Click clack waste

[Howie153]

Sorry if this seems trivial but a friend has moved in a new build and has had trouble with basin waste sticking click clack type , the site agent has told her to spray waste with wd 40 is this a recognised practice or just an easy cop out .
cheers howy.

I agree get them to change it. saying to use wd40 is a copout.

Click Clack wastes are always getting stuck or break. Get them back in and change it for a flip top waste with an o-ring seal. Cant go wrong!

Hi Centurion101 and shauncobs , firstly can you give me a bit more info on flip top waste , and plug and chain is no go i think because no hole for chain fixing . cheers howy .

hi Howy

take a look at the photo attached, this is what he means as a flip top.

these can as Shaun says become stuck also.

I have never had a Flip top waste with an o-ring ever get stuck. Flip top waste without the o-ring do get stuck when a bit of grit (sand etc) get in it.
