Slotted vs Unslotted — Which Do I Need?
This is a slotted basin waste, designed for basins with an overflow hole (the small opening near the top rim of the basin). The slot allows overflow water to drain safely. If your basin has an overflow hole, you need a slotted waste. If your basin has no overflow, you need an unslotted waste instead.
Why Choose Brass & Metal Over Plastic?
Solid brass construction provides superior strength and longevity, resisting cracking and degradation from cleaning chemicals or temperature changes. Chrome-plated brass maintains its lustrous finish indefinitely, while plastic can discolour and become brittle. The metal plug creates a better seal, and the metal chain won't perish or break like plastic chains often do.
Installation & Compatibility
Designed for standard UK basins with 60mm waste holes and overflow openings. Compatible with wall-hung, pedestal, countertop, and vanity unit basins. Connects to standard 32mm (1¼") basin bottle traps or P-traps. Suitable for competent DIY — professional fitting recommended for best results.
Maintenance & Care
Wipe the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Periodically remove the plug to clear hair or debris. Clean the metal chain with mild soap and water to maintain its shine.
