Troubleshooting

Overflow pipe is leaking at the grille connection.

Ensure the rubber seal on the grille is properly seated and the assembly is tightened securely against the basin. Check for any damage to the seal.

Water is not draining through the overflow.

Check for blockages within the grille itself or at the connection to the waste trap. Ensure the flexible pipe is not kinked or flattened.

Grille does not fit securely.

Verify that the washbasin thickness is within the 0-12 mm range. If the basin is too thick, this overflow pipe will not provide a secure fit.

Flexible pipe appears kinked.

Gently unkink the pipe, ensuring not to crease or damage the material. Re-route the pipe to avoid sharp bends.
