FAQs

What size pipe does this kit connect to?

This kit is designed for 1½" (40mm) waste pipe systems.

Can I connect both a washing machine and a dishwasher?

The kit has one spigot which can accept discharge from either a washing machine or a dishwasher, but typically not both simultaneously unless using a Y-connector on the appliance side.

What materials can the universal outlet connect to?

The universal outlet is suitable for connecting to plastic, copper, and lead pipes.

Does the kit come with all necessary fittings for installation?

The kit comes with the main polypropylene components required to connect your bowl and a half sink to the waste outlet, including the spigot. You may need additional pipe, sealant, or specific connectors depending on your existing plumbing setup.

How do I ensure the 75mm water seal is effective?

The water seal is naturally formed as water fills the trap. Ensure the trap is installed correctly and not blocked, allowing water to remain in the U-bend. Avoid excessive siphoning by ensuring proper ventilation in your plumbing system.

Is this kit suitable for a single bowl sink?

No, this kit is specifically designed for 'bowl and a half' sink configurations. It has multiple inlets to accommodate two sink bowls and an additional appliance.

Troubleshooting

Slow draining from sink or appliance

Check for blockages in the sink traps, the kit's internal pathways, or the connected appliance's hose. Ensure the 1½" waste pipe is clear and has adequate fall.

Water seal not holding / odors present

Ensure the 75mm water seal is properly formed and not being siphoned out. Check that all connections are airtight. Verify the trap is installed in the correct orientation.

Leaks at connections

Re-tighten fittings, ensuring they are snug but not overtightened. Inspect seals and washers for damage or wear and replace if necessary. Use appropriate plumbing tape or sealant for threaded connections.

Washing machine/dishwasher hose doesn't fit spigot

Verify you are using the correct spigot. Ensure the hose clamp is secure. If the hose is a non-standard size, consider a universal hose adapter if available and compatible.

Cons

  • Limited to 1½" pipe systems.
  • May require specific tools for installation.
  • Not suitable for larger diameter waste pipes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the 1½" waste pipe is accessible and clean. Connect the main sink traps to the appropriate inlets on the kit. Attach the washing machine or dishwasher discharge hose to the provided spigot. Use appropriate sealants or compression fittings as required for your pipe type (plastic, copper, or lead). The adjustable inlet can be maneuvered for optimal alignment before tightening connections.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for 1½" (40mm) waste pipe systems. It is compatible with plastic, copper, and lead pipes at the universal outlet. The spigot is designed to accept standard washing machine or dishwasher discharge hoses.

Care: The kit is made from polypropylene, which is easy to clean. Periodically inspect all connections for leaks. To clean, wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the material. Regular flushing with hot water can help prevent build-up within the pipes.
