Information for use
Installation variations
Mounting in bare concrete
The mounting of the drain in bare concrete is as follows:
The drain is placed in a floor recess and then cast-in.
The drain is placed over a floor lead-in (e.g. of a drill hole), through which the drainpipe is led.
Mounting with a second sealing level
The drain is given a stacking element and sealed via a sealing flange made of polymer concrete.
Sealing
The drain can be sealed both conventionally as well as with bonded sealing.
Depending on the type of sealing, you will require the relevant equipment set Required accessories .
Conventional sealing
The flange of the drain is intended for conventional sealing. To be able to seal the drain conventionally, you require a suitable sealing collar and a clamping ring with which the cuff is secured Required accessories .
Principle
Traditionally, sealing is made using bitumen or EPDM sealing collars. The sealing collars are laid directly onto the raw concrete or heat insulation. This process has proved itself to be particularly effective for sealing balconies, patios, floor installation panels and cellar floors. In addition, sealing collars are often used as an additional second sealing layer below the bonded seal.
The following components are required for the installation of a drain with conventional sealing:
Drain
Clamping ring with sealing collar for EPDM and bitumen sealing lanes
Information for processing
The sealing collar is coated with EPDM on the one side and with bitumen on the other side
Place the sealing collar on the drain and fasten it with the flange. It depends on the sealing collar used which material layer of the sealing collar is placed facing up. You can find more information in the mounting instructions of the sealing flange.
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 .
Bonded sealing can be carried out with the help of a suitable stacking element. You have the possibility to double seal, using conventional and bonded sealing or only using bonded sealing.
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.
Required accessories
Top
A top or a pebble trap must be purchased separately to complete the mounting of the drain.
A top or a pebble trap 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).
Accessories for conventional sealing
If a conventional sealing is to be made, a suitable sealing collar and a clamping ring will be required.
You will find a corresponding set in the catalogue (model 4948.31).
Accessories for bonded sealing
If a bonded sealing is to be applied, a suitable stacking element with sealing collar is required.
The Advantix sealing flange (model 4924) made of polymer concrete can be integrated into the floor construction to increase stability.
Odour barrier
Advantix balcony and terrace drains can be equipped with the frost-proof odour barrier (model 4944.8), which closes the drain in an odour proof manner.
Pebble trap inlet element
The drain can be equipped with the pebble trap inlet element (model 4946.3), to divert water next to the grate through the layer of pebbles.
Handling
Assembly information
Important note
Before assembly:
Check if the drainage capacity of the drain is sufficient for the arising water volume Drainage capacity .
Check if the installation height of the drain corresponds with the planned floor construction.
Ensure that the required connection line is installed with the necessary incline to the planned installation location.
If necessary, supply the required accessories Required accessories .
During assembly:
Observe installation dimensions.
After assembly:
The drain flange must be fully lined with mortar.

Assembly
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 drain pipe has an internal sealing lip.
-
Insert the drain socket into the drainpipe as far as it will go.
Preparing for subsequent work
Requirements:
The drain is connected.
-
Position the drain at the desired height at the place of use. Depending on the planning, the drain can be integrated into concrete or into a heat insulation layer, for example. 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.
-
Insert the yellow protective plug.
NOTICE!
Product damage due to improper installation
If hollow spaces occur during the lining of the drain, leaks may occur when pressure is applied.
Inform the subsequent workers that the drain must be fully lined and that there must be no hollow spaces.
Sealing the drain
NOTICE!
Product damage due to improper installation
If hollow spaces occur during the lining of the drain, leaks may occur when pressure is applied.
Check the completion of the subsequent work.
Conventional sealing
Requirements:
A suitable sealing collar and a clamping ring are available.
The flange is free of heavy soil.
The complete surface of the flange is lined with material and undamaged.
-
If required, clean the flange of heavy soil (e.g. from screed).
-
Insert the seal ring.
The seal ring must lie in the groove between the flange and the screw holes.
The Viega sealing collar has two differently coated sides. One side is coated with bitumen and the other side with EPDM. If the additional sealing takes place with bitumen sealing lanes, the sealing collar must be used with the bitumen side facing upwards. If EPDM sealing lanes are used, the EPDM side must face upwards.
-
Position the sealing collar on the drain.
The screw holes must be visible through the recesses.
-
Position the sealing flange on the sealing collar in such a way that the screw holes are visible.
-
Screw the sealing flange tightly to the drain.
The fixing screws of the clamping ring may only be screwed into the screw holes of the drain.
-
The drain is sealed and the remaining sealing can be laid.
Installing the top in the tile surface
The top with the grate may also have to be mounted to finish off the mounting of the drain. Proceed as follows:
-
Calculate the height of the floor construction from the edge in the inside of the drain up to the upper edge of the floor.
INFO!If you use a pebble trap inlet element, position it on the drain and calculate the height from the edge in the inside of the pebble trap inlet element.
-
Starting with the upper edge, transfer the measured height onto the top.
-
Cut the top to the marked height.
-
Remove the yellow protective plug.
-
Place the top into the drain and align according to the tiles.
-
Work the top into the floor covering.
Care
Care tips
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.
Cleaning the drain
Use a mild cleaning agent and a washing-up brush for cleaning.
-
Remove and clean the grate or pebble trap.
-
Clean the drain.
-
Re-insert the grate or pebble trap.
Disposal
Separate the product and packaging materials (e. g. paper, metal, plastic or non-ferrous metals) and dispose of in accordance with valid national legal requirements.
