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.

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
Ä
„Regulations from section: Sealing“ on page 7.
Information regarding the procedure can be found in the instructions for use of the corresponding product.

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.
2.5
Fig. 15: Example: fire protection pipe lead-in
Mounting instruction of the R120 pipe lead-in see model 4923.5, art.-no. 491 673.
Required accessories
A standing grate set is required for the shower channel. The complete range and the required information can be found in the catalogue.

achieved through suitably thick cladding (also double planking of 2 x
12.5 mm) or through the application of a layer of plaster.

3.1.2 Tools and materials

Special tools
During assembly:
n Observe installation dimensions. n The shower channel is suitable for the following covering thicknesses
(tiles + tile adhesive):
– Floor covering 8–28 mm – Wall covering 10–28 mm
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.

3.1.3 Installation dimensions

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.
Description of the assembly steps, see Ä Chapter 3.2 „Assembly“ on page 21.

Handling
Calculate the profile length.
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.
Align the saw guide at the length.
Cut the profile to length at right angles. Make the cut with the handsaw across both profile edges.
The saw blade must not be wider than 1.5 mm.
Carefully deburr all edges.
Particular attention should be paid to surfaces in contact with the seal.
Advantix Vario shower channel base unit, wall 22 from 57
Handling
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.

Care

3.3.1 Care tips

Press the cover caps on.
Normal soap or a mild cleaning agent can be used for regular mainte‐ nance and prevention of lime scale on the grate and frame. Use no scouring agent or abrasive objects.
Strong stains, even around the drain unit and the siphon, can be removed using typical household cleaner. Rinse the detergent very thor‐ oughly with clear water after the prescribed dwell time. There should be no residue on the components.
