FAQs
Is this waste kit compatible with all sinks?
No, this is specifically designed for traditional Belfast-style sinks with a slotted overflow.
Does it come with the necessary fixings?
Yes, the kit includes the waste unit, poly plug, and the chain and stay mechanism.
What is the purpose of the 'slotted' design?
The slots allow water from the sink's overflow hole to enter the waste pipe, preventing water from spilling over the edge.
How often should I clean the plug?
It is recommended to rinse the plug and wipe the surrounding area after heavy use to prevent grime buildup.
Can I install this myself?
Installation is straightforward, but if you are unfamiliar with plumbing, it is recommended to consult a professional to ensure a leak-free seal.
Troubleshooting
Water drains slowly from the sink
Check the waste pipe for debris or hair accumulation and ensure the overflow path is clear of obstructions.
The plug does not hold water in the sink
Inspect the rubber gasket on the poly plug for damage or build-up; clean or replace if the seal is compromised.
Leakage around the base of the sink hole
Ensure the washer and backnut are tightened securely and verify that the plumbing putty or sealant is evenly applied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the PSWWAS368201 requires basic plumbing tools and careful alignment with the existing sink waste hole and overflow path. Ensure that all rubber seals are positioned correctly before tightening the waste flange to prevent potential leaks. Regarding care, the poly plug should be rinsed regularly to remove debris, and the chain assembly should be wiped down occasionally to prevent mineral buildup. Avoid using harsh abrasive chemicals directly on the finish to ensure the longevity of the waste unit. Always verify your Belfast sink dimensions match the standard waste hole diameter before installation.
