Basin waste top diameter

Oct 16, 2007 2 Replies

Hi



I am just about to start a "simple" job of replacing the taps and waste on a cloakroom sink prior to redecorating. I have just noticed that the diameter of the chrome top of the basin waste I have bought is 6cm (2.5/16") whereas the old one is 6.3cm (2.7/16")



I am concerned that the new one will be too small and not fill the hole in the basin. The sink was fitted approx. 27 years ago. Has the standard changed since then or are there different diameters available?



The one I have purchased is a MACDEE 1.1/4" BSP x 3.1/2" tail



Any advice would be appreciated



Thank you



John


Extremely unlikely that the difference in size of the rim will cause any problem at all.

Thanks for the reply, I will try it and see.
