Intended use
Areas of application
The drain is intended for use in floor constructions without sealing – e.g. cellars where wastewater occurs in small quantities at irregular intervals.
Technical information, see Technical data .
Media
The drain is intended for draining wastewater commonly encountered in households in constant operation, see Regulations from section: Media .
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.
Drainage capacity
Drainage capacity at an accumulation height of 10 mm above the grate: 0.55 l/s
Drainage capacity at an accumulation height of 20 mm above the grate: 0.9 l/s
Drainage capacity through the lateral inlet: 1.2 l/s
The values are dependent on the total height of the drain unit.

Required accessories
Top
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).
Sieve insert
The drain can be fitted with a sieve insert (model 4958) to collect dirt.
Odour barrier
Advantix drains can be equipped with an additional odour barrier, which also closes the drain odour-tight, if the water seal in the odour trap has evaporated. In this way, odour nuisance is avoided even with drains that are only seldom used. Odour barriers can be found in the catalogue.
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.

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.
-
Align the drain socket on the ball joint.
-
Insert the drain socket into the drainpipe as far as it will go.
Connecting the inlet
Make the connection to the inlet to mount the drain. Proceed as follows:
Requirements:
The inlet pipe has been mounted.
-
Unscrew the union nut from the drain inlet.
-
Remove the protective plug.
-
Remove the sliding ring and the sealing element from the protective plug.
-
Push the union nut, sliding ring and sealing element onto the inlet pipe.
-
Push the inlet pipe at least 1.5 cm deep into the drain inlet.
-
Screw the inlet pipe with the coupling onto the drain inlet.
Mounting the drain
-
Position the drain at the desired height at the place of use. If necessary, raise or lower 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.
-
Work the drain into the screed or floor covering.
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.
Mounting the top
-
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 screed or 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.
