The Astini SK2 Kitchen Sink Plumbing Kit is designed for homeowners with 1.5-bowl sinks and some 2.0-bowl configurations seeking a reliable and contemporary drainage solution. Its key benefit is providing a complete plumbing kit with a water-seal P-trap and provisions for appliance discharge, ensuring proper waste management and odor prevention. A potential caveat is that for sinks with very wide or large bowls, a different model (SSK2) might be more suitable.

This kit is primarily designed for 1.5-bowl sinks and some 2.0-bowl configurations, fitting most British and European sink types.
The kit includes the P-trap, connection pipework, blank plugs, and provision for appliance discharge hoses, covering essential plumbing needs for compatible sinks.
The included 1.5" x 75mm water-seal tubular P-trap is designed to hold water, creating a barrier against sewer gases. Ensure it's correctly installed and has water in the trap.
Yes, the kit includes provision for domestic appliance discharge hoses, allowing you to connect appliances like dishwashers or washing machines.
The kit comes with a 1-year manufacturer guarantee against manufacturing defects. However, working parts are covered by a 6-month warranty.
The SSK2 model is recommended for sinks with two large bowls or widely spaced waste outlets, where the standard SK2 might not provide optimal pipework configuration.
Periodically flush the pipes with hot water to prevent buildup. For exterior cleaning, use a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive or harsh chemical cleaners.
Check the P-trap for blockages by dismantling and cleaning it. Ensure the appliance discharge ports are not obstructed if connected.
Verify that the P-trap is correctly installed and filled with water. If recently installed, check that the water seal has been established. Ensure blank plugs are securely fitted.
Tighten the connections slightly. Ensure any necessary seals or washers are present and correctly seated. Use PTFE tape on threaded joints if not already applied.
Ensure you are using the correct adaptor if supplied, or that the hose clamp is tightened sufficiently around the designated port.
Setup: The Astini SK2 kit is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure all connections are secure and hand-tightened initially, followed by a quarter-turn with appropriate tools if necessary. Refer to the manufacturer's diagrams for correct pipe orientation and trap assembly. It's recommended to apply PTFE tape to threaded connections for a watertight seal.
Compatibility: This kit fits most standard British and European 1.5-bowl sinks. It is also suitable for some 2.0-bowl configurations. For sinks with two large bowls or widely spaced waste outlets, the Astini SSK2 model is a better alternative.
Care: To maintain the kit, regularly check all connections for leaks. Clean the trap and pipework periodically by flushing with hot water to prevent blockages from grease and debris. Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage the plastic components over time. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the exterior white finish.
