Whoops, there are none available in your area
View all productsTurner Hastings wastes and traps are the basket wastes and P-trap or bottle trap fittings designed to pair with the brand's fireclay Novi and Cuisine sink ranges. They come in chrome, brushed nickel, matte black and brass finishes so you can match the waste to your tapware rather than settle for a generic stainless fitting under a premium sink.
Why the waste and trap matter with a fireclay sink
A fireclay sink is a heavy, fixed piece of kitchen infrastructure, so getting the waste right the first time matters more than it does with a lightweight stainless bowl. Turner Hastings basket wastes are sized and shaped to sit correctly in the drain bore of the Novi and Cuisine ranges, which means no packing washers or awkward adaptors to make a universal waste fit a non-standard opening. The basket strainer catches food scraps and debris before they reach the trap, and lifts out for cleaning without tools.
Matching finishes to your kitchen tapware
Most kitchens now run a single finish across the tap, the waste and any exposed plumbing under the sink, and Turner Hastings covers the finishes that come up most often in that mix. Chrome remains the safe, low-maintenance default. Brushed nickel softens the look next to warm timber cabinetry. Matte black continues to be the most requested upgrade for contemporary kitchens, and brass suits a heritage or Hamptons-style fitout where the Novi's classic fireclay lines are already doing a lot of the work. Choosing the waste in the same finish as the tap avoids the slightly unfinished look of a chrome waste sitting under a matte black or brass mixer.
Basket waste vs trap, and why you need both
The basket waste sits inside the sink itself and controls what goes down the drain. The trap sits underneath, in the cabinet, and holds a small amount of water that stops sewer gas from coming back up through the plug hole. Turner Hastings offers both P-traps, which connect straight through the wall, and bottle traps, which are more compact and easier to access if you ever need to retrieve something dropped down the drain. Bottle traps also tend to look neater in an open vanity or exposed under-sink cabinet, which is worth considering if your cabinetry doesn't fully conceal the plumbing.
Fitting a waste to a Novi or Cuisine sink
Both the Novi butler sink range and the Cuisine inset range use standard drain openings, so a Turner Hastings waste and trap set will install the same way a licensed plumber would fit any quality basket waste, through the drain hole with a sealant bead and a locking nut underneath. Because the components are designed as a set, you avoid the mismatched thread or seal issues that sometimes come up when a generic hardware store waste is forced onto a fireclay sink's drain bore. If you're replacing an existing waste rather than fitting a new sink, checking the drain hole diameter before ordering will save a return trip.
Choosing the right finish and style for your project
If you're already committed to a Turner Hastings sink, the simplest approach is to select the waste and trap in the same finish as your tapware, then decide between a P-trap or bottle trap based on how much clearance you have in the cabinet below. For a fully matched under-sink look, a bottle trap in the same finish as the waste and tap gives a considered, complete appearance rather than a mix of leftover fittings from different projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Turner Hastings wastes fit any kitchen sink?
They're designed to fit the drain openings on Turner Hastings' own Novi and Cuisine fireclay sink ranges. They'll generally suit any sink with a standard drain bore, but checking the diameter first avoids a mismatch.
What finishes are available for Turner Hastings wastes and traps?
Chrome, brushed nickel, matte black and brass. Matching the waste to your tap finish gives the cleanest look under the sink.
Should I choose a P-trap or a bottle trap?
A P-trap connects straight through the wall and suits fully enclosed cabinetry. A bottle trap is more compact, easier to access if something falls down the drain, and looks neater in open or exposed under-sink spaces.
Does the basket waste come out for cleaning?
Yes, the basket strainer lifts out without tools so you can clear food scraps and debris regularly. Removing it every so often also helps prevent slow drainage over time.
Can I install a Turner Hastings waste myself?
Basic waste and trap installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic plumbing, but a licensed plumber is recommended to ensure the seal is correct and there's no risk of leaks under a fixed fireclay sink.
