3.2 Assembly
3.2.1 Mounting overflow
Proceed as follows to the mounting of the overflow:
Fit profile seal in the overflow unit.
Push the rubber sleeve onto the overflow unit pipe until the lower
edge is flush with the edge of the overflow pipe.
Place the O-ring in the annular gap of the fixing flange.
Hold the overflow unit on the overflow opening of the bathtub from
the outside.
Screw the fixing flange into the overflow unit by hand.
Pliers or other tools may damage the fixing flange. Only turn the
fixing flange by hand.
3.2.2 Mounting the drain
Proceed as follows to mount the drain:
Handling
Multiplex drain/overflow functional unit 11 from 17

Place the double seal onto the drain unit in such a way that the
recess is positioned over the connecting pipe.
Pull the edge of the double seal over the edge of the drain.
Hold the drain with double seal onto the drain opening from below.
Pull the upper part of the double seal through the drain hole.
Fit the valve top in the double seal.
INFO! The cross-shaped structures of the drain units and the
valve top must be positioned parallel on top of each other to
ensure the full drainage capacity.
Place the fixing screw in the drain unit and tighten using a socket
wrench (SW 14).
3.2.3 Connecting overflow and drain
After the overflow and the drain have been mounted, you must connect
them both using the overflow pipe. Proceed as follows:
Handling
Multiplex drain/overflow functional unit 12 from 17

Requirements:
nThe overflow is mounted in the overflow opening.
nThe drain is securely mounted on the base of the bathtub.
NOTICE! Connections where the pipes are not inserted far
enough into each other become leaky. For this reason, maintain
a minimum insertion depth of 15 mm for every connection.
Mount union nut, sliding ring and seal.
Screw together overflow and extension pipes.
Maintain an insertion depth of at least 15 mm!
Hold the pipe of the overflow unit parallel to the overflow pipe and
mark the positions where the drain and the overflow should be con-
nected.
Maintain an insertion depth of at least 15 mm!
Cut the overflow pipe to the marked length and, if necessary,
deburr.
Push the top end of the overflow pipe into the rubber sleeve.
Maintain an insertion depth of at least 15 mm!
Push the union nut, sliding ring and seal onto the bottom end of the
drain elbow.
Screw the union nut on the drain unit.
3.2.4 Connecting the wastewater system
Proceed as follows to connect the drain/overflow to the wastewater
system:
Handling
Multiplex drain/overflow functional unit 13 from 17

Requirements:
nThe overflow and drain units are installed on the bathtub.
nThe connection between overflow and drain has been made.
If the wastewater pipe only has a diameter of 40 mm, cut off drain
elbow.
Push union nut, sliding ring and seal onto the drain elbow.
Screw the union nut on the drain unit.
Align the odour trap in such a way that the drain elbow can be con-
nected to the wastewater pipe.
Turn the drain at the joints until the required position has been
reached.
Push wastewater pipe in the drain elbow.
3.2.5 Mounting equipment set
The equipment set is not included in the scope of delivery
and must be purchased separately.
Handling
Multiplex drain/overflow functional unit 14 from 17

To avoid damage to the rosette and valve cone, only mount the equip-
ment set after finishing all other work on the building site. Proceed as
follows:
Align and fit rotatable rosette.
Fit valve cone.
Turn rotatable rosette to check function and alignment.
The opening of the valve cone should be 2–3 cm wide when
opened. If necessary, regulate the width of the opening of the valve
cone using the adjusting screw (see next step).
Set the valve cone with the help of the adjusting screw and counter
with union nut.
3.2.6 Leakage test
The leakage test is only carried out as a visual inspection.
Check the points marked in the following drawing with particular care:
Check drain fitting for visible leaks.

3.3 Control
The drain / overflow are controlled via rotatable rosette on the overflow.
Proceed as follows to open or close the drain:
Turn rotatable rosette to the left.
ðThe drain closes itself.
Turn rotatable rosette to the right.
ðThe drain opens itself.
3.4 Maintenance
NOTICE!
Risk of damage due to unsuitable cleaning agent.
The following cleaning agents can damage chrome-plated
surfaces and therefore may not be used:
– scouring agent
– abrasive sponges
– lime, plaster or cement dissolver
– solvents or other acidic cleaning agents
Normal soap or a mild cleaning agent can be used for regular care and
prevention of lime scale on the rotatable rosette and valve cone. Under
no circumstances 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.
