French manufacturer Wirquin has introduced two shower wastes to the UK market. The Tourbillon 50 and the Tourbillon 50 with dome have a 50mm diameter outlet with a water seal of 50mm. The main body of the waste outlet, the flat grid and dome are made in ABS, the flat grid and dome are chrome plated. In the dome version, the dome is simply pushed down on the white grid and is secured by locking guide protrusions on the underside. By simply withdrawing the flat grid or dome/grid from the body of the outlet, the waste basket is then removed and cleaned in warm water. The basket is the replaced using the guide location rails provided in the trap and the grid simply pushed home into the trap. The height of the waste is just 82mm deep, which is said to make it one of the most compact wastes on the market with a 50mm seal, complying with UK Building Regulations. The outlet is supplied with a compression fitting.
