How To Choose The Right Pop-Up Waste For Your Basin When The Plumber Comes

Are you unsure if your basin waste should be slotted or not? Are you confused about the choices in basin finishings? This guide will help you determine the type of basin waste that you require.

Choose a Slotted Basin Waste or Unslotted Basin Waste

If you don't know the difference between slotted and unslotted waste, it can be difficult to decide what basin waste, bottle trap, or finishings to use. You should note that many taps can come with a waste. It can be helpful to choose a tap before you make a decision. It is crucial to know the correct waste. The wrong waste can cause water to leak onto your floor, or even your overflow not to work or vice versa.

What's an Overflow?

It is essential to first understand what an "overflow" is. Once you do, you will be able to identify the waste your basin needs. An overflow is a small hole that allows water to drain away from the basin when it fills up too much. They are usually located at the bottom of the basin, under the tap.

What's a Waste?

A waste can be used for any type of basin: countertop, wall-hung, or pedestal. Waste is a channel that allows the water from your basin to drain away. It can also be used to prevent water from escaping through the pipes, allowing you to fill your basin with water.

Do you need slotted or unslotted?

A slotted waste basin is required if your basin has an excess. Use unslotted waste if your basin has an overflow. Victorian Plumbing makes sure all our products are clearly marked as slotted or unslotted. This will make it easy to choose the right product for you.

Different types of waste

What is Plug and Chain Waste?

This is the oldest form of waste. This is a type of waste that consists of a metal or plastic plug that is attached to a chain. The chain can be used to cover or place the waste hole, or it can be put to one side when not in use. You may find that modern basins don't have a hole that can be used for the chain. Ask before you make your purchase.

What's a Click Clack Waste?

Because it is simple and easy to use, this is the most popular waste option. To close the stopper, push it down once and then click it again to release it. Click clack is also known as push button wastes, sprung plug, or push button wastes.

What's a Flip Top Waste?

A stopper is a disc-shaped object hinged vertically. Water can flow through the stopper or it can be stopped from filling the basin. It is simple in design and has an easy-to-use function.

What's a Pop-Up Waste?

You can do this by using a lever operation. To lower the waste stopper, pull it up or push it down to create a barrier.
