Information for use
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: Regulations from section: Sealing .
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.

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 Regulations from section: Sealing .
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.

Assembly information
Important note
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.

Assembly
Determine height
Depending on the selected odour trap, different installation heights can be implemented.
- A - Model 4982.92
- B - Model 4982.93
- C - Model 4982.94
- D - Model 4982.83
-
Determine installation height (H).
-
Check the connection element for soiling, clean if necessary.
Mounting base unit
Mounting the drain
-
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.
Mounting the adjusting feet and drain sockets
-
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.
