Its key benefit is the patented Top Fix installation, allowing secure fitting entirely from above the sink, ideal for tight spaces or quick replacements.

FAQs

What does 'Top Fix installation' mean?

Top Fix installation means the entire strainer waste assembly is secured from the top side of the sink, eliminating the need to access the difficult space underneath the sink cabinet.

Is this waste suitable for sinks with an overflow?

No, this specific model does not have an overflow. It is designed for sinks without an overflow outlet.

How do I clean the integrated strainer?

Simply lift the strainer basket out of the waste fitting and clear away any trapped food debris. Rinse the basket and the waste opening as needed.

What size is the sink opening required for this waste?

This strainer waste is designed for standard UK kitchen sinks with a 90mm diameter sink opening.

What materials is the chrome finish made of?

The finish is high-quality chrome plating, chosen for its durability, resistance to corrosion, and modern appearance.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Top-Fix Kitchen Strainer Waste comes with a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Can I use this in a utility room sink?

Yes, provided the utility room sink is a standard UK size with a 90mm opening and does not require an overflow feature, this strainer waste is suitable.

Troubleshooting

Strainer waste leaks from the top seal.

Ensure the Top Fix mechanism is fully tightened from above. Check that the sink surface where the seal makes contact is clean and smooth. Re-seat the rubber gasket if necessary.

Water drains slowly.

Remove the strainer basket and clear any accumulated food debris. Check the connecting pipework for any potential blockages further down the system.

Cannot secure the waste from above.

Verify that all components are correctly aligned according to the installation diagram. Ensure the Top Fix mechanism is engaged properly with the securing components.

Chrome finish appears dull or tarnished.

Clean with a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for chrome. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the waste is dried after cleaning to prevent water spots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Installation from above saves significant time and effort, especially in tight spaces.
  • Integrated strainer effectively catches food debris, reducing blockage risks.
  • Durable chrome finish provides a modern look and resists corrosion.
  • Ideal for both DIY replacements and professional new installations.
  • Designed for compatibility with standard UK kitchen sinks.

Cons

  • Does not include an overflow, requiring separate consideration if an overflow is needed.
  • Primarily designed for standard UK sinks; compatibility with non-standard sizes may vary.
  • Requires a separate plug or cap if the sink needs to be filled with water.
  • The 90mm diameter might not fit all older or specialized sink models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the sink opening is clean and free of debris.
  2. Follow the included instructions to assemble the waste components from above the sink.
  3. Use the Top Fix mechanism to securely tighten the waste to the sink base from the top.
  4. Connect any necessary plumbing to the outlet pipe.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for standard UK kitchen sinks with a 90mm diameter sink opening.

  • Ensure your existing plumbing connections are compatible with the waste outlet.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the chrome finish.
  • Periodically remove the strainer basket to clear accumulated food debris.
  • Check plumbing connections for leaks after installation and periodically thereafter.
