Handling Check whether the shower channel is inserted into the height adjustment piece as far as it will go. 3.2.4 Connect shower channel The connection to the wastewater system must be completed before the drain can be installed in the floor construction. Requirements: A pipe to the planned drainage position is already in place for the connection to the wastewater system.
Handling Secure the feet in place with fixing material if necessary. 3.2.5 Preparing for further work Remove the protective foil around the drain. INFO! The protective foil must not become dirty. It will be required later. Fill the shower channel with water. Check the drain casing and pipeline for leak tightness.

Handling Lining with screed NOTICE! Product damage due to improper installation If hollow spaces occur during the lining of the shower channel, leaks may occur when pressure is applied. Inform the subsequent workers that the shower channel must be fully lined and that there must be no hollow spaces. INFO! Screed and floor tiles must be laid at an incline of 1–2 % in the direction of the shower channel.
Page 25
Handling Apply the first layer of bonded sealing generously onto the screed. Observe the instructions for use of the manufacturer of the bonded sealing. Remove protective foil. The protective foil is no longer required and can be discarded. Close the holes in the flange using plugs included with delivery. Apply the mounting adhesive to the flange.
Page 26
Handling Use a palette-knife to spread the mounting adhesive evenly. Place the sealing tape on the flange in such a way that flange and screed are evenly covered. Press the sealing tape firmly onto the mounting adhesive and bonded sealing. Overlap the corners in the process. Stick the overlapping strips together at the corners with mounting adhesive.
