DUSC Core Rectangular Countertop Basin – Key Features

• Premium 304 stainless steel — rust-resistant and hard-wearing
• Striking rectangular vessel design with a slimline, minimalist profile
• Colour-matched waste included (unslotted / universal)
• Zero tap holes — pair with a wall-mounted or tall basin mixer
• Sits on any worktop or vanity unit for a contemporary statement
• No overflow required; lifetime manufacturer's guarantee

What water pressure does it need?

The DUSC Core Rectangular Countertop Basin operates from a minimum of just 0.5 bar, so it suits the majority of UK homes — including combi-boiler and mains-pressure systems, plus most gravity-fed setups. Maximum operating pressure is 5 bar. If your gravity system runs below 0.5 bar, a shower/whole-house pump will give the best performance.

Does it need an overflow, and is a waste included?

No overflow is required — this is a countertop vessel basin. A colour-matched waste (unslotted / universal) is included to match the finish. You'll need a bottle trap and, for a wall-mounted tap, the relevant fixings, which are available separately.

Styling with Gunmetal

Gunmetal grey is dramatic and moody — a designer favourite. It contrasts superbly with pale stone, white sanitaryware and bold feature tiles, lending a high-end, masculine edge to contemporary and industrial bathrooms.

Installation

This countertop basin sits on top of any worktop or vanity unit – simply position, connect the included colour-matched waste to a bottle trap, and seal. No overflow connection is needed. We recommend installation by a competent plumber for a watertight, lasting finish.

What tap should I pair it with?

Because the basin has zero tap holes, pair it with a wall-mounted DUSC Core basin mixer or a tall DUSC Core mono basin mixer so the spout clears the raised bowl. Choose a matching finish for a co-ordinated look.

Does it come with a guarantee?

Yes — every DUSC Core product is covered by a lifetime manufacturer's guarantee (registration may be required with DUSC), giving you long-term reassurance on quality and durability.

How do I care for the Gunmetal finish?

The PVD gunmetal coating is durable and tarnish-resistant; clean with a soft damp cloth only.
