The primary difference is their diameter and typical application. A 1 1/4 inch waste (approx. 32mm) is standard for bathroom ceramic basins, while a 1 1/2 inch waste (approx. 40mm) is used for kitchen sinks which handle higher volumes of water and waste.
Basin waste is designed to block the plug hole so that you can fill your basin with water. You can then release the plug or popup when you are ready which will drain the water through the waste pipe.
Yes, in Kenya all basin wastes are 1 ¼ inches (32mm) in size but you can find bath/sink wastes that are 1 ½ inches (40mm) as well.
Our Clic Clack basin waste options include slotted and un-slotted wastes. A slotted waste has a hole for water draining through the basin overflow whereas un-slotted wastes have no overflow hole for basins that come without overflow holes.
In case you’re wondering “What is a basin overflow hole?”, It's a small hole which is located beneath the taps at the back of the basin which is there to help prevent water flooding if the tap is left on unattended.
Bottle traps are attached to basin waste (the same wastes above) beneath the basin and work to keep your washroom hygienic as they help to prevent odours and gases from rising up from your drainage system.
