Technical data
Information for use
Installation variations
Installing in a bare concrete floor
The mounting of the drain in a bare concrete floor is as follows:
The drain is placed in a floor recess and then cast-in.
Mounting on a floor
During the mounting on the floor, the drain is integrated into the floor construction. At the same time, he drain can e.g. be integrated into the levelling screed or heat insulation. If necessary, a vertical drainpipe can be led through a drill hole in the floor at the same time.
NOTICE!
The creation of a floor recess must be agreed with the following people:
a structural engineer
the on-site fire protection inspector or the specialist engineer for fire protection
If necessary, proof of compliance with building code or an expert's report must exist.
Sealing
Bonded sealing
To protect against moisture penetration, apply sealing foils, which are to be processed in liquid state, directly below the tiles on screed and walls. The determination of the stress class and the underground as well as the selection of the suitable bonded sealing must be carried out in compliance with the valid standards and regulations, see: Standards and regulations .
The bonded seal can be applied directly onto the drain flange.
Important note
Careful planning is required for sealing. In addition, depending on the individual dampness wear class and the type of foundation, a suitable thin bed bonded sealing with a building regulations certificate of suitability must be chosen.
Furthermore, the following factors should be taken into account:
The drain or shower channel must be equipped with a special flange, which has an adhesive surface and a width of at least 50 mm.
For bridging the material change from drain to screed, either a suitable sealing collar or sealing tape designed for overlapping with the thin bed bonded sealing over a width of at least 50 mm must be used.
The screed must be laid at a minimum incline of 1–2%.
The installation must be carried out in acc. with the mounting instructions and the manufacturer's information.
- 1 Grate
- 2 Top piece with adhesive flange
- 3 Tile
- 4 Tile cement
- 5 Bonded sealing
- 6 Screed
- 7 Sealing collar
- 8 Adhesive
Permitted bonded seals
In connection with suitable drains, only approved bonded sealings with proof of practicability in keeping with building law may be used. See Standards and regulations .
Information regarding the procedure can be found in the instructions for use of the corresponding product.
Fire protection
Advantix shower channels and drains can both be fitted to be fire proof. The R120 pipe lead-in can be used for this purpose in the floor construction. In this way, a fire resistance time of up to 120 minutes can be achieved.
For mounting instructions for the R120 pipe lead-in see model 4923.5, art. no. 491 673.
Required accessories
Top
A top must be purchased separately to complete the mounting of the drain.
Advantix tops are available in a number of sizes and variations. You can also only buy an Advantix top frame and then purchase a suitable designer grate separately (see catalogue).
Sieve insert
The drain can be fitted with a sieve insert (model 4958) to collect dirt.
Odour barrier
Advantix drains can be equipped with an additional odour barrier, which also closes the drain odour-tight, if the water seal in the odour trap has evaporated. In this way, odour nuisance is avoided even with drains that are only seldom used. Odour barriers can be found in the catalogue.

Connecting the drain
Connecting to the wastewater system
The connection to the wastewater system must be completed before the drain can be installed in the floor construction. Proceed as follows:
Requirements:
A pipe to the planned drainage position is already in place for the connection to the wastewater system.
The drainpipe has an internal sealing lip.
-
If the wastewater pipe only has a diameter of 40 mm, cut off the drain elbow.
-
Insert the drain socket into the drainpipe as far as it will go.
Preparing the drain
-
Cut the stacking element to size.
INFO!For the minimum installation height, cut to a maximum length of 78 mm.
-
Fit the stacking element into the drain unit.
NOTICE!Ensure that the sealing element is correctly in place.
-
Fully line the stacking element with screed. The upper edge of the screed corresponds to the upper edge of the stacking element.
Preparing for subsequent work
Requirements:
The drain is connected.
The protective cover and the yellow protective plugs are to be found, undamaged, on the drain.
-
Position the drain at the desired height at the place of use. The upper edge of the drain flange must be flush with the upper edge of the sealing layer. If necessary, raise or lower the drain in the existing floor using suitable material.
-
Align the drain horizontally using a spirit level.
-
Secure the drain in such a way that it cannot shift when the subsequent works are applied.
Most importantly, it must be ensured that the drain does not float when the concrete or screed is poured in.
