FAQs
How do I remove the stopper?
The stopper is designed to be easily lifted and removed for cleaning and maintenance. Simply pull it upwards.
What tools do I need for installation?
You'll typically need a wrench or pliers to tighten the connections and possibly plumber's putty for a leak-proof seal.
Can I use this with any type of sink?
This waste is compatible with sinks that have a standard 1 ¼” outlet and those with an overflow. Always check the dimensions and design of your sink.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Use a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
What if the stopper gets stuck?
Try gently wiggling the stopper while pulling it upwards. Check for any debris that might be causing the obstruction and remove them.
Is the brass rust-proof?
Brass is highly resistant to corrosion, making it a suitable material for plumbing fixtures. However, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals should be avoided.
What if my sink doesn't have an overflow?
This waste is suitable even if your sink doesn't have an overflow, as the slotted design will not affect performance.
Troubleshooting
Leakage around the waste.
Check the sealing washers. Tighten the connections and ensure the washers are correctly positioned. Apply plumber's putty if necessary.
Slow draining.
Remove the stopper and clean out any debris from the waste and drainpipe.
Stopper doesn't seal properly.
Check for any obstructions. Ensure the stopper is correctly aligned and makes a good seal. The rubber seal might need to be replaced.
