Basin waste - flip with a little handle

Featured Replies

Trying to decide on basin wastes: "Flip" vs "click-clack" vs "pop up".

 

Has anyone got one of these? I wonder what they are like in reality. 

 

Looks quite nice. (It's a McAlpine BW60SPH-CB).

That’s interesting. The flips I have used get stuck as they must expand a bit with heat transfer. Click clacks never seem to work and pop up controls are not an option with every tap. 
Go for it and report back😁 we have just started an en suite refurbishment due to a hidden leak

We have click clack and no problems.  Have prevously had problems with plugs operated by some form of remote control from a lever on the tap, not least if you you need to replace the tap you have to replace the waste as well.

They're usually in high-end hotels etc, very nice tbh and no complexity / multi-component failures that often go with these things.

 

In absolute honesty these are the least of anyone's worries, as they are changed for a new (replacement) in around 15-20 mins or so. More of a worry for the bath if boxed in, or the shower unit if tiled in on a flush floor arrangement.
