Which Carron Phoenix Replacement Plug to buy?

Essential Guide to buying Carron Phoenix Replacement Plug

Please read this guide below before purchasing any plug on our website as we have put all the information here.

The main issue is that often we do not know what waste kit (and therefore plug) was fitted with your sink.  It is not unheard of for a Kitchen Installer to use a different waste kit than the one that normally goes with a sink.

Why is this important ? because when fitting a sink the plug and cup (that the plug is fitted into) go together.  So if you have different plug i.e designed for a different cup, they won’t work.  All is not lost ! the worst case scenario if you find yourself in that position is that you will need to buy a new cup and plug (and then we would also recommend buying some spare plugs too at the same time).

Disclaimer: We have no way of knowing whether or not the waste and plumbing kit used was the original waste and plumbing kit supplied by Carron Phoenix. That is why it is so important to check the measurements that are supplied with each plug and also compare pictures. While we offer full refunds, we will not offer a refund for the postage cost of returning a plug should it not fit.
