Accessories
INFO!
The accessories shown here are not included in the scope of delivery. If required, it must be purchased separately.
Required accessories
Pipe interrupter
To ensure that no bath water flows back into the drinking water system, a pipe interrupter must be installed, e. g. the connection set with concealed pipe interrupter DN 20 in acc. DIN EN 1717, model 6161.86. A suitable cover rosette for the pipe interrupter must be purchased separately.
Handling
Assembly information
Mounting conditions
The following requirements exist for the mounting of the drain / overflow:
The bathtub is installed.
The drainage line is installed all the way to the bathtub.
The underside of the bathtub is accessible.
Pipe interrupter
Backflow situation: If a negative pressure situation should occur when the bathtub is filled, there is a possibility that bath water may flow back into the drinking water system.
To ensure that no bath water flows back into the drinking water system, a pipe interrupter must be installed in the pipeline between the shut-off fitting and the bathtub inlet.
The following schematic diagram shows what this should look like:
It is important that the pipe interrupter is mounted vertically, in the direction of flow and at least 150 mm above the top edge of the bathtub.
Observe the local standards and regulations.
The pipe interrupter is not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately. Observe the instructions for use of the pipe interrupter.

-
Fit the fixing flange in the double seal.
-
Place the fixing screws in the drain unit and pull hand tight.
The screw with the internal thread must go into the hole left of the inlet opening in the drain unit (see detailed illustration).
INFO!Cordless screwdrivers or similar tools can damage the product. Only tighten the screws by hand.
Connecting overflow and drain
After the overflow and the drain have been mounted, you must connect them both using the overflow pipe. Proceed as follows:
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 pipe of the overflow unit parallel to the overflow pipe and mark the positions where the drain and the overflow should be connected.
Maintain an insertion depth of at least 15 mm!
-
Cut the overflow pipe to the marked length and, if necessary, deburr.
-
Push the top end of the overflow pipe into the rubber sleeve.
Maintain an insertion depth of at least 15 mm!
-
Push the union nut, sliding ring and seal onto the bottom end of the drain elbow.
