Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this shower waste compatible with all shower trays?

It is compatible with trays that have a standard 70mm drain aperture.

Can I use this for a bathtub?

No, this product is specifically designed for shower trays and is not suitable for standard bathtub depths or overflow configurations.

What size pipe does this waste connect to?

It is designed for standard 1.5-inch (approx. 40mm) shower waste piping.

Does it come with a plug?

The CWS5 is a waste unit; please check your specific product packaging, as it is primarily designed as the drainage drain assembly.

How do I prevent the chrome from scratching?

Avoid using scouring pads or harsh acidic cleaners. Wipe with a damp microfiber cloth.

Troubleshooting

Leakage around the flange

Ensure the rubber gasket is seated correctly and the locking nut is tightened evenly.

Slow drainage

Check the waste pipe for hair or soap build-up and clear the trap area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, high-quality materials for long-term reliability
  • Standardized 1.5-inch sizing for easy integration
  • Sleek chrome-plated finish enhances bathroom aesthetics
  • Suitable for both commercial and residential environments

Cons

  • Requires specific 70mm tray aperture
  • Professional installation recommended for watertight seals
  • Limited to 1.5-inch piping systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the shower tray aperture is clear of debris. Place the waste body underneath the tray with the included gasket, then secure the chrome flange from the top. Use a plumber's wrench to tighten appropriately—do not over-tighten, as this can crack the tray. Compatibility is limited to 1.5-inch waste pipes and 70mm tray holes. For care, avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners on the chrome finish; instead, use a soft cloth and warm, soapy water to remove soap scum or mineral deposits.
