Troubleshooting

Slow drainage

Check the stainless steel grate and the trap beneath for any hair or debris blockages. Clean as necessary. Ensure the waste pipe is not obstructed.

Leak at the outlet connection

Verify that the joint between the gully's outlet and the waste pipe is properly sealed using appropriate plumbing cement or sealant. Check for cracks in the pipe or gully outlet.

Gully grate does not sit flush

Ensure tiles are cut accurately around the gully opening and that no excess adhesive or debris is preventing the grate from seating correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant stainless steel finish integrates well with tile designs.
  • Vertical outlet simplifies installation in certain plumbing configurations.
  • Durable and corrosion-resistant for bathroom environments.
  • Designed for efficient drainage, preventing water pooling.
  • Suitable for modern bathroom aesthetics.

Cons

  • Limited to tiled floor installations.
  • Vertical outlet may not suit all plumbing setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation involves securing the gully body into the floor aperture, ensuring a watertight seal with the surrounding subfloor and waterproofing membrane. The vertical outlet should then be connected to the appropriate waste pipe using standard plumbing fittings and adhesives. The stainless steel grate is typically fitted last, allowing tiles to be laid around its perimeter.

Compatibility: This shower gully is designed for use with standard UK plumbing systems and is compatible with standard tiled flooring materials. Ensure your waste pipe configuration is suitable for a vertical outlet connection.

Care: Clean the stainless steel grate regularly with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can scratch the finish. Periodically check the trap and waste pipe for debris to maintain optimal drainage performance.
