Bathroom Wastes

Learn more about bathroom wastes

Bathroom wastes cover the fittings that take water away from basins, baths and shower areas. If you're buying for a replacement job or a new fit out, start with the outlet size, the overflow position and the trap type, then check the product specifications before you add to your basket.

Typical uses

• Basins and vanity units use a sink waste, often paired with a bottle trap or P trap where space is tight under the unit.

• Bath tubs use a bath waste, commonly a pop up bath waste, connected to a bath trap on the outlet run.

• Shower areas use a shower waste and trap to carry water away from the shower tray or wet room floor.

• Bath overflows and waste overflow kits handle excess water and connect back into the waste run.

How to choose the right bathroom waste

• Start with the outlet size and work back through the connection to the existing waste pipe.

• Confirm whether the basin or bath needs an overflow.

• Consider the trap type.

Before you order

• Measure the waste outlet and the connected waste pipe before you choose a fitting, so the sizes match.

• On replacement jobs, note the current trap type, the plug mechanism, the overflow position and the clearance available under the basin, shower or bath.

• Read the product specifications to confirm compatibility with the rest of the bathroom plumbing.
