FAQs
Does this basin waste include a trap?
No, this product is the basin waste unit itself and typically connects to an existing or separately purchased P-trap or bottle trap.
What is the 'FT' in FT collection?
FT stands for Finishing Touches, indicating that these products are designed to complete the aesthetic of a bathroom renovation.
Is the brushed bronze finish prone to tarnishing?
The brushed bronze finish is designed for durability and resistance to corrosion. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth helps maintain its appearance and prevents discoloration.
Can I use this basin waste with a basin without an overflow?
No, this click clack basin waste is designed to work with basins that have an overflow hole. The overflow system is integral to its proper function.
How do I clean the click clack mechanism?
The click clack mechanism can usually be unscrewed from below for cleaning. Remove any debris, soap scum, or hair, then reassemble. A mild soap and water solution is recommended.
What tools are typically needed for installation?
Basic tools such as a wrench or pliers for tightening the backnut, and potentially a screwdriver, are usually sufficient for installation.
Troubleshooting
Basin waste is leaking.
Ensure the backnut is tightened securely. Check that the rubber washer is correctly seated and not damaged. Verify that the basin itself does not have cracks around the drain hole.
Click clack mechanism is stiff or not operating smoothly.
Remove the waste (unscrew from underneath) and clean the mechanism thoroughly. Check for any obstructions like hair or soap residue. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.
Water is not draining effectively.
Check the connecting pipework for blockages. Ensure the click clack mechanism is fully open. The basin's overflow might also be blocked.
Finish appears dull or discolored.
Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the area is dried after use to prevent water spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Ensure you have a basin with a standard overflow hole. Unscrew the retaining nut from the bottom of the basin waste. Insert the top part of the waste through the basin's drain hole. From underneath, slide the rubber washer onto the threaded part, followed by the backnut. Tighten the backnut securely, ensuring a watertight seal. Attach any necessary connecting pipework. Test for leaks by running water into the basin.
Compatibility: This basin waste is designed to fit most standard basins with an overflow. It is compatible with basins featuring a standard UK or European-sized drain hole.
Care: To maintain the brushed bronze finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Periodically check the click clack mechanism for smooth operation and clear any debris that might obstruct it.
