Technical data
Information for use
Installation variations
Installing in a bare concrete floor
The mounting of the drain in a bare concrete floor is as follows:
The drain is placed in a floor recess and then cast-in.
Mounting on a floor
During the mounting on the floor, the drain is integrated into the floor construction. At the same time, he drain can e.g. be integrated into the levelling screed or heat insulation. If necessary, a vertical drainpipe can be led through a drill hole in the floor at the same time.
NOTICE!
The creation of a floor recess must be agreed with the following people:
a structural engineer
the on-site fire protection inspector or the specialist engineer for fire protection
If necessary, proof of compliance with building code or an expert's report must exist.
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: Standards and regulations .
The bonded seal can be applied directly onto the drain flange.
Important note
Careful planning is required for sealing. In addition, depending on the individual dampness wear class and the type of foundation, a suitable thin bed bonded sealing with a building regulations certificate of suitability must be chosen.
Furthermore, the following factors should be taken into account:
The drain or shower channel must be equipped with a special flange, which has an adhesive surface and a width of at least 50 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 bonded 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 in acc. with the mounting instructions and the manufacturer's information.
- 1 Grate
- 2 Top piece with adhesive flange
- 3 Tile
- 4 Tile cement
- 5 Bonded sealing
- 6 Screed
- 7 Sealing collar
- 8 Adhesive
Permitted bonded seals
In connection with suitable drains, only approved bonded sealings with proof of practicability in keeping with building law may be used. See Standards and regulations .
Information regarding the procedure can be found in the instructions for use of the corresponding product.
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
Top
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).
Sieve insert
The drain can be fitted with a sieve insert (model 4958) to collect dirt.
Handling
Assembly information
Important note
Before assembly:
Check if the drainage capacity of the drain is sufficient for the arising water volume Drainage capacity .
Check if the installation height of the drain corresponds with the planned floor construction.
Ensure that the required connection line is installed with the necessary incline to the planned installation location.
If necessary, supply the required accessories Required accessories .
During assembly:
Observe installation dimensions.
After assembly:
The drain flange must be fully lined with mortar.

Construction and water seal level
-
Determine the installation height.
INFO!
At a desired installation height of ≥ 105 mm upper edge sealing flange the floor piece remains in the delivery condition.
The water seal level is 50 mm and the immersion pipe length 48 mm.
Installation height 96–105 mm
-
Loosen the clamping ring with a screwdriver.
-
Remove the clamping ring and push the floor piece in by one ring (1 x 10 mm) .
-
Align the floor piece in such a way that the arrows point towards the drainpipe.
-
Secure the floor piece with the clamping ring.
Tighten the screw of the clamping ring with max. 2.5 Nm ±0.2 Nm. Alternatively, tighten the end of the clamping ring up to or between the markings.
-
The water seal level is 40 mm and the immersion pipe length 38 mm.
Installation height 85–95 mm
-
Loosen the clamping ring with a screwdriver.
-
Remove the clamping ring and push the floor piece in by two rings (2 x 10 mm).
-
Align the floor piece in such a way that the arrows point towards the drainpipe.
-
Secure the floor piece with the clamping ring.
Tighten the screw of the clamping ring with max. 2.5 Nm ±0.2 Nm. Alternatively, tighten the end of the clamping ring up to or between the markings.
-
The water seal level is 35 mm and the immersion pipe length 33 mm.
Mounting base unit
A few points must be observed to integrate the drain into the floor construction properly. For this reason, proceed as follows to prepare the drain for subsequent work:
Requirements
A pipe to the planned drainage position is already in place for the connection to the wastewater system.
The drainpipe has an internal sealing lip.
-
Insert the drain socket into the drainpipe as far as it will go.
-
Position the bathroom drain with sound protection mat on the raw concrete floor.
-
If necessary, shorten the adjusting feet to the correct dimension at one of the two interfaces provided and mount them.
-
Place the adjusting feet into the retaining brackets.
-
Align the bath drain horizontally with the adjusting feet.
-
Secure the adjusting feet with the supplied dowels and screws.
-
The bathroom drain can be integrated into the floor construction.
NOTICE!
Product damage due to improper installation
If hollow spaces occur during the lining of the drain, leaks may occur when pressure is applied.
Inform the subsequent workers that the drain must be fully lined and that there must be no hollow spaces.
Sealing the drain
NOTICE!
Product damage due to improper installation
If hollow spaces occur during the lining of the drain, leaks may occur when pressure is applied.
Check the completion of the subsequent work.
INFO!
The screed and floor tiles must be laid at an incline of 1–2 % in the direction of the drain.
Bonded sealing
Requirements:
The flange is free of heavy soil.
The complete surface of the flange is lined with material and undamaged.
-
Remove the protective cover.
-
Apply the bonded sealing on the dry screed and spread to the inner edge of the flange fleece.
NOTICE!Observe the bonded sealing manufacturer's instructions for use.
-
Lay the sealing collar into the bonded sealing.
-
Apply the second layer of bonded sealing onto the sealing collar and, if necessary, onto the floor.
Mounting the top
The top with the grate must still be mounted to finish off the mounting of the drain. Proceed as follows:
-
Remove the yellow protective plug.
-
Insert the immersion pipe.
-
Install the insert ring.
-
Cut the top flush to length with the upper edge of the tiles.
-
Insert the top without the backflow seal.
-
Clean the insert ring for the top.
-
Lay the tiles (min. tile size 100 x 100 mm).
Do not allow surface seal and tile adhesive to get in between the top and the flange.
Viega recommends using epoxy resin adhesive for optimum adhesion.
-
Close the gap between grate and tiles with silicone.
Consider screed thickness
To ensure that the floor covering is sufficiently stable, an appropriate screed thickness or another suitable alternative solution should be considered.
The following illustrations show three installation options as examples. In all cases, the system must cover the connection pipe by 15 mm.
Normal installation situation, tile size ≥ 100 x 100 mm:
- 1 Screed
- 2 Raw floor
-
No particular measures are required.
Use of small-format tiles < 100 x 100 mm with offset connection line:
- 1 Screed
- 2 Raw floor
- 3 Infill: mortar made of eight parts PCI quartz sand No. II and one part PCI Epoxigrund 390
- 4 Primer: PCI Epoxigrund 390 with quartz sand sprinkling or fresh in fresh
-
Carry out filling (3) and priming (4) as mentioned.
Use of small-format tiles < 100 x 100 mm, connection line not offset:
- 1 Screed
- 2 Raw floor
- 3 Infill: mortar made of eight parts PCI quartz sand No. II and one part PCI Epoxigrund 390
- 4 Primer: PCI Epoxigrund 390 with quartz sand sprinkling or fresh in fresh
-
Depending on the installation height of the drain and the required pipe slope, make a slope jump directly at the connection pipe using two connection bends.
-
Backfill the area up to a screed cover of 40 mm above the pipe crown.
-
Carry out filling (3) and priming (4) as mentioned.
