FAQs

Can I use this basin waste with a basin that has an overflow hole?

No, this Wirquin Macdee Quick-Clac Basin Waste is an unslotted version and is specifically designed for basins that do *not* have an internal overflow hole.

What material is the basin waste made of?

The body of the basin waste is made of 100% chrome-plated brass, ensuring high reliability and resistance to corrosion.

How long is the Wirquin Macdee Quick-Clac mechanism guaranteed to last?

The brass quick clac mechanism has been tested to withstand at least 50,000 opening/closing cycles, which equates to over 34 years of typical daily use.

Is the installation process difficult?

No, the design includes an ergonomic metal backnut and a complete kit of washers, making installation quick, easy, and designed to achieve a perfect watertight seal.

What does the corrosion resistance guarantee mean?

The top-level chrome plating complies with the neutral salt spray (NSS) 200h test (ISO 9227) with a Grade 10 result (ISO 10289), indicating excellent resistance to corrosion.

How should I clean and maintain the basin waste?

Clean the chrome surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Waste does not seal properly / leaks.

Ensure all washers are correctly seated and the metal backnut is securely tightened. Verify that the basin does not have an overflow, as this waste is designed for unslotted basins only.

Mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check for any debris lodged in the mechanism. Ensure the waste is installed correctly and not under undue stress from the plumbing. A small amount of silicone lubricant can sometimes help.

Chrome finish appears dull or discolored.

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If the discoloration is significant, it may indicate prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or water impurities.
