- 2 - stacking element with flange for the application of the bonded sealing
Information for use
Sealing
Bonded sealing
To protect against dampness, sealing foils which are to be processed as liquids are applied directly below the tiles on screed and walls. The provisions of the wear class, of the foundation and the choice of suitable bonded sealing must be carried out in acc. with ZBD data sheet 1/2010 and in acc. with the guideline for bonded sealing (BS).
Important note
Careful planning is required for professional sealing. In addition, depending on the individual dampness wear class and the type of foundation, a suitable BS system with a building regulations certificate of suitability must be chosen.
Furthermore, the following factors should be taken into account:
Drain or shower channel must be equipped with a special flange, which has an adhesive surface and a width of at least 30 mm
To enable the material change from drain to screed, either a suitable sealing cuff or sealing strip, which is designed for overlapping with the BS with a width of at least 50 mm must be used.
The screed must be laid at a minimum incline of 1–2 %.
The installation must be carried out properly in acc. with the installation manual and the manufacturer's information.

for the wear classes A and AO:
in accordance with ETAG 022 T1for the wear classes A, B and C:
in accordance with DiBt Rule list A, Part 2 of the DiBt and the test principles for bonded sealing (PG AIV-F)in acc. with DIN EN 14891:
"Liquid-applied impermeable products for use below ceramic tiling boded with adhesives"
Information regarding the procedure can be found in the instructions for use of the corresponding product.
Required accessories

Mounting stacking element
Requirements
The drain has been mounted and lined in accordance with the instructions for use.
-
Remove yellow protective plug from the drain.
-
Calculate the height of the floor construction from the edge in the inside of the drain up to the upper edge of the floor.
-
Starting with the upper edge, transfer the measured height onto the stacking element.
-
Cut the stacking element to the marked height.
-
Install backflow seal.
-
Insert stacking element in drain.
-
Work the stacking element into the screed or floor covering.
NOTICE!
Product damage due to improper installation
If hollow spaces occur during the lining of the stacking element, leaks may occur when pressure is applied.
Inform the subsequent workers that the flange of the stacking element must be fully lined and that there must be no hollow spaces.
Sealing the drain
NOTICE!
Product damage due to improper installation
If hollow spaces occur during the lining of the flange, leaks may occur when pressure is applied.
Check the proper completion of the subsequent work.
INFO!
Screed and floor tiles must be laid at an incline of 1–2 % in the direction of the drain.
Bonded sealing
Requirements:
The flange is free of heavy soil.
The complete surface of the flange is lined with material and undamaged.
-
Remove protective foil.
-
Apply liquid foil onto the dry screed and spread onto the internal edge of the flange tile.
NOTICE!Observe the liquid foil manufacturer's instructions for use.
-
Lay the sealing collar into the liquid foil.
-
Apply second layer of liquid foil onto the sealing collar and, if necessary, onto the floor.
Mounting the top
If necessary, the top with the grate must still be mounted to finish off the mounting of the drain. Proceed as follows:
-
Remove yellow protective plug.
-
Cut the top flush to length with the upper edge of the tiles.
-
Insert top without backflow seal.
-
Lay tiles. Keep gap between top and flange free from surface seal and tile adhesive.
-
Close the gap between grate and tiles with silicone.
