Accessories
INFO!
The accessories shown here are not included in the scope of delivery. If required, it must be purchased separately.
Required accessories
Pipe interrupter
To ensure that no bath water can flow back into the potable water installation, a pipe interrupter must be installed, e.g., the connection set with concealed pipe interrupter DN15, model 6161.86. A suitable cover rosette for the pipe interrupter must be purchased separately.
Optional accessories
Rotaplex extension set
It is possible to extend the odour trap below the bathtub in the case of bathtubs with a very thick floor. The extension set, model 6141.7, is available for such cases.
Handling
Assembly information
Mounting conditions
The following requirements exist for the mounting of the drain / overflow:
The bathtub is installed.
The drain pipeline is installed all the way to the bathtub.
The underside of the bathtub is accessible.
Pipe interrupter
Backflow situation: If a negative pressure situation should occur while the bathtub is full, bath water may flow back into the potable-water installation.
To prevent bath water from flowing back into the potable-water installation, a pipe interrupter must be installed in the pipeline between the shut-off valve and the tub inlet.
The following schematic diagram shows what this should look like:
It is important that the pipe interrupter is mounted vertically, in the direction of flow and at least 150 mm above the upper edge of the bathtub.
Observe the local standards and regulations.
The pipe interrupter is not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately. Observe the instructions for use of the pipe interrupter.
Installation dimensions
The following values are valid for L (length) and H (height):
L = 150–400
H = 180–430
Required tools and materials
Tool
fine-toothed saw
flat-blade screwdriver
mounting aid (included in the scope of delivery)
Open-end spanner (size 26)
Material
The following material must be purchased separately and must be available during mounting:
Pipe interrupter (e.g. the pipe interrupter set incl. material for the inlet connection)
Connection set for the inlet connection (e.g. the pipe interrupter set)
Assembly
Mounting overflow
Proceed as follows to the mounting of the overflow:
-
Push the rubber sleeve onto the pipe of the overflow unit.
The bottom edge must be flush with the edge of the overflow pipe.
-
Fit the profile seal in the overflow unit.
-
If the wall thickness a is less than 3 mm (for steel bathtubs), fit the additional seal between the profile seal and the bathtub.
-
Fit the inlet flange into the overflow unit.
-
Screw in the fixing screw and tighten hand tight with the mounting aid.
There is a groove on the hexagon of the mounting aid, which is placed on the bar of the fixing screw.
Mounting the drain
Proceed as follows to mount the drain:
-
Place the double seal into the drain hole of the bathtub.
-
Position the drain unit on the double seal from below in such a position that the upstand of the drain unit is placed in the recess of the double seal.
-
Fit the fixing flange in the double seal.
-
Place the fixing screws in the drain unit and tighten them by hand.
The screw with the internal thread must go into the hole left of the inlet opening in the drain unit (see detailed illustration).
INFO!Cordless screwdrivers or similar tools can damage the product. Only tighten the screws by hand.
Connecting overflow and drain
Once the overflow and drain have been installed, connect both to the overflow pipe.
Requirements:
The overflow is mounted in the overflow opening.
The drain is securely mounted on the base of the bathtub.
-
NOTICE!
Connections where the pipes are not inserted far enough into each other become leaky.
For this reason, maintain a minimum insertion depth of 15 mm for every connection.
-
Hold the overflow pipe parallel to the pipe of the overflow unit and mark the points where the drain and overflow are connected.
Minimum insertion depth: 15 mm
-
Cut the overflow pipe to the marked length and deburr it.
The overflow extension (1) is only supplied with drain sets for extra-long bathtubs.
-
Push the top end of the overflow pipe into the rubber sleeve.
Minimum insertion depth: 15 mm
-
Push the union nut, sliding ring and seal onto the bottom end of the drain elbow.
-
Screw the union nut on the drain unit.
Connecting the wastewater system
Proceed as follows to connect the drain/overflow to the wastewater system:
Requirements:
The overflow and drain units are installed on the bathtub.
The connection between overflow and drain has been made.
-
If the wastewater pipe only has a diameter of 40 mm, cut off drain elbow.
-
Push the union nut, sliding ring and seal onto the waste elbow.
-
Screw the union nut on the drain unit.
Minimum insertion depth: 15 mm
-
Align the odour trap in such a way that the drain elbow can be connected to the wastewater pipe. To do this, turn the drain.
-
Push the wastewater pipe in the drain elbow.
Connecting the inlet
Proceed as follows to connect the water supply to the overflow unit:
Requirements:
A connection set (e. g. the pipe interrupter set) is available.
A pipe interrupter is installed in the supply pipeline.
The overflow and the drain are mounted.
The overflow and the drain are connected.
The connection to the wastewater system has been made.
Mounting with the Viega plug connection is described in the following.
Mounting can also be carried out with other connecting materials. If necessary, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
-
Push the union nut and the clamping ring (parts of the connection set) onto the water-carrying pipe.
-
Push the narrow end of the screw fitting (part of the connection set) into the pipe as far as it will go.
-
Push the free end of the screw fitting into the connecting piece.
-
Use the union nut to screw the pipe tight at the connecting piece.
-
Insert the connecting piece into the overflow unit.
The connecting piece must click into place in the overflow unit with a noticeable clicking sound.
Mounting equipment set
To avoid damage to the rosette and drain plug, mount the equipment set only after finishing all other work on the building site. Proceed as follows:
-
Align the rotatable rosette and install it into the overflow unit.
-
Turn the rotatable rosette to the right (open position) and hold.
-
Fit the drain plug.
The pin on the underside of the drain plug must be guided through the middle hole of the fixing flange into the recess in the drain unit until it engages noticeably (see detailed illustration).
-
Place the flange cover onto the supply flange with the straight side facing downwards and affix.
-
Align and fit the rotatable rosette.
-
Place the cover plate onto the fixing flange and affix.
Place the holes on the underside of the cover plate onto the heads of the screws.
Leakage test
The leakage test is only carried out as a visual inspection.
Check the points marked in the following drawing.
-
Check for visible leaks.
Demounting rotatable rosette
If the rotatable rosette on the overflow is to be removed, observe the following sequence to avoid damaging the rosette and the flange cover:
-
Pull off the rotatable rosette in the axial direction.
-
Lever out the flange cover at the marked attachment points.
-
Remove the flange cover.
Use
The drain / overflow are controlled via the rotatable rosette on the overflow. To close or open the drain, proceed as follows:
-
Turn the rotatable rosette to the left.
-
The drain closes itself.
INFO!The drain plug sinks and prevents the water from draining away. The cover plate does not alter its position.
-
Turn the rotatable rosette to the right.
-
The drain opens itself.
INFO!The drain plug lifts and the water can flow away. The cover plate does not alter its position.
Setting the direction of the water supply
There is a regulator for the water jet on the underside of the rotatable rosette. To adjust the water jet, proceed as follows:
-
Push the flow control backwards or forwards with your finger. The water flows closer or further away from the side of the bathtub depending on the direction set.
Care
NOTICE!
Risk of damage due to unsuitable cleaning agent.
The following cleaning agents can damage chrome-plated surfaces and therefore may not be used:
scouring agent
abrasive sponges
lime, plaster or cement dissolver
solvents or other acidic cleaning agents
Use normal soap or a mild cleaning agent for regular care and prevention of lime scale on the rotatable rosette and valve cone. Do not use scouring agent or abrasive objects!
Use household cleaner to remove coarse soiling, also around the drain unit and the odour trap. Rinse the detergent thoroughly with clear water after the prescribed exposure time. There should be no residue on the components.
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.
