The stacking element is intended for height increase and conventional sealing of an Advantix drain above cement layers.
The drain and stacking element are intended for draining of household-type wastewater 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.
The flange of the stacking element is intended for conventional sealing. To be able to seal conventionally, you require a suitable sealing collar and a clamping ring with which the cuff is secured Required accessories .
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.
Use bonded sealing for 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:
The following components are required for the installation of a stacking element 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 stacking element 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.
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).
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).
Before assembly:
Check if the installation height of the drain and stacking element corresponds with the planned floor construction.
Ensure that the drain has been fully lined with mortar.
If necessary, supply the required accessories Required accessories .
During assembly:
Observe installation dimensions.
Decide whether or not a backflow seal is required in the insertion part of the top.
After assembly:
The flange must be fully lined with mortar.
if necessary, sealing collar, clamping ring, fitting screws
Top with grate
Requirements
The drain has been mounted and lined according to the instructions for use.
Remove yellow protective plug from the drain.
Calculate the height of the floor construction from the edge in the inside of the drain up to the upper edge of the floor.
Starting with the upper edge of the flange, transfer the measured height onto the stacking element.
Cut the stacking element to the marked height.
Install backflow seal.
Use a spirit level to horizontally align the stacking element and work the stacking element into the screed or floor covering.
Product damage due to improper installation
If cavities occur when the stacking element is being lined, leaks may occur when pressure is applied.
Inform the subsequent workers that the flange of the stacking element must be lined all over and that there must be no cavities.
Product damage due to improper installation
If hollow spaces occur during the lining of the flange, leaks may occur when pressure is applied.
Check the completion of the subsequent work.
The screed and floor tiles must be laid at an incline of 1–2 % in the direction of the drain.
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 coarse 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 stacking element.
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 stacking element.
The fixing screws of the clamping ring may only be screwed into the screw holes of the stacking element.
The drain is sealed and the remaining sealing can be laid.
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 stacking element 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 the backflow seal in the lowest notch of the top.
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.
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.
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.
