2.2 Intended use
2.2.1 Areas of use
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.
Technical information, see Ä Chapter 2.3.2 „Technical data“ on page 9.
2.2.2 Media
The shower channel is intended for draining of household-type waste‐
water in constant operation, see Ä „Regulations from section: Media“
on page 6.
nThe short-term temperature of the wastewater may reach up to
95° C. The temperature must be considerably lower in constant
operation.
nThe pH value must be higher than 4 but lower than 10.
It is not permitted to introduce wastewater which would damage the
product material.
2.2.3 Drainage capacity
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

2.4 Information for use
2.4.1 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.

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:
nDrain or shower channel must be equipped with a special flange,
which has an adhesive surface and a width of at least 30 mm.
nFor 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.
nThe screed must be laid at a minimum incline of 1–2 %.
nThe installation must be carried out properly in acc. with the
mounting instructions and the manufacturer's information.

2.4.2 Fire protection
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.
Fig. 4: Example: fire protection pipe lead-in
Mounting instruction of the R120 pipe lead-in see model 4923.5,
Art.-No. 491 673.
2.5 Required accessories
The grate is not included in the scope of delivery and can be ordered
separately (see catalogue).

3 Handling
3.1 Assembly information
3.1.1 Important note
Before assembly:
nCheck if the drainage capacity of the model chosen is sufficient for
the arising water volume Ä Chapter 2.2.3 „Drainage capacity“
on page 7.
nAn adequate level of floor covering stability must be guaranteed
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.
nThe dimensions of slots and recesses must be in compliance with
the regulations from section Ä „Regulations from section: Important
notes“ on page 7.
During assembly:
nObserve installation dimensions.
nDo not use mounting adhesive older than 18 months.
nPosition the shower channel in such a way that the grate is remov‐
able.
After assembly:
nThe shower channel must be fully lined with mortar.
nThe sealing accessories should be given to the person responsible
for the bonded sealing (e. g. tiler).
nCoordinate all relevant installation details, especially regarding the
bonded sealing, with those responsible for the subsequent work.
3.1.2 Installation dimensions
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.
nDimension A = Channel length
nDimension B = Minimum width of the niche from plaster inside edge
to plaster inside edge
nDimension 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.
