This basin fixing kit is for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to securely install or replace a bathroom basin. Its key benefit is providing all essential hardware for a stable mounting, along with a pre-attached flexible hose for immediate water connection, saving time on separate purchases. A potential caveat is that the hose length is fixed at 300mm, which may not suit all plumbing layouts.

The flexible hose features a 1/2" connection for the water supply and a 15mm connection for the tap tail, which is standard for most UK plumbing systems.
The kit provides standard fixings. For exceptionally heavy basins or walls that may not be structurally sound, it is recommended to use additional or heavy-duty wall anchors appropriate for the specific wall material and basin weight.
No, the Basin Fixing Kit & Flexible Hose does not include a basin waste or sealant. These items need to be purchased separately.
The included flexible hose is 300mm in length.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish.
The kit includes general-purpose fixings. For optimal security, always use wall anchors specifically designed for your wall type (e.g., brick, plasterboard, concrete).
Basic tools typically required include a drill, drill bits, a screwdriver (often Phillips head), a spirit level, and a measuring tape.
Ensure all screws are fully tightened into the wall plugs. If the wall is soft, consider using stronger anchors or reinforcing the wall behind the fixing points.
Check that the hose olives or seals are correctly seated and that the compression nuts are tightened firmly but not excessively. Ensure the tap tail and isolation valve threads are clean and undamaged.
The provided fixings may not be suitable for your specific wall type (e.g., plasterboard, aerated concrete). Consult a hardware store for appropriate heavy-duty fixings designed for your wall material.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This kit is designed for use with standard bathroom basins that have pre-drilled mounting holes. The 1/2" connection on the flexible hose is standard for most UK water systems. Ensure your wall type can support the weight of the basin and water; use appropriate drill bits and wall fixings if the provided ones are unsuitable.
Care:
Periodically check the tightness of the fixing screws and the flexible hose connections. Clean the kit components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or materials.
