This guide is for homeowners and plumbers seeking a reliable waste and overflow solution for sinks and baths. The McAlpine BSWCLS-OFSS offers a dual-functionality that prevents drain blockages while safeguarding against overflow, featuring a durable stainless steel flange and an easy-to-use spring-loaded plug. A minor consideration is that longer fixing ferrules are sold separately.

A basket strainer waste acts as a filter for your drain, catching food scraps and debris to prevent blockages in your pipes. It also includes an overflow mechanism to prevent flooding.
You can typically lift the basket strainer out of the fitting to remove trapped debris. Clean the stainless steel flange and chrome overflow grid with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
The stainless steel flange has a diameter of 113mm.
It includes a 41mm fixing ferrule. However, if your sink or bath material is thicker than what the 41mm ferrule accommodates, you will need to purchase a longer fixing ferrule (70mm or 90mm) separately.
Yes, this product is versatile and suitable for both kitchen sinks (to catch food debris) and bathroom sinks or baths (for general waste and overflow prevention).
The spring-loaded plug is pushed down to seal the waste outlet, and pushed again to release it, allowing water to drain. It's a simple and convenient mechanism for operating the drain.
The product is designed for a 1½" (approximately 41mm) waste pipe connection.
Ensure the securing nut underneath is tightened sufficiently to compress the sealing washer. Check that the sealing washer is correctly seated and not damaged. If using a thicker sink/bath material, ensure the correct length fixing ferrule is used.
Remove the plug and check for any debris caught in the mechanism or on the sealing surface. Ensure the plug is correctly seated in the waste outlet.
Check the overflow outlet and pipework for blockages. Ensure the overflow grid is clear of debris. Confirm that the overflow pipe is correctly connected and free of kinks.
Clean any debris from around the basket and the waste opening. Ensure it is aligned correctly before attempting to remove or insert.
