FAQs

What is the diameter of the sink hole required?

This waste set is designed for sinks with a 90mm diameter waste hole.

Does this set include everything needed for installation?

Yes, the set includes the basket strainer waste, a matching overflow piece, and a metal grill. Extended bolts for fixing are also included.

What material is the polished gold finish applied to?

The product description indicates a polished gold effect finish. The base material is typically metal, designed for durability.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Basic plumbing tools such as a wrench or pliers might be needed to tighten connections. Ensure you have plumber's putty or sealant for a watertight seal.

How do I clean and maintain the polished gold finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish. Regular cleaning will help maintain its shine.

What is the purpose of the overflow piece?

The overflow piece is a safety feature that prevents your sink from overflowing by allowing excess water to drain away through a separate pipe when the sink reaches a certain level.

Can this be installed in a composite granite sink?

As long as the composite granite sink has a 90mm waste hole and a suitable location for the overflow, this waste set should be compatible. Ensure the thickness of the sink material is compatible with the provided extended bolts.

Troubleshooting

Sink is draining slowly

Check the metal grill for blockages and clean any accumulated debris. Ensure the waste pipe connection is clear.

Water is leaking around the base of the waste

Tighten the fixing bolts from underneath. If the leak persists, re-apply plumber's putty or sealant around the base of the waste where it meets the sink.

Overflow is not functioning correctly

Ensure the overflow pipe is securely connected to both the sink and the waste body. Check for any kinks or blockages in the overflow pipe.

The gold finish appears dull or discolored

Clean the surface with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If the discoloration is significant, it may indicate damage to the finish.

Pros and Cons

  • Designed for easy integration with standard 90mm sink holes.
  • Robust build quality ensures durability and longevity.
  • The overflow feature adds practical protection against water damage.

Cons

  • Requires a sink with a 90mm hole, limiting compatibility with older or non-standard sinks.
  • Installation necessitates a pipe connection for the overflow, which might require plumbing adjustments.
