FAQs
Is this basin waste suitable for basins with an overflow?
No, this basin waste is specifically designed for unslotted basins, meaning basins without an overflow hole. Using it on a basin with an overflow will mean the overflow function will not work.
How do I operate the click clack mechanism?
Simply push down on the cap to close the waste and hold water. Push down again to release the mechanism and allow water to drain.
What material is the basin waste made from?
The basin waste is constructed from high-quality brass.
How should I clean the brushed bronze finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to preserve the finish.
What is the benefit of an unslotted design?
An unslotted design is beneficial for basins without an overflow as it creates a seal to hold water. It also tends to be easier to clean as there are fewer crevices for grime to build up.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, basic DIY skills are usually sufficient for installation. Ensure you use appropriate sealant for a watertight finish and follow the setup instructions carefully.
Troubleshooting
Waste is not holding water (leaking)
Ensure the waste is correctly seated in the basin and that sufficient plumber's putty or sealant was used during installation. Check that the rubber seals are intact and properly positioned. Verify that the click clack mechanism is fully closed.
Click clack mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate
Small debris may be obstructing the mechanism. Gently try to remove any visible obstructions. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant might help, but avoid petroleum-based lubricants which can degrade rubber seals.
Finish is tarnished or discolored
Avoid abrasive cleaners. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. If the discoloration is significant, it may indicate a reaction with harsh chemicals. Ensure the basin is cleaned with non-corrosive cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This basin waste is specifically designed for use with basins that do not have an overflow hole. Attempting to use it with a basin that has an overflow will render the overflow feature ineffective.
Setup: Installation typically involves fitting the waste through the basin's drain hole and securing it from underneath using the provided fittings. It's recommended to use plumber's putty or a suitable sealant around the top flange to ensure a watertight seal with the basin. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened initially, then gently secured with appropriate tools if necessary, being careful not to overtighten.
Care: To maintain the brushed bronze finish, clean the waste regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive soap can be used. Periodically check the seal and the click clack mechanism for any debris that might impede its function.
