2.3.1 Installation variations
The length and shape of the Advantix Vario shower channel
can be variably adapted. Use the shower channel configu‐
rator to calculate the material required for any design avail‐
able: http://advantix-vario.viega.de/
The length of the shower channel can be adapted to suit:
n The base unit can be shortened to a length of 300 mm with milli‐
metre precision.
n The length of the shower channel can be extended up to 2800 mm
by installing accessory parts.
The shower channel can be altered in the following way using the fol‐
lowing accessories:

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 7.

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 thin bed sealing 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
thin bed sealing 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.

2.4.2 Fire protection
Product information
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 con‐
struction. In this way, a fire resistance time of up to 120 minutes can be
achieved.

Required accessories
If the basic model of the Vario shower channel is extended by additional
components, the following accessories are required for the mounting of
these components.
Per installed component one corresponding standing grate set and one
accessory set is required. The complete range and the required infor‐
mation can be found in the catalogue.

3.1.2 Tools and materials
Special tools
During assembly:
n Observe installation dimensions.
n For barrier-free showers:
Position the shower channel in such a way that wheelchair wheels
can only cross it at right angles. Viega recommends mounting the
shower channel as close to the wall as possible.
n Do not use mounting adhesive older than 18 months.
n Position the shower channel in such a way that the grate is remov‐
able.
After assembly:
n The shower channel must be fully lined with mortar.
n The sealing accessories should be given to the person responsible
for the bonded sealing (e. g. tiler).
n Coordinate all relevant installation details, especially regarding the
bonded sealing, with those responsible for the subsequent work.
n Spanner size 13
n Hand saw (saw blade maximum 1.5 mm)
n An Allen key in each of the sizes 2.5 and 3

3.1.4 Recommended procedure
The variable installation possibilities of the Advantix Vario require careful
planning of the assembly steps. Viega generally recommends the fol‐
lowing order:
1. Calculate length and cut profile to length if necessary.
2. Pre-mount all short profile parts.
3. Connect the pre-mounted parts to the desired shape.
4. Calculate height and mount feet.
5. Mount base unit and align shower channel.
6. Line the shower channel with screed and seal.
7. Tile the floor.
8. Mount the standing grate.
Handling
Description of the assembly steps, see
on page 22.
3.2
Assembly
3.2.1 Calculating the profile length in niche installation
When fitting a shower channel in a niche, the correct size of niche is of
importance so that it will be possible to remove the grate. The exact
profile length must be calculated for this. The base unit without closing
caps is taken as the profile length.
Ä
Chapter 3.2 „Assembly“
Advantix Vario base unit, for Advantix Vario shower channel, can be cut to length continuously 22 from 50
Handling
Example
Fig. 18: Niche dimensions
A = Minimum width of the niche from plaster to plaster
B = Minimum width of the niche from tile to tile
The basis of the calculation for the length of the profile is the shower
niche after plastering (see dimension A).
The length of the closing caps is subtracted from this measurement.
The result is the profile length.
1030 mm (plastered shower niche)
−
100 mm (2 closing caps 50 mm each)
=
930 mm (profile length)
Advantix Vario base unit, for Advantix Vario shower channel, can be cut to length continuously 23 from 50
3.2.2 Shortening the profile
150
Handling
– If two Vario shower channels are to be joined together,
one of the base units must be shortened by at least
210 mm Ä Chapter 3.2.2 „Shortening the profile“
on page 23.
– End closing pieces, connection pieces and connection
pieces 90° must not be shortened.
Calculate profile length, also see Ä Chapter 3.2.1 „Calculating the
profile length in niche installation“ on page 22.
Transfer the length of the profile onto the shower channel.
INFO! Depending on the installation situation, the shower
channel can be shortened on one or both sides. The position
of the drain may be chosen freely. However, the distance
from the middle of the drain to the end of the profile may not
be less than 150 mm.
Shorten the profile with a hacksaw.
The saw blade must not be wider than 1.5 mm.
Advantix Vario base unit, for Advantix Vario shower channel, can be cut to length continuously 24 from 50
Handling
Carefully deburr all edges.
Particular attention should be paid to surfaces in contact with the
seal.
The profile must be lubricated in the area around the seal.
INFO! No lubricant should come into contact with the flange!
Optimal adhesion of the sealing material is only ensured on a
grease-free flange.
If necessary, clean flange. Use the cleaning cloth supplied or a nongreasing cleaner, e. g. isopropanol.
You now have various possibilities:
n Mount closing caps and base unit. Ä Chapter 3.2.3 „Mounting the
closing caps on base unit“ on page 26
n Mount extending parts. Ä Chapter 3.2.4 „Pre-mounting extending
