Typical domestic wastewater | DIN 1986‑3 |
The stacking element is intended for height increase and bonded 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 4 but lower than 10.
It is not permitted to introduce wastewater which would damage the product material.
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: Regulations from section: Sealing .
Careful planning is required for professional sealing. In addition, depending on the individual dampness wear class and the type of foundation, a suitable thin bed sealing 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 thin bed sealing 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.
In connection with suitable drains, only approved bonded sealings with proof of practicability in keeping with building law may be used. See Regulations from section: Sealing .
Information regarding the procedure can be found in the instructions for use of the corresponding product.
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).
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.
After assembly:
The flange must be fully lined with mortar.
Top with grate
Requirements
The drain has been mounted and lined in accordance with 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, transfer the measured height onto the stacking element.
Cut the stacking element to the marked height.
Install backflow seal.
Insert stacking element in drain.
Work the stacking element into the screed or floor covering.
Product damage due to improper installation
If hollow spaces occur during the lining of the stacking element, leaks may occur when pressure is applied.
Inform the subsequent workers that the flange of the stacking element must be fully lined and that there must be no hollow spaces.
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 proper completion of the subsequent work.
Screed and floor tiles must be laid at an incline of 1–2 % in the direction of the drain.
Requirements:
The flange is free of heavy soil.
The complete surface of the flange is lined with material and undamaged.
Remove protective foil.
Apply the bonded sealing on the dry screed and spread to the inner edge of the flange fleece.
Observe the bonded sealing manufacturer's instructions for use.
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.
If necessary, the top with the grate must still be mounted to finish off the mounting of the drain. Proceed as follows:
Remove yellow protective plug.
Cut the top flush to length with the upper edge of the tiles.
Insert top without backflow seal.
Lay tiles. Keep gap between top and flange free from surface seal and tile adhesive.
Close the gap between grate and tiles with silicone.
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.
