The wall drain is used as a drain in the bathroom for a floor-level
shower. It is dimensioned for small to medium volumes of water, which
occur in e.g. residential building. The wall drain complies with the
requirements of the applicable regulations, see Ä „Regulations from
section: Fields of application“ on page 7.

Due to its flat installation height, the shower channel is especially suit‐
able for the refurbishment of old buildings with a low floor thickness.
Technical information, see Ä Chapter 2.3.3 „Technical data“
on page 16.
Media
The shower channel is intended for draining of household-type waste‐
water in constant operation, see Ä „Regulations from section: Media“
on page 7.
n The short-term temperature of the wastewater may reach up to
95° C. The temperature must be considerably lower in constant
operation.
n The pH value must be higher than 4 but lower than 10.
It is not permitted to introduce wastewater which would damage the
product material.

able: http://advantix-vario.viega.cz/
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 Installation situation 1 to 3: The standing grate with cover cap can be
installed against the wall or glass partition without spacing.
n Installation situation 4 and 5: (wall offset to the rear): The standing
grate with cover cap must be installed against the wall or glass parti‐
tion with spacing.

Bonded sealing
The measured sound level during water drainage is 19 dB(A). For infor‐
mation on sound protection requirements met, see Ä „Regulations from
section: Sound protection“ on page 8.
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 bonded sealing with a building regulations
certificate of suitability must be chosen.
Furthermore, the following factors should be taken into account:
n 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.
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 bonded 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.
