Installer Information
Placement
Trimmable Trays
Suitable for ‘on oor’ or ‘in oor’ installations.
For wooden oor installation, use a suitable grab adhesive.
For solid oor installation, use a mix of 6:1 sand and
cement to secure the tray down into position. It is
recommended when removing solid oor material, to
remove a minimum depth of double the thickness of
the tray.
Ensure that the oor levels are tested before and
after the installation, water test the ow from tray into
waste for correct installation and drainage efciency.
It is important to ensure that the oor is level in all
directions before putting the tray into place. If water
puddles away from the waste, this is a clear indication
that the levels are not correct. The water must drain
towards the waste.
• Tray height excluding waste: 26mm
• Slate nish
• Stainless Steel waste cover with slots
• Concealed waste
• Shallow depth waste
• High water ow rate (30 l/min)
• Weight load : 200kg
• Impact resistant
• Webbed back reinforcements
• Material : SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound)

Trimmable to within 150mm of waste.
If trimming is absolutely necessary to avoid
obstructions or tricky installations then Onyx
trays can be trimmed down to within 150mm
of the waste cover area. The sides on the tray
Xand Yshown are shaded out to show the
trimmable areas.
The sides of the tray Aand Bmay well show level on testing, but if point Cis low, then water will
puddle in the area of point C and the only remedy is to level the oor and ret the tray. The tray has
‘lands’ on all four sides. Use a spirit level front to back and side to side - all ‘lands’ must be level
(ABC) - the fall is moulded into the tray.
