Hello,
I bought a plastic bath waste from Screwfix (I didn't realise it was plastic at the time, IIRC the catalogue is a bit misleading). Unfortunately I screwed it too tight and the plastic cracked and the bath leaked.
So I bought another and screwed it loosely; so loosely it leaked again ;)
So I've now bought a metal waste from BES, so that this cannot break if I overtighten it. The problem is that it does not come with instructions, nor can BES supply any. They gave me the manufacturer's email but they haven't replied.
It is a slotted metal waste that obviously drops through the plughole but there is a plastic "thing" that fits around the waste under the bath. This covers the slot, so that the overfow can be connected. The only way I can describe the plastic "thing" is to say it is like a circular one-way conduit box: a circle with a bit extending, onto which the overflow pipe is connected.
I cannot see how I make this plastic thing make a watertight seal. there don't seem to be enough washers in the kit. There is also a rigid "washer", a donought of black plastic that is a few millimetres thick and I can't see the point of that? Surely a washer should be flexible; a thick, rigid washer will not make a watertight seal.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
