Shower Wastes

Fast flow wastes for shower trays, 90mm to fit the standard tray aperture, in chrome, matt black, brushed brass and white. A fast flow rating matters more in a shower than anywhere else, because a slow waste means standing in water.

If you are fitting a large rain head or a shower with body jets, flow rate at the waste is the constraint people forget. A tray that drains slower than the shower delivers will pool, however well it is laid.

What to check

• Tray aperture: 90mm is standard on almost all UK trays, but measure before ordering.
• Flow rate: match it to the shower head you are fitting, not just the tray.
• Height below the tray: low profile trays need a shallow waste and trap to fit in the space.
• Removable grate makes clearing hair from the trap far less unpleasant.

Also in this range: all wastes and traps, showers and traps.

Frequently asked questions

Will a 90mm waste fit my shower tray?

90mm is the standard aperture on UK shower trays, so it fits the large majority. Measure the hole in your tray before ordering, particularly on an older or non-UK tray.

Why does flow rate matter on a shower waste?

Because the waste sets the limit, not the shower. A high-flow rain head paired with a slow waste leaves you standing in water, so the two need to be matched.
