FAQs

What does 'slotted' vs 'unslotted' mean for this basin waste?

A 'slotted' waste is designed for basins that have an overflow hole. The slot allows water to drain away if the basin is overfilled. An 'unslotted' waste is for basins without an overflow hole.

What is the connection size of this basin waste?

The Nuie Universal Push Button Basin Waste has a standard G 1 ½ connection, which is the most common size for basin traps in the UK.

How often should I clean the basin waste?

For optimal performance and appearance, it's recommended to wipe the waste clean with a damp cloth after each use or daily. A more thorough clean can be done weekly or as needed.

Can I use this basin waste with a pedestal basin?

Yes, as long as the pedestal basin has a standard G 1 ½ waste outlet and you select the correct slotted or unslotted version, this waste is suitable.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Nuie Universal Push Button Basin Waste comes with a 1-year guarantee from the date of purchase.

How do I replace the plug mechanism if it breaks?

The push-button mechanism is typically part of the main waste assembly. If the mechanism fails within the warranty period, contact the retailer or Nuie customer service. For issues outside warranty, replacement of the entire waste unit might be necessary.

Is plumber's putty required for installation?

Yes, plumber's putty or a suitable silicone sealant is generally recommended to create a watertight seal between the basin and the waste flange during installation. This is usually not included with the waste unit.

Troubleshooting

Waste is not sealing properly

Ensure the correct version (slotted/unslotted) is used for your basin. Check that the internal mechanism is clear of debris and that the seal is seated correctly. Tighten fittings if necessary, but do not overtighten.

Water is draining too slowly

Check the connecting trap and pipework for any blockages. The push-button mechanism itself can also become partially blocked with hair or soap scum; clean the internal parts of the waste.

The push button is stiff or difficult to operate

Debris may be obstructing the mechanism. Carefully disassemble the top part of the push-button assembly (if possible following manufacturer instructions or consulting a professional) and clean out any buildup. Lubrication is generally not recommended for this type of fitting.

Brushed bronze finish is tarnishing or discolored

This is uncommon with quality materials but can occur with harsh chemical exposure. Clean the area with a soft cloth and mild soap, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This basin waste features a standard G 1 ½ connection, making it compatible with most UK basin plumbing. Crucially, you must select either the slotted version (if your basin has an overflow hole) or the unslotted version (if your basin does not have an overflow hole) to ensure proper function.

Setup: Installation typically involves fitting the waste through the basin’s waste hole and securing it from underneath with the provided fittings. It's recommended to use plumber's putty or silicone sealant (not included) to create a watertight seal between the basin and the waste flange. Ensure the connecting thread for the trap is aligned correctly.

Care: To maintain the brushed bronze finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive soap solution and rinse thoroughly before drying with a clean cloth.
