Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q1: What size do I need for my sink or bath?
Use a measuring tape to determine the internal diameter of your waste outlet. Most bathroom basins use 1 1/2″, while larger kitchen sinks and baths often use 1 3/4″.
Q2: Is the plug compatible with metal and plastic waste fittings?
Yes. The flexible rubber design ensures compatibility and a tight seal on both metal and plastic fittings.
Q3: Does it come with a chain?
The plug includes a fitted metal eyelet for chain attachment, but the chain itself is sold separately unless specified by the retailer.
Q4: Can it be used with boiling water?
It is suitable for use with hot water from domestic taps, but prolonged exposure to boiling water may shorten its lifespan.
Q5: Is the black plug just for aesthetics, or does it serve another purpose?
The black colour is primarily aesthetic, offering a contemporary or discrete appearance. It may also be preferred in commercial or utility environments due to its resistance to visible staining.
Q6: Will it stain or discolour over time?
The plug is made from non-porous black rubber, which resists common stains and discoloration better than white plugs. Proper cleaning will help maintain its appearance.
Q7: Can I use this plug outdoors or in garden sinks?
Yes, the plug is suitable for both indoor and outdoor sinks as long as the waste outlet matches the size and it’s not exposed to extreme conditions continuously.
