Get a MacAlpine basin waste..no silicon or putty required ..regards Turnpin
This is interesting. I was taught to silicone (or Plumber's Gold) the threads. Is the consensus that this is not as good as PTFE/Loctite 55 etc?
dont use ptfe or 55 on wastes
I always use ptfe tape on the threads where the back nut is to tighten. Never any problems, although has to be accurately to right threads area.
isnt it a pain to tighten up?
Not everything mate. I follow manufactures instructions and in most nowadays it says use a bead of silicone. Why would I question that??Why do some people get so much trouble with the most basic jobs, go back to old school method's never get any problems, Mind all the old skills are being lost, For most people Silicone & PTFE seem to be the answer for everything.

I agree mate. Novices by cheap. The decent brands have instructions.Well maybe that's one of the problems ! No one seems to question anything anymore, and items like these don't tend to come with fitting instructions, and that's where the novice comes unstuck.
