Pulse Waste Bath-Sink Pop-Up Cp 40mm

The Pulse 40mm Chrome Plated (CP) Pop-Up Waste is a modern, spring-loaded drainage fitting designed for both baths and larger bathroom vanity basins. This "click-clack" style waste replaces traditional plugs and chains, offering a sleek, flush-mount finish and easy fingertip operation for residential and commercial bathrooms in the Heidelberg - GP region.

Technical Specifications

• Size: 40mm (1½") BSP Thread (Standard for South African baths and large basins).
• Material: Solid Brass body with a high-gloss Chrome Plated (CP) finish.
• Mechanism: Internal stainless steel "Click-Clack" spring cartridge.
• Type: Universal design (suitable for both overflow and non-overflow fixtures).
• Seal: Heavy-duty silicone or EPDM rubber gaskets included.

Key Performance Features

• Fingertip Operation: A simple "press-to-close, press-to-open" action eliminates the need for messy rubber plugs. The high-tension internal spring ensures a positive seal even under a full 150L or 200L bath load.
• Durable CP Finish: The triple-layered chrome plating is engineered to resist the "pitting" and corrosion often caused by mineral-heavy water and the cleaning chemicals used during the Winter Bulk 2026 maintenance cycle.
• High-Flow Drainage (L/min): When in the "open" position, the pop-up cap sits high enough to allow rapid water discharge, preventing soap scum and hair from lingering in the basin or tub.
• Removable Cap: The top chrome cover can be unscrewed by hand, allowing you to easily remove hair and debris from the strainer without needing a Kaufmann shifting spanner.
• Universal Fitting: Features a long threaded tail that can accommodate thick-walled acrylic baths or standard ceramic basins, making it a versatile item for your Easter 2026 renovation inventory.

Installation & Professional Tips

• Seal Placement: Place the thickest silicone washer on the top side (inside the bath/basin) and the foam or rubber washer on the underside. This creates a watertight sandwich that prevents leaks onto the floor.
• No Putty Needed: Modern Pulse wastes use high-quality silicone seals. Avoid using old-fashioned plumber’s putty, as it can dry out and crack over time. If the surface is uneven, a small bead of clear sanitary silicone is sufficient.
• Tightening: Hand-tighten the plastic or brass back-nut first. Use a Kaufmann shifting spanner for a final quarter-turn only. Over-tightening can crack the ceramic basin or distort the rubber seals.
• Trap Connection: The 40mm thread connects directly to a standard Wirquin or MacNeil P-trap. Ensure you use 5–8 wraps of PTFE Pipe Thread Tape on the waste threads to guarantee a gas-tight connection.
• Spring Maintenance: If the "click" mechanism becomes sticky due to lime-scale, unscrew the cap and spray a small amount of Spanjaard Silicone Spray into the spring cartridge to restore smooth movement.

Common Use Cases

• Modern Bathroom Vanities: Providing a high-end look for basins with 40mm outlets.
• Acrylic & Steel Baths: Replacing old-style plug-and-chain wastes with a safer, flush-mount alternative.
• Hospitality Upgrades: Standardizing bathroom hardware for hotels or guesthouses for the Easter 2026 peak season.

Pro Tip: If the bath or basin has a built-in overflow hole, ensure you use the "slotted" version of this waste (or ensure the included gaskets don't block the overflow intake). For a perfectly matching set, pair this waste with a Pulse Chrome Basin Mixer to maintain a consistent aesthetic across the entire bathroom suite.
