Basin Wastes

Match the waste to the basin overflow

Check whether the chosen basin has an overflow and confirm the appropriate waste configuration from the basin and waste documentation. The Standard Universal pop up waste is listed for use with or without overflow; check the selected product’s connection and fitting instructions for the basin being installed.

The antique brass pop up waste has separate with-overflow and no-overflow options. Select the required configuration as well as the finish. A colour match does not establish that the waste suits the basin.

Compare how the plug operates and is cleaned

The current selection includes pop up and pop down designs. The WL pop down waste lists a removable cartridge, while the Universal pop up listing describes a pull-out plug for cleaning. Compare the opening action and access for cleaning on the actual model.

Check the outlet connection, supplied adapters and space below the basin against the plumbing layout. Review whether the waste is included with the basin or needs to be ordered separately.

Distinguish the waste from related fittings

A basin waste, an overflow ring and a bottle trap serve different roles. An overflow ring finishes the overflow opening; it does not replace the waste assembly. Compare bottle traps for the connection below an exposed basin and confirm that the selected components work together.

Review the chosen finish and inclusions for each item at Melbourne Bathroom Shop. Check model-specific dimensions and installation requirements before ordering the basin, waste and trap as a coordinated set.
