Liquids with a pH-value higher than 4
typical household wastewater with temperatures up to 95 °C
The Citaplex drain/overflow is a combined drain and overflow for bathtubs with a 52 mm drain hole.
Please note, this model has no odour trap. A separate odour trap must be installed to complete the mounting.
The drain/overflow is suitable for standard bathtubs with the drain on the head end.
Detailed information regarding all bathtub models and the corresponding Viega drains / overflows can be found in the catalogue or on the Internet.

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.
The following tools are required for mounting:
fine-toothed saw
flat-blade screwdriver
The following material must be purchased separately and must be available during mounting:
odour trap
Proceed as follows to the mounting of the overflow:
Push the rubber sleeve onto the pipe of the overflow unit.
The lower edge must be flush with the edge of the overflow pipe.
Fit profile seal in the overflow unit.
Hold the overflow unit on the overflow opening of the bathtub from the outside.
Screw the fixing flange into the overflow unit by hand.
Pliers or other tools may damage the fixing flange. Only turn the fixing flange by hand.
Proceed as follows to mount the drain:
Place the profile seal in the recess of the drain unit.
Mount the drain unit with profile seal on the drain opening of the bathtub from below.
Fit the valve top in the drain opening.
Place the fixing screw in the drain unit and tighten using a flat-blade screwdriver.
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.
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.
Screw the union nut on the drain unit.
The drain unit must be connected to an external odour trap as there is no odour trap integrated into the drain fitting. The drain unit is equipped with a vertical 1½ inch threaded connection for the connection.
Proceed as follows to connect the drain fitting to the wastewater system:
Requirements:
The overflow and drain units are installed on the bathtub.
The connection between overflow and drain has been made.
Screw the drain unit together with the on-site odour trap at the threaded connection.
Proceed as follows to mount the equipment set:
Gently bend open the bow of the valve plug.
Thread the eyelet of the chain onto the bow.
Bend the bow of the valve plug back together.
Hang the free eyelet of the chain onto the bottom hook of the fixing flange.
Place the valve plug into the drain valve.
The chain should hang loosely between fixing flange and drain.
Place the rosette onto the fixing flange of the overflow and tighten hand-tight with the screw supplied.
The valve plug can be inserted into the rosette for safe-keeping.
The leakage test is only carried out as a visual inspection.
Check drain/overflow fitting for visible leaks.
Risk of damage due to unsuitable cleaning agent.
The following cleaning agents can damage chrome-plated surfaces and therefore may not be used:
scouring agent
abrasive sponges
lime, plaster or cement dissolver
solvents or other acidic cleaning agents
Normal soap or a mild cleaning agent can be used for regular care and prevention of lime scale on the rotatable rosette and valve cone. Under no circumstances should scouring agent or scratching objects be used.
Strong stains, even around the drain unit and the siphon, can be removed using typical household cleaner. It should be noted that the cleaning agent should be rinsed off after the prescribed soaking time. There should be no residue on the components.
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.
