The McAlpine Basin Plug, Chain & Stay (Bp3) is designed for homeowners and plumbing professionals seeking a reliable, permanent solution to keep basin plugs accessible and secure. Its key benefit is a durable chain and stay mechanism that prevents the plug from being lost or accidentally washing away, ensuring a functional drain system at all times. Please note that this product requires a basin waste fitting with a compatible mounting hole for the stay to be installed properly.

It is designed for standard basins, but you must ensure your basin waste fitting has a specific hole for the chain stay to attach.
Yes, the product is crafted from corrosion-resistant materials specifically intended for wet bathroom environments.
While the Bp3 is sold as a complete set, you can generally replace individual components if you find a matching McAlpine part, though replacing the whole set is recommended for uniformity.
Wipe the chain down with a soft, damp cloth after cleaning the sink to remove excess moisture and prevent mineral deposits.
The stay provides a fixed anchor point, ensuring the plug remains attached to the basin and cannot be accidentally lost.
Check if the chain is tangled or too short, which may be pulling the plug out of alignment; adjust the connection as needed.
Verify that the nut or locking mechanism on the underside of the stay is fully tightened against the basin waste fitting.
To install, ensure your basin waste fitting includes an existing small hole for the stay mechanism. Insert the stay into the hole, ensuring it is tightened securely so it does not rotate. The chain connects the stay to the plug; check that the chain length allows the plug to seat fully into the waste opening without tension. For maintenance, clean the plug and chain periodically with a non-abrasive household cleaner to prevent soap scum and lime scale buildup, which can dull the material over time.
