Product Information

Full details

The Top-Fix Slotted Basin Waste is designed for bathroom sinks with an overflow, offering a quick and frustration-free installation process for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. Its key benefit is the innovative Top-Fix technology, allowing installation and securing from above the basin, eliminating the need for awkward access from below. A potential caveat is its specific suitability for slotted basins and compatible thicknesses.

FAQs

What is Top-Fix technology?

Top-Fix technology allows the basin waste to be installed and secured entirely from the top of the basin, eliminating the need to access from underneath.

Do I need a basin with an overflow for this waste?

Yes, this is a slotted basin waste, meaning it is designed to work with basins that have an overflow hole.

How do I operate the click clack mechanism?

Simply push the top of the waste to open or close the drain. A light push typically opens it, and another push closes it.

What is the finish of the basin waste?

The basin waste features a high-quality chrome finish, providing a modern and durable appearance.

Can this waste be used in any bathroom sink?

It is compatible with standard UK bathroom basins. For slotted basins, the thickness should be at least 40mm.

Does it come with the tool needed for installation?

Yes, it includes a 14mm socket tool for tightening the internal nut during installation.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Waste is leaking around the seal.

Ensure the internal nut is tightened sufficiently to compress the rubber seal. Check that the seal is seated correctly and free from debris.

Click clack mechanism is stiff or not operating smoothly.

Remove the waste and clean the mechanism. Check for any obstructions. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.

Water drains slowly.

Check the basin's overflow for blockages. Ensure the plug is fully open. Clean any debris from the waste outlet.

Difficulty tightening the internal nut.

Ensure you are using the correct 14mm socket tool. If using a power tool, verify the torque setting is not too high, as recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly easier installation from above, saving time and effort.
  • Ideal for retrofits, confined spaces, and DIY projects.
  • The click-clack mechanism is simple and convenient to use.
  • Durable chrome finish is attractive and easy to clean.
  • Suitable for basins with an overflow, preventing water backup.

Cons

  • Requires a basin with an overflow; not suitable for unslotted basins.
  • Specific thickness requirements for slotted basins (at least 40MM).
  • May require a specific tool (included 14mm socket) for tightening.
  • Reliance on the rubber seal for watertightness might require careful fitting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the basin has an overflow hole.
  2. Drop the new waste assembly into the basin.
  3. From underneath, tighten the internal nut using the included 14mm socket tool. For power drills, do not exceed torque setting level 5.
  4. The rubber seal will compress to create a watertight seal.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for standard UK bathroom basins with an overflow.
  • For slotted basins, the basin thickness must be at least 40mm.
  • For unslotted basins (though this is a slotted waste), thicknesses of 0.5mm to 20mm.

Care:

  • Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can scratch the surface.
  • Periodically check the click-clack mechanism for smooth operation.
