FAQs

What size is the connection?

Does it come with a template for installation?

Installation instructions are provided, but a specific template is not typically included. Careful measurement against the basin and plumbing is advised.

Troubleshooting

Slow drainage

Check the waste trap and overflow holes for blockages. Clean any debris. Ensure the water seal in the trap is adequate.

Leaking connections

Verify that all compression nuts and seals are correctly positioned and tightened. Re-seat seals if necessary and ensure no cross-threading has occurred.

Overflow not functioning

Inspect the overflow pipework for obstructions. Ensure the overflow connection to the main waste pipe is clear and properly sealed.

Bad odors from drain

Clean the waste trap thoroughly with a drain cleaner suitable for your pipes. Ensure the water seal in the trap is maintained.
