About this translated version
This instruction for use contains important information about the choice of product or system, assembly and commissioning as well as intended use and, if required, maintenance measures. The information about the products, their properties and application technology are based on the current standards in Europe (e.g. EN) and/or in Germany (e.g. DIN/DVGW).
Some passages in the text may refer to technical codes in Europe/Germany. These should serve as recommendations in the absence of corresponding national regulations. The relevant national laws, standards, regulations, directives and other technical provisions take priority over the German/European directives specified in this manual: The information herein is not binding for other countries and regions; as said above, they should be understood as a recommendation.
Standards and regulations
The following standards and regulations apply to Germany / Europe and are provided as a support feature.
Regulations from section: Sealing
Regulations from section: Media
Regulations from section: Sound protection
Certification
Data acc. to DIN EN 1253, Table 7
Intended use
Areas of application
The drain is used in the bathroom for a floor-level shower. The drain is dimensioned for small to medium volumes of water, which occur in e.g. residential buildings.
Technical information, see Technical data .
Media
The drain is intended for draining wastewater commonly encountered in households 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.
Drainage capacity
The drainage capacity is dependent on the chosen installation height. The installation height is the distance from the drain to the flange.
Drainage capacity at an accumulation height of 10 mm above the grate: 0.75
Drainage capacity at an accumulation height of 20 mm above the grate: 0.8

Information for use
Sealing
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: Regulations from section: Sealing .
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.
For mounting instructions for the R120 pipe lead-in see model 4923.5, art. no. 491 673.
Required accessories
The grate is not included in the scope of delivery and can be ordered separately (see catalogue).
Handling
Assembly information
Important note
Before assembly:
Check if the drainage capacity of the model chosen is sufficient for the arising water volume Drainage capacity .
An adequate level of floor covering stability must be guaranteed Technical data . This can be achieved either through an adequate screed thickness or another alternative solution. Relevant measures must be considered before mounting.
During assembly:
Observe installation dimensions.
Do not use mounting adhesive older than 18 months.
Position the drain in such a way that the grate is removable.
After assembly:
The drain must be fully lined with mortar.
The sealing accessories should be given to the person responsible for the bonded sealing (e.g. tiler).
Coordinate all relevant installation details, especially regarding the bonded sealing, with those responsible for the subsequent work.
