessary. Ensure the rubber washer is correctly positioned.
Minor scratches on the surface
For light scratches, try using a non-abrasive ceramic cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
