How to find the correct size Pop-up Waste


Have you decided to a bathroom renovation but are unsure how to choose the right size pop-up waste for your basin? Don’t worry! We’ve prepared this guide to help you select the correct size pop-up waste and ensure you get it right the first time.

What are the benefits of a pop-up waste over a traditional waste?

Compared to traditional plugs and wastes, modern pop-up wastes offer more efficient water drainage, greater convenience, and a design that helps prevent mechanism failure. The click-clack mechanism is user-friendly, eliminating the need to worry about losing the plug or finding a place to store it, as traditional plugs can be quite unattractive.

What types of pop-up wastes are available?

Like pop-down wastes, pop-up wastes feature a click-clack mechanism. The most popular options are pop-up wastes with an overflow and those without an overflow.

Today, you can also match your pop-up waste with other bathroom fixtures. Chrome, brushed gold, brushed nickel, and gunmetal pop-up wastes are popular trends among interior designers and trade customers.

How do I choose the right size pop-up waste for my bathroom basin?

Some pop-up wastes are compatible with various types of basins, such as above-counter/vessel and undermount basins.
To choose the correct size pop-up waste for your basin, check the diameter of the waste hole in your basin's specifications. Most basins in Australia have standard sizes:
  • 32 mm
  • 40 mm
These measurements refer to the part that fits inside the basin. Please consult a licensed professional plumber for advice.

You can find 32 mm pop-up wastes with an adapter to 40 mm, which connects to the standard 40 mm pipes.
Most of these products are also suitable for bathtubs.
