Section 3: General Installation guidance
for all configuration types
This section is an introduction to the basic installation and assembly rules for Aqua-grade Linear.
It is important that you have read and understand these requirements before commencing installation.
Page 4
The blue corner section must always have 2 feet fitted.
When using configurations that start from a wall it is
important that 2 feet are fitted to the first section to
support the section properly.
(excludes SCR15L and SCR15R parts)
All parts have gradient slope built in, you do not need to
adjust the feet to add gradient only to adjust height.
Using these dimension it is possible to calculate the
overall approximate finished depth required to install.
As more rows are added the adjustable feet will need to have spacers added to ensure correct gradient and levels are
maintained. The general rule is to add 1 spacer to each foot for every 2 rows that are added. (see above).
Extra spacers are supplied to help with subfloors that are very uneven or not level.

1
Determine where the Aqua-grade linear will be installed.
(if the product is being installed into an existing floor the
screed will need to be excavated first.)
2
Measure out and mark the position of the waste pipe
and gully.
3
Using appropriate tools, excavate enough concrete
to allow the waste to be fitted.
5
Take the yellow starter section and screw in the
levelling feet. Then clip the feet mounting plates onto
levelling feet.
4
Install the gully and waste pipe in an approved manner.
6
Position the starter section correctly and mark the
position of the mounting plates. Temporarily place the
drain channel into the starter section and connect the
waste to ensure correct positioning.
Section 4: General Installation guidance
for all configuration types
This section covers parts of the installation that are are common to all configuration types.
Please see section 5 and follow the relevant stages that are applicable to the type you are installing.

7
Remove the mounting plates from the feet, drill and
fix them to the sub floor to secure them in position.
9
Using a screwdriver and spirit level adjust the levelling
feet until all outside edges are level.
Ensure the height is set correctly at this stage also.
(see diagram 5 on page 4 for further guidance)
10
At this stage we recommend that the waste pipe is buried
and the the starter section is bedded. This can be done by
pushing sand/cement under the section. It may be preferred
to temporarily remove the linear channel to do this.
11
Begin adding the first section, ensure it is fully located
and levelled correctly. (this illustration shows a corner
section but this is dependant on the configuration type)
12
When making levelling adjustments it is important that
the feet are only just in contact with the sub floor, being
careful not to over or under adjust.
8
Reposition the starter section and clip into the mounting
plates. Place the Linear channel into the starter section,
drill and fix in place. (also see drain assembly guide)
Ensure screw is fitted to
connect gully to Linear channel.
(do not over tighten)
Section 4: General Installation guidance
for all configuration types
This section covers parts of the installation that are are common to all configuration types.
Please see section 5 and follow the relevant stages that are applicable to the type you are installing.

14
Working in a clockwise direction continue to add parts.
After completion of each row the outer edges must be
level.
15
Continue adding parts and levelling in the same manner.
16
When the assembly is complete we recommend that the
outer perimeter is shuttered to prevent screed escaping
whist backfilling is carried out.
17
Begin filling the Aqua-grade with a semi dry screed mix and
smooth off with a wooden or plastic float.
Ensure the screed is compacted well to prevent hollow areas.
18
When fully filled it may be necessary to allow the screed
to dry out slightly before final finish trowelling.
When complete the shuttering can be removed and the
remaining floor finished.
13
When the first section has been adjusted continue adding
the remaining components for the configuration you are
installing. Follow the relevant assembly diagrams in section 5.
