Material
The following material must be purchased separately and must be available during mounting:
Odour trap
Assembly
Mounting 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.
-
Insert the sealing element into the circular slot of the fixing flange.
-
Hold the overflow unit on the overflow opening of the bathtub from the outside.
-
Screw the fixing flange into the overflow unit by hand.
NOTICE!Pliers or other tools may damage the fixing flange. Only turn the fixing flange by hand.
Mounting the drain
-
Place the double seal onto the drain unit in such a way that the recess is positioned above the connecting pipe.
-
Pull the edge of the double seal over the edge of the drain.
-
Hold the drain with the double seal onto the drain hole of the bathtub from below.
-
Pull the upper part of the double seal through the drain hole.
-
Fit the valve top in the double seal.
INFO!The cross-shaped structures of the drain unit and the valve top must be positioned parallel on top of each other to ensure the full drainage capacity.
-
Place the fixing screw in the drain unit and tighten using a socket spanner (size 14).
-
Insert the site protection.
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.
-
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
The drain unit must be connected to an external odour trap as there is no odour trap integrated into the drain fitting. The drain unit is equipped with a vertical 1½ inch threaded connection for the connection.
Requirements:
The overflow and drain units are installed on the bathtub.
The connection between overflow and drain has been made.
-
Screw the drain unit together with the on-site odour trap at the threaded connection.
Mounting equipment set
To avoid damaging the rosette and the drain plug, do not install the equipment set until all other work has been completed:
-
Align and fit the rotatable rosette.
-
Remove the site protection.
-
Fit the drain plug.
-
To check function and alignment, turn the rotatable rosette.
The opening of the drain plug should be 2–3 cm wide when opened. If necessary, regulate the width of the opening of the drain plug using the adjusting screw (see next step).
-
Set the drain plug with the help of the adjusting screw and counter with the nut.
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.
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.
-
Turn the rotatable rosette to the right.
-
The drain opens itself.
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.
