FAQs
What material is the Securplumb Waste Spigot made from?

Will this spigot corrode over time?
No, being made of plastic, it is resistant to corrosion and rust.
What is the color of the waste spigot?
The spigot comes in a standard white finish.
Is this product leakproof?
Yes, the spigot is designed for a leakproof seal when installed correctly into a compatible waste pipe.
Troubleshooting
Spigot is difficult to push into the waste pipe.
Ensure the end of the waste pipe is clean and free from obstructions. Slightly moistening the seal on the spigot can also aid insertion.
Leak detected after installation.
Verify the spigot is fully and evenly pushed into the waste pipe. Check for any damage to the seal or the waste pipe connection point. Ensure any supporting washers or seals are correctly seated.
Slow drainage after installation.
This is likely an issue with the waste pipe itself, not the spigot. Check for blockages further down the drain line.
