In most drains, the ingression of sewer gases into rooms with drains is
prevented by an odour trap with a water seal. If the drain has not been
used for a long time, the water seal can evaporate and this may lead to
odour nuisance.

The odour proof odour trap prevents the ingression of sewer gases,
even after the water seal has evaporated. The odour proof odour trap is
equipped with two shutter valves, as can be seen in the lower part of
the graphic. If the water seal has evaporated, the shutter valves close
and hold the sewer gases back in the drain.

Page 10
Fig. 2: General mounting example – Drill hole
Product information
n The drain is placed over a floor lead-in (e. g. of a drill hole), through
which the drainpipe is led.
NOTICE!
The creation of a floor recess must be agreed with the fol‐
lowing people:
2.4.2 Sealing
– 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.
The drain can be sealed both conventionally as well as with bonded
sealing.
Depending on the type of sealing, you will require the relevant equip‐
ment set Ä Chapter 2.5 „Required accessories“ on page 14.
Advantix bathroom drain 10 from 22
Page 11
Conventional sealing
Product information
The flange of the drain is intended for conventional sealing. To be able
to seal the drain conventionally, you require a suitable sealing collar and
a clamping ring with which the cuff is secured Ä Chapter 2.5 „Required
accessories“ on page 14.
Fig. 3: Construction diagram of a conventional sealing
NOTICE!
Not suitable for floor-level showers
Conventional sealing is not recommended with floor-level
showers, because dampness can enter the screed and
damp proof layer.
The bonded sealing should be used in the case of floorlevel showers.
Principle
Traditionally, sealing is made using bitumen or EPDM sealing collars.
The sealing collars are laid directly onto the raw concrete or heat insula‐
tion. This process has proved itself to be particularly effective for sealing
balconies, patios, floor installation panels and cellar floors. In addition,
sealing collars are often used as an additional second sealing layer
below the bonded seal.
The following components are required for the installation of a drain
with conventional sealing:
n Drain
n Clamping ring with sealing collar for EPDM and bitumen sealing
lanes
Information for processing
The sealing collar is coated with EPDM on the one side and with
bitumen on the other side
Place the sealing collar on the drain and fasten it with the flange. It
depends on the sealing collar used which material layer of the sealing
collar is placed facing up. You can find more information in the
mounting instructions of the sealing flange.
Advantix bathroom drain 11 from 22
Page 12
Bonded sealing
Product information
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: Ä „Regula‐
tions from section: Sealing“ on page 6.
Bonded sealing can be carried out with the help of a suitable stacking
element. You have the possibility to double seal, using conventional and
bonded sealing or only using bonded sealing.

Important note
Product information
Careful planning is required for professional sealing. In addition,
depending on the individual dampness wear class and the type of foun‐
dation, a suitable BS system with a building regulations certificate of
suitability must be chosen.
Furthermore, the following factors should be taken into account:
n Drain or shower channel must be equipped with a special flange,
which has an adhesive surface and a width of at least 30 mm.
n For bridging the material change from drain to screed, either a suit‐
able sealing collar or sealing tape designed for overlapping with the
BS over a width of at least 50 mm must be used.
n The screed must be laid at a minimum incline of 1–2 %.
n The installation must be carried out properly in acc. with the
mounting instructions and the manufacturer's information.

Push the drain socket into the drainpipe completely.
3.2.2 Prepare for subsequent work
A few points must be observed to integrate the drain into the floor con‐
struction properly. For this reason, proceed as follows to prepare the
drain for subsequent work:
Requirements:
n The drain is connected.
Position the drain at the desired height at the place of use.
Depending on planning, the drain can be integrated into concrete,
screed or a heat insulation layer, for example. It is important that the
upper edge of the drain flange is flush with the upper edge of the
sealing layer. If necessary, raise or lower the drain in the existing
floor using suitable material.
Align drain horizontally using a spirit level.
Secure the drain in such a way that it cannot shift when the subse‐
quent works are applied.
Most importantly, it must be ensured that the drain does not float
when the concrete or screed is poured in.

3.2.4 Mounting the top
Handling
Apply a second layer of bonded sealing onto the sealing collar and,
if necessary, onto the floor.
The top with the grate must still be mounted to finish off the mounting of
the drain. Proceed as follows:
Calculate the height of the floor construction from the edge in the
inside of the drain up to the upper edge of the tiles.
Starting with the upper edge, transfer the measured height onto the
top.
Cut the top to the marked height.
If necessary, insert backflow seal in the lowest notch of the top.
INFO! The backflow seal be must employed when no damp‐
ness is supposed to flow into the drain from outside of the
top but water may seep in from below. Normally, no backflow
seal is mounted so that water that occurs around the frame
(e. g. due to a leaky silicone joint) can flow away. A backflow
seal is mounted in the following cases:
– In the case of the risk of a build-up of water that can soak
through the screed.
– During the mounting of a stacking element for the bonded
sealing (see instructions for use of the stacking element).

Cleaning the drain
Normal soap or a mild cleaning agent can be used for regular care and
prevention of lime scale on the grate and frame. Under no circum‐
stances 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.
We recommend using a mild cleaning agent and a washing-up brush for
cleaning.
