Your first decision is to determine where the INNI will be installed. Will it be at the entrance
or center of the shower? Will it be against a wall or curb? Will the Drain Channel be hidden
under the wall tile? Keep in mind that your installation options may be limited by obstructions, such
as floor joists, ducting, or plumbing. After you decide where you want to install the INNI, see below
to prepare the installation location. – (See pgs. 16,17,18 for Trim installation details)

With End Sweeps, the INNI is 73-3/8” long. If your shower isn’t this exact size, cut the
Drain Body to fit your shower. If a longer length is needed, the Drain Coupler kit can be
used to join two INNI’s. (See pg. 19 for information on the Drain Coupler kit).
For more information visit ebbe-america.com
Mark the Final DrainBody Cut:
•Put the Drain Body in the desired location
•Place the left and right End Sweeps against
the left and right walls respectively.
•Use a square and pen to mark the Drain
Body at the End Sweep drop down location
as shown. The Drain Body is now ready for
the final cut.
Dry Fit the Drain:
After cutting, de-burr parts, dry-fit the
Drain Body and End Sweeps together and
verify the assembly fits the space. Adjust
as needed.
a Rough Cut the Drain Body:
Measuring from the center of the waste pipe, cut the Drain Body within 4” of each wall so it fits
into the space and connects to the waste pipe. Don’t worry the Drain Body is cut short of the
walls; the End Sweeps will make up the remaining distance.

cFinal Cut of the Drain Body:
Cuts can be made with a variety of tools,
however, make sure cuts made to the
Drain Body are NEAT andSQUARE.

Remove Support Rib (Only if Needed):
IF the final cut intersects a Support Rib on the Drain Body, then you will need to remove the overhung
portion of the Support Rib on the Ramp so they won’t interfere with each other when the End Sweeps
are connected.
Bond Left and Right Transition Ramps into End
Sweeps
Bond the Ramps into the End Sweeps using the
Squeeze Bottle and ABS cement. Clean off any
excess cement.
Identify the Correct Transition Ramps:
On the under-side of the Drain Body you will see zones marked A,B,C, D (1). Transition Ramps (2) are also
marked A,B,C, or D. Choose the Ramp that matches the zone where the final cut has been made. Dry fit the
Ramps to each End Sweep. Ramps provide a smooth transition between the Main Channel and the End
Sweep.
b
c
ASSEMBLING THE INNI
Install the Transition Ramps to create a smooth internal flow surface, permanently connect
the End Sweeps to the Drain Body, install the End Sweep Decks and add aluminum Rails for
strength.

Drill First, Then Countersink for Screws
1. Use the Drill Guide and Drill Bit to create holes at the four corners of the Drain Body.The
drilled holes must align precisely with the pilot holes in the End Sweep.
2. Use the Countersink Guide to recess the holes for the Screw heads. The Countersink Guide limits
countersink depth and ensures the Screws will be flush with the Drain Body.
a
2. Attach Left and Right End Sweeps
Seat Drill Guide into
the corner of the Drain
Body. Holes Must Be
Accurately Located.
Prepare to Attach the End Sweep to the Drain Body:
1. Pour ABS cement into the Squeeze Bottle and apply two lines of ABS cement to the End
Sweep as shown below. Use sufficient cement to allow a small amount of "squeeze out."
2. Use Cotton Swabs to remove excess cement at inner drain seam.
b
IMPORTANT: Apply two lines of ABS cement as shown to provide for air escape during assembly.
If air is trapped by improper application, it can create a pathway for water escape.

IMPORTANT: Two aluminum Rails are provided
with the INNI and will need to be shortened if the
drain has been cut. The Rails are NOT the same
height. The Drain Channel Rail (short) is labeled.
You can verify that the Rails are in the correct
locations if they are flush with the bottom of the
Drain Body.
Drill and Countersink for Rail Attachment Screws: Use the Drill Guide, Countersink Guide, and Drill Bit
to make six countersunk holes through the Drain Body and Rails. Screws should be roughly placed at
each end and center of both Rails. Do not over-tighten the Screws.
Congratulations! Assembly is complete.

3. Install Stiffening Rails
Measure and Cut Rails: Measure the distance between the End Sweeps and cut the Rails to length.
Both Rails should be the same length.
bClean Surfaces and Install Rails: Clean the surfaces where the Rails will be mounted. Remove the
pink release liner from one Rail and forcefully install the Rail into position. Use a piece of wood
to push and rub along the length of the Rail to make sure it is completely seated. Repeat this
process for the opposite rail.

WATER TESTING THE INNI
After assembly you need to water test the assembled INNI for any leaks. The INNI should
be tested before installation and after waterproofing the shower floor to ensure that any
problems are addressed before tile installation.
aInsert Test Ball: Coat the test ball with Silicone Grease. Place the Test Ball into the Drain Outlet to
create a temporary watertight seal.
bBlock and Level the Drain: Support the INNI on blocks and make sure it’s level.
cFill with Water and Look for Leaks: Completely fill the INNI with water and verify that there are no
leaks. Best practice is to leave the INNI filled for a minimum of one hour. If any leaks are found,
repair leaking areas with ABS cement. Repeat until there are no leaks. Remove Test Ball before
installation.

IN-SHADOW INSTALLATION DETAILS
•The In-Shadow trim is asymmetrical and can be flipped 180 degrees to suit the
height of the tile above the Drain Channel. The bottom of the wall tile above the
Drain Channel should be a minimum of 0.3” above the installed floor tile. Thicker
tile requires a larger gap so the Access Cover can be removed.
•Use the included Abrasive Cut-Off Wheel to cut the Trim to length as needed. **
•Run a heavy continuous bead of urethane sealant along the Tile Backer face that will
receive the In-Shadow Trim. Firmly press the Trim piece into the sealant bead and
adjust into final position before sealant cures. TheTrim pieces should run the entire
length of the drain.
In-Shadow installations hide the Drain Channel in the shadow of the overhanging wall tile.
As the water reaches the wall, it surprisingly disappears before your eyes.
Two pieces of In-shadow Trim are included with the E6100-25, E6100-38, E6100-50 kits.

•Insert the supplied Foam Backer Rod into the Drain Channel. This is temporary and will keep debris
out of the Drain Channel during tiling. It also holds the In-Sight Trim in place during tile installation.
•Apply thinset over the face of the In-Shadow Trim and onto the Tile Backer for setting tile. The
bottom edge of tile should rest on the horizontal ledge of the Trim piece. Don’t use sealant on this
bottom edge of tile. This will allow for any water to weep under the tile and down the drain if
necessary.
** PLEASE NOTE: When cutting Trim to desired length it is best practice to place all cut edges at the
outer ends of the INNI. This will allow factory edges to butt together when using multiple Trim pieces.

IN-SHADOW INSTALLATION DETAILS
•Using In-Sight Trim for an At-Wall installation is optional. If Trims are used, they will widen
the Drain Channel opening and align more properly with the angled front of the Access Cover.
•Install the wall tile so it rests on the back flange of the INNI and aligns with the back face of
the Drain Channel.
•Use the Abrasive Cut-Off Wheel to cut the Trim to length as needed. **
•If using urethane sealant to adhere the Trim, use intermittent beads so weep water can
escape under the Trim to the Drain Channel. Trim can also be adhered to the drain with
thinset in a continuous layer as water will be able to slowly drain through the thinset.
•Insert supplied Foam Backer Rod into Drain Channel between the In-Sight trim and wall tile. In
certain circumstances, it is better to use pieces of the Backer Rod to wedge between the wall
tile and Trim so it stays firmly in place.
•Install floor tile. Remove Backer Rod after tile and grout have cured.
** PLEASE NOTE: When cutting Trim to desired length it is best practice to place all cut edges
at the outer ends of line drain. This will allow factory edges to butt together when using
multiple Trim pieces.
At-Wall installation leaves the Drain Channel visible from above. The wall tile extends down
to meet the top of the drain and aligns with the back face of the Drain Channel.
Four pieces of In-Sight Trim are included with E6100-25, E6100-38, E6100-50 kits.

•Use the Abrasive Cut-Off Wheel to cut Trim to length as needed.
•On the shower/wet side of the Drain Channel use thinset along the entire length to bond Trim pieces to
the Drain Body. Firmly press the Trim into thinset and position in place. Remove any excess thinset from
Drain Channel.
•On dry side of the Drain Channel, run a continuous bead of urethane sealant along the entire length of the
INNI to bond Trim piece to the Drain Body. Firmly press the Trim into sealant and adjust as needed. Trim
pieces should run the entire length of line drain. The continuous bead of sealant stops the migration of
water under the dry side tile.
•Before the thinset and sealant sets, insert the Trim Spacer between the Trim pieces. This will properly
space the Trim pieces and hold them in position while the thinset and sealant cure. Leave this temporary
Spacer in place while tiling to keep debris out of the Drain Channel. After the grout has cured, remove the
Trim Spacer sticks.
** PLEASE NOTE: When cutting Trim to desired length it is best practice to place all cut edges at the outer
ends of the INNI. This will allow factory edges to be butt together when using multiple Trim pieces.
In-Sight Trim provides a minimal stainless steel finished edge along the length of the Drain
Channel. Four pieces of In-Sight Trim are included with E6100-25, E6100-38, E6100-50 kits.

INNI Cleaning Brush Kit. Specifically designed and manufactured to quickly
clean all interior surfaces of the INNI drain. Custom sized for your INNI.
INNI Drain Coupler Kit: Attach multiple INNI together. If coupling two or more INNI, an
additional waste pipe/s MUST be installed. Additional Drain Body sections CANNOT be
added to the ends of a full length INNI because it will create negative slope and water
stagnation, and cleaning problems within the Main Channel.
INNI Hot Mop Receptor Kit: Adapt the INNI drain to a hot mop
installation using the Hot Mop Receptor Kit. This sub-drain is made of
glass filled PPS plastic and can withstand the high heat of hot tar. The
Receptor is hot mopped just like a standard clamping drain and the
INNI is mortared into the final slope.
