FAQs

Is this waste suitable for a bath with an overflow?

No, this is an unslotted waste and is not designed for baths with an overflow outlet.

What is the material of the waste?

The waste is made from high-quality polypropylene (PP) with a chrome effect finish.

What size is the threaded outlet?

The threaded outlet is a standard 1 1/2” size.

How do I clean the plug and chain waste?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I replace just the plug or chain?

While individual parts can sometimes be sourced, it is often more practical to replace the entire waste unit if components are significantly worn or damaged.

What is the main advantage of a plug and chain waste?

Its main advantage is the simple, manual control of water flow and the familiar, traditional operation.

Troubleshooting

Waste is not holding water

Ensure the plug is clean and seated correctly in the waste opening. Check the plug and chain for any damage that might prevent a proper seal.

Water draining slowly

The waste outlet may be partially blocked. Disconnect the waste pipe and clear any debris. Ensure the plug is fully removed when draining.

Chain has detached

Reattach the chain securely to the retaining ring or fitting. If the chain is damaged, replacement may be necessary.

Chrome effect is peeling

This is likely due to the use of abrasive cleaners. Gently clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. If peeling is extensive, the waste may need replacement.

  2. The plug and chain assembly is pre-attached. Insert the plug into the waste hole.
