2.4 Information for use
2.4.1 Installation variations
The mounting of the drain in a bare concrete floor is as follows:
nThe drain is placed in a floor recess and then cast-in.
Installing in a bare concrete floor
Fig. 2: General installation example – Floor
recess
Product information
Advantix Top bath drain 8 from 24

During the mounting on the floor, the drain is integrated into the floor
construction. At the same time, it can e. g. be integrated into the level-
ling screed or heat insulation. If necessary, a vertical drainpipe can be
led through a drill hole in the floor at the same time.
NOTICE!
The creation of a floor recess must be agreed with the fol-
lowing people:
– a structural engineer
– the on-site fire protection inspector or the specialist
engineer for fire protection
If necessary, proof of compliance with building code or an
expert's report must exist.
2.4.2 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 .
The bonded seal can be applied directly onto the drain flange.

Fig. 4: Diagram of a bonded seal
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.

In connection with suitable drains, only approved bonded sealings with
proof of practicability in keeping with building law may be used. See
Ä„Regulations from section: Sealing“ on page 6 .
Information regarding the procedure can be found in the instructions for
use of the corresponding product.
2.4.3 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.
