The shower channel is used in the bathroom as a drain for a floor-level shower. The shower channel is designed for small to medium volumes of water, such as those occurring in the residential building sector, for example.
Technical information, see Technical data .
The short-term temperature of the wastewater may reach up to 95° C. The temperature must be considerably lower in constant operation.
The pH value must be higher than four but lower than ten.
It is not permitted to introduce wastewater, which could damage the product material.
The drainage capacity is dependent on the odour trap used and on the chosen installation height. The installation height is the distance from the drain to the flange.

The measured sound level during water drainage is 19 dB(A). For information on sound protection requirements met, see Regulations from section: Sound protection .
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: Regulations from section: Sealing .
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.
In connection with suitable drains, only approved bonded sealings with proof of practicability in keeping with building law may be used. See Regulations from section: Sealing .
Information regarding the procedure can be found in the instructions for use of the corresponding product.
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.

Before assembly:
Check if the drainage capacity of the model chosen is sufficient for the arising water volume Drainage capacity .
An adequate level of floor covering stability must be guaranteed Technical data . This can be achieved either through an adequate screed thickness or another alternative solution. Relevant measures must be considered before mounting.
The dimensions of slots and recesses must be in compliance with the regulations from section Regulations from section: Important notes .
During assembly:
Observe installation dimensions.
Do not use mounting adhesive older than 18 months.
Position the shower channel in such a way that the grate is removable.
After assembly:
The shower channel must be fully lined with mortar.
Coordinate all relevant installation details, especially regarding the bonded sealing, with those responsible for the subsequent work.

Depending on the selected odour trap, different installation heights can be implemented.
Determine installation height (H).
Check the connection element for soiling, clean if necessary.
Insert the greased sealing element into the casing.
Observe the sealing element is correctly in place (see arrow).
Press the drain straight into the connection element until it snaps home.
For installation heights of up to 70 mm:
Align the base unit in the mortar bed.
Select the adjusting feet set in accordance with the installation height:
A – Model 4982.90, installation height: 95–160 mm
B – Model 4982.91, installation height: 70–95 mm
Mount the adjusting feet.
Regarding mounting, refer to the instructions for use for the adjusting feet set.
Put in the odour trap insert.
Turn the odour trap insert clockwise through 90°.
Insert the immersion pipe of the odour trap.
Inserting the immersion pipe of the odour trap fastens the odour trap insert.
Adapt the base unit to screed height by adjusting the feet.
Align the base unit horizontally in all directions.
With an installation height above 95 mm, provide the odour trap with mortar bedding to prevent slippage.
Check whether grounding is required.
The connection to the wastewater system must be completed before the drain can be installed in the floor construction.
Requirements:
A pipe to the planned drainage position is already in place for the connection to the wastewater system.
The drainpipe has an internal profile seal.
Proceed as follows:
Insert the drain socket into the drainpipe as far as it will go.
Fill the shower channel with water.
Check the drain casing and pipeline for leak tightness.
Product damage due to improper installation
If cavities form during the lining of the shower channel, leaks may occur when pressure is applied.
Inform the subsequent workers that the shower channel must be fully lined and that there must be no cavities generated.
Remove the hard foam block from the packaging.
Insert the protective insert made of hard foam.
The protective insert acts as a mounting aid and protection against contamination.
Mount the site protection.
Stick on the adhesive points and remove the protective cover.
Shorten the second part of the site protection if applicable, and mount it.
Screed and floor tiles must be laid at an incline of 1–2 % in the direction of the shower channel.
Line the shower channel fully with screed up to the upper edge of the flange.
Requirements
The flange must be clean and free from material residue. If necessary, clean the flange.
The sealing tape is not included with delivery. Viega recommends model 4964.95, art. no. 619 121.
Sealing can take place with or without the use of mounting adhesive. The mounting adhesive is not included in the scope of delivery. Viega recommends model 4938.33, art. no. 571 788.
Remove the site protection.

on mounting profiles
Polish the tile edge.
Finally, a grate must be mounted. See catalogue for suitable grates.
Regarding mounting, refer to the instructions for use of the grate.
Normal soap or a mild cleaning agent can be used for regular maintenance and prevention of lime scale on the grate and frame. Use no scouring agent or abrasive objects.
Strong stains, even around the drain unit and the odour trap, can be removed using typical household cleaner. Rinse the detergent very thoroughly with clear water after the prescribed dwell time. There should be no residue on the components.
Viega recommends using a mild cleaning agent, a cloth and a washing-up brush for cleaning.
