Information for use
Installation variations
Installing in a bare concrete floor
The mounting of the drain in a bare concrete floor is as follows:
The drain is placed in a floor recess and then cast-in.
Mounting on a floor
During the mounting on the floor, the drain is integrated into the floor construction. At the same time, it can e. g. be integrated into the levelling screed or heat insulation. If necessary, a vertical drainpipe can be led through a drill hole in the floor at the same time.
NOTICE!
The creation of a floor recess must be agreed with the following people:
a structural engineer
the on-site fire protection inspector or the specialist engineer for fire protection
If necessary, proof of compliance with building code or an expert's report must exist.
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 .
NOTICE!
Not suitable for floor-level showers
Conventional sealing is not recommended with floor-level showers, because dampness can enter the screed and damp proof layer.
The bonded sealing should be used in the case of floor-level showers.
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: .
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.
Important note
Careful planning is required for professional sealing. In addition, depending on the individual dampness wear class and the type of foundation, a suitable BS system with a building regulations certificate of suitability must be chosen.
Furthermore, the following factors should be taken into account:
Drain or shower channel must be equipped with a special flange, which has an adhesive surface and a width of at least 30 mm.
For bridging the material change from drain to screed, either a suitable sealing collar or sealing tape designed for overlapping with the BS 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 properly 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 .
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.
Mounting instruction of the R120 pipe lead-in see model 4923.5, Art.-No. 491 673.
Required accessories
Top
A top 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).
Sieve insert
The drain can be fitted with a sieve insert (model 4958) to collect dirt.
Accessories for the 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 the bonded sealing
If a bonded sealing is to be applied, a suitable stacking element with sealing collar is required.
You will find a corresponding set in the catalogue (model 4925).
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. Odour nuisance is even avoided with drains that are only seldom used. Odour barriers can be found in the catalogue.

-
Lay the sealing collar into the bonded sealing.
-
Apply a second layer of bonded sealing onto the sealing collar and, if necessary, onto the floor.
Mounting the top
The top with the grate must still 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 tiles.
-
Starting with the upper edge, transfer the measured height onto the top.
-
Cut the top to the marked height.
-
If necessary, insert backflow seal in the lowest notch of the top.
INFO!The backflow seal be must employed when no dampness is supposed to flow into the drain from outside of the top but water may seep in from below.
Normally, no backflow seal is mounted so that water that occurs around the frame (e. g. due to a leaky silicone joint) can flow away.
A backflow seal is mounted in the following cases:
In the case of the risk of a build-up of water that can soak through the screed.
During the mounting of a stacking element for the bonded sealing (see instructions for use of the stacking element).
-
Remove yellow protective plug.
