FAQs

What is the size of the waste connection?

The McAlpine BSW12C has a 1¼" BSP (British Standard Pipe) connection.

What materials is the basin waste made from?

The body is made of black plastic, and the flange is stainless steel.

Can I install this myself?

While it is possible to install it yourself, it is recommended to have it installed by a qualified plumber to ensure proper installation and prevent leaks.

How do I clean the basin waste?

Regularly clean the slotted waste and surrounding areas with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What should I do if the waste is leaking?

Check the connections for tightness, and examine the seals for any damage. Retighten connections or replace the seals as needed. If the leak persists, consult a plumber.

Does this basin waste come with a chain and stay?

It is available with or without a chain and stay, depending on the specific model you purchase.

How long should the McAlpine BSW12C last?

Troubleshooting

Slow draining water

Clear any debris or blockages from the slotted waste and the drainpipe. You may need to use a plumbing snake or other tools to remove clogs.

Leakage around the basin waste

Check the connections for tightness. If the leak persists, check for any damage to the seals. Re-tighten the backnut or replace the seals as needed.

Plug not sealing properly

Inspect the plug for any damage and ensure it is properly seated in the waste. Replace the plug if necessary.

Corrosion on the stainless steel flange

Clean the flange regularly with a mild detergent and water. If corrosion is significant, consider replacing the flange.
