Delivery scope
• Complete set for direct installation
Installation Steps
• Make a wall opening 300 mm wide and at least 70 mm deep.
• Mark the installation height and position of the body.
• Cut the height adjustment piece and discard the excess.
• Mark and fix the position of the base plates.
• Place the built-in body into the wall opening.
• Position the siphon at the correct angle to fit the piping.
• Remove the protective cover and perform a water test to check for leaks.
• After confirming there is no leakage, reattach the protective cover to the body.
• Pour the screed and create a 1–2% slope.
• Use suitable adhesive for the waterproofing textile.
• Remove the protective cover and open the waterproofing textile.
• Adhere the waterproofing textile to the wall with a suitable tool.
• Apply complete waterproofing of the wet area, either with liquid coating or textile membrane.
• If cutting the body is necessary, pull the sealing gaskets toward the center and measure the cutting length.
• After cutting, return the gasket to its initial position (don’t forget to subtract the gasket distance from the rear hanger allowance).
• Apply the tile adhesive.
• Place and adjust the leveling wedges.
• Start laying the tiles carefully, considering the leveling wedges.
• Install the hair trap and hang the cover into position.
Important Warnings
• Pre-Installation Inspection: Before starting, inspect the product for any damage from transport. Do not install a damaged product.
• Protection: Use the provided protective cover to prevent construction debris, mortar, or grout from entering the drain during installation.
• Slope: The shower floor must have a minimum slope of 1.5% towards the drain to ensure proper water flow.
• Waterproofing: Ensure the waterproofing membrane and sealing flange are applied precisely according to the user guide to prevent leaks.
• Leveling and Filling: Use a spirit level to ensure the product is perfectly level. The space beneath the drain body must be completely filled and compacted with mortar or screed.
• Tile-to-Drain Gap: Leave a permanent, elastic joint (e.g., silicone) between the tile and the drain frame to accommodate movement.
• Chemical Exposure: Avoid prolonged contact with bleach, acids, or chlorine-based cleaners. If contact occurs, rinse the surface with plenty of water immediately.
• Stainless Steel Quality: Our products are made of 304-grade stainless steel, which is durable and hygienic. For areas with high salt or chlorine exposure, such as near the sea or pools, we recommend using our 316-grade stainless steel products.
• Maintenance: Use a mild soap and a soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrub pads. Stainless steel does not rust, but external factors (e.g., salt, chlorine) can cause surface oxidation. Regular maintenance, especially in high-exposure areas, is necessary to prevent this.
• Warranty: Failure to follow these instructions will void the product warranty.
General Cleaning and Maintenance Guidelines
• Cleaning Frequency: Clean the drain and cover at intervals ranging from once a week to once a month, depending on usage intensity and local water hardness/contamination conditions. Shorten this interval in high-traffic applications.
• Cleaning Agents: For stainless steel surfaces, use pH-neutral or mild household cleaners. Avoid products containing strong acids (such as chlorine, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid) or highly alkaline substances.
• Cleaning Tools: Use soft microfiber cloths or sponges. Hard brushes, steel wool, or wire brushes will scratch the surface. Do not spray or pour cleaning agents directly onto the product; apply them to the cloth first and then clean the surface.
• Brushed / Textured Surfaces: Always clean brushed finishes in the direction of the grain to maintain the original surface appearance.
• Rinsing and Drying: After cleaning, thoroughly rinse all detergent residues with clean water. Dry the surface with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and staining.
• Siphon and Odour Trap Maintenance: Periodically remove the cover and siphon components to clear accumulated hair, soap residue, and other deposits. Regular cleaning helps prevent blockages and unpleasant smells.
• Protection and Corrosion Prevention: Avoid direct contact with other metallic surfaces. Do not leave mortar or cement residues on the product, as these can cause long-term surface damage.
• Surface Finish Compatibility: Select cleaning agents and tools suitable for the specific surface finish (polished, matte, or brushed). For example, polished finishes are more sensitive to scratches.
