The shower channel is used in the bathroom as a drain for a floor-level
shower. It is designed for small to medium volumes of water, which
occur in e. g. residential building.
2.2.2 Media
2.2.3
Drainage capacity
Technical information, see Ä Chapter 2.3.2 „Technical data“ on page 9.
The shower channel is intended for draining of household-type waste‐
water in constant operation, see Ä „Regulations from section: Media“
on page 6.
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.
The drainage capacity is dependent on the chosen installation height.
The installation height is the distance from the drain to the flange.
Drainage capacity at an accumulation height of 10 mm above the grate:
0.65–0.85 l/s
Drainage capacity at an accumulation height of 20 mm above the grate:
0.8–1.0 l/s

Bonded sealing
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.

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.

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

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.

3.1 Assembly information
3.1.1 Important note
Before assembly:
n Check if the drainage capacity of the model chosen is sufficient for
n An adequate level of floor covering stability must be guaranteed
n The dimensions of slots and recesses must be in compliance with
Handling
the arising water volume Ä Chapter 2.2.3 „Drainage capacity“
on page 7.
Ä
Chapter 2.3.2 „Technical data“ on page 9. This can be achieved
either through an adequate covering of screed or another alternative
solution. Relevant measures must be considered before mounting.
the regulations from section Ä „Regulations from section: Important
notes“ on page 7.
3.1.2 Installation dimensions
During assembly:
n Observe installation dimensions.
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.
When fitting a shower channel in a niche, to be able to remove the grate
and to avoid a strip of tiles next to the channel, the correct size of niche
is of importance.
n Dimension A = Channel length
n Dimension B = Minimum width of the niche from plaster inside edge
to plaster inside edge
n Dimension C = Minimum width of the niche from tile inside edge to
tile inside edge
Dimension "B" is important so that the flange does not need to be mor‐
tised and the sealing on the flange and wall can be completed properly.
Dimension "C" is important so that the grate remains removable.

Lining with screed
Handling
NOTICE!
Product damage due to improper installation
If hollow spaces occur during the lining of the shower
channel, leaks may occur when pressure is applied.
Inform the subsequent workers that the shower channel
must be fully lined and that there must be no hollow spaces.
INFO! Screed and floor tiles must be laid at an incline of 1–2 % in
the direction of the shower channel.
Line the shower channel up to the upper edge of the flange with
screed.
3.2.6 Sealing the shower channel
Requirements
n The flange must be clean and free from material residue. If neces‐
sary, clean the flange.
n The flange must be coated with protective foil.
Cut the sealing tape generously.
The strips should overlap when stuck on.

Handling
Apply the first layer of bonded sealing generously onto the screed.
Observe the instructions for use of the manufacturer of the bonded
sealing.
Remove protective foil.
The protective foil is no longer required and can be discarded.
Close the holes in the flange using plugs included with delivery.
Apply the mounting adhesive to the flange.
Observe the expiry date of the mounting adhesive, Ä „Mounting
adhesive“ on page 14.

CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to sharp edges
Sharp edges in the barefoot area can lead to injuries.
Ensure yourself that there are no sharp edges in the bare‐
foot area. Check with particular care:
– tiles
– cover trims
– end profile
Floor tiles must be laid with an incline of 1–2 % in the direc‐
tion of the shower channel.

Lay tiles.
Polish tile edges.
Insert sieve.
Finally, a grate must be mounted. You will find suitable grates in the
catalogue.
Mounting, see grate's instruction for use.
Seal the joint between the grate frame and the tiles with silicone.
Care
3.3.1 Care tips
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.
