I am installing two bower sink waste strainers recently purchased from yourselves.
The nuts on the McAlpine fitting kit that I am using keep coming loose, it seems like the threads on the bower fittings are not standard 40mm.
Could you tell me what size/make of fittings will work

Installation without overflow: If you do not need to install the overflow parts; place the plastic cap (16) and rubber washer (17) onto the waste body (9). Then tighten using the plastic nut (7) and proceed to install the waste to the sink (see waste installation and ignore overflow installation). Waste Installation: Remove the basket strainer (14) and waste screw (13), then place the flange (12) and foam washer (11) above the sink hole.

Overflow Installation: Unscrew the overflow screw (1), then remove the overflow cover (2) and rubber washer (3). Place the overflow elbow (5) and rubber washer (3 or 4) at the rear of the overflow hole sink (as shown in the diagram below). Place the cover (2 or 15) over the overflow hole in front of the sink, tighten the screw (1) to secure cover to the elbow.
