Installation Instructions

Before installation check the shower tray area (7) slopes correctly towards the waste and the waste outlet
pipe slopes down and away from the waste position by approximately 25mm per metre run (1 in 40).

Before fitting the waste (1), fit the nut (10) onto the waste pipe, followed by the backing ring (9) and the
seal (8), ensure pipe connection is correctly assembled, sealed and watertight.

Locate the waste (1) in the required position, ensuring the main body seal (2) is firmly in position,
and is in contact with the underside of the tray.

Align and fit the locking ring (3) by turning clockwise to tighten.

Check the seal (5) is fitted into the groove at the top of the tube (4).

Lower the trap unit into the recess within the waste body.

Position the cover (6) over the assembly and rotate the cover clockwise until the lugs snap into place.

User Care Instructions

AKW wastes are designed for low maintenance and reliable operation. The waste should be checked as
part of a planned maintenance programme, retightening the screws as required and any part showing
evidence of damage or misuse must be replaced.

Keeping your GW50 Gravity Waste Clean

This product should be cleaned periodically to remove any accumulation of hair or other waste material,
