Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching.
The stainless steel finish is durable and resistant to corrosion, which helps prevent rusting in typical bathroom conditions.
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.
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.
Ensure tiles are cut accurately around the gully opening and that no excess adhesive or debris is preventing the grate from seating correctly.
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.
