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 buildings.
Technical information, see Technical data .
The shower channel is intended for draining of household-type wastewater in constant operation, see Regulations from section: Media .
The short-term temperature of the wastewater may reach up to 95° C. The temperature must be considerably lower in constant operation.
The pH value must be higher than 4 but lower than 10.
It is not permitted to introduce wastewater which would damage the product material.

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: Regulations from section: Sealing .
Careful planning is required for professional sealing. In addition, depending on the individual dampness wear class and the type of foundation, a suitable thin bed bonded sealing with a building regulations certificate of suitability must be chosen.
Furthermore, the following factors should be taken into account:
The drain or shower channel must be equipped with a special flange, which has an adhesive surface and a width of at least 50 mm.
For bridging the material change from drain to screed, either a suitable sealing collar or sealing tape designed for overlapping with the thin bed bonded sealing over 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 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 Regulations from section: Sealing .
Information regarding the procedure can be found in the instructions for use of the corresponding product.
Before assembly:
Check if the drainage capacity of the model chosen is sufficient for the arising water volume Drainage capacity .
During assembly:
Observe installation dimensions.
Position the shower channel in such a way that the insert is removable.
After assembly:
The shower channel must be fully lined with mortar.
The sealing accessories should be given to the person responsible for the bonded sealing (e.g. tiler).
Coordinate all relevant installation details, especially regarding the bonded sealing, with those responsible for the subsequent work.
Tool for removing the insert (e.g.model 4965.90, art. no. 689 704)
The tiler set has to be handed over to the person responsible for the bonded sealing (tiler).
Determine installation height H.
The installation height from the upper edge of the flange to the lower edge of the drain connection is 135 mm.
Shorten the dimension X on the mounting flange.
X = 135 mm - H
Deburr the mounting flange.
The height can be increased using a commercially available HT pipe DN50.
The minimum diameter of a drill hole is 70 mm.
Fully insert the mounting flange into the drainpipe.
If the drain connection has not been fixed in the concrete ceiling, use a pipe clamp to secure the connection line against slipping out.
The Advantix Cleviva shower channel vertical drain does not have an odour trap function. Prevent odour nuisances from sewer gases by connecting the drain to an odour trap.
The flange can be rotated around 360°.
The arrows on the flange acts as alignment aids.
Align the flange horizontally in all directions.
Can be installed only in front of a plastered wall or a prefabricated wall.
minimum distance to wall X = 4 mm
maximum distance to wall Y = 17 mm
Cut the side of the reinforcement area on the wall with a blade.
The flooring height (bonded sealing + adhesive + tiles) must not exceed 30 mm.
Lift up the label.
Fill the drain unit with water.
Check the drain casing and the connection line for leaks.
Re-affix the label.
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.
The screed and floor tiles must be laid at an incline of 1–2 % in the direction of the shower channel.
Requirement:
The site protection has been mounted.
Line the shower channel with screed.
Fill with screed to the upper edge of the site protection.

Insert the shower channel profile into the height adjustment piece as far as it will go.
Make sure that shower channel profile protrusion sits exactly in the recess of the height adjustment piece.
Determine the flooring height H.
For fault-free drainage, Viega recommends laying the floor covering 1–2 mm higher than the shower channel profile.
Due to the stepless shortening of the top, an installation height of at least A 12 mm to B 30 mm is possible for tiles and tile adhesive.
Lay the floor covering 1–2 mm higher than the shower channel profile.
Dimension X = 30 mm - H

Normal soap or a mild cleaning agent can be used for regular maintenance and prevention of lime scale on the grate and frame. Use no scouring agent or abrasive objects.
Strong stains, even around the drain unit and the odour trap, can be removed using typical household cleaner. Rinse the detergent very thoroughly with clear water after the prescribed dwell time. There should be no residue on the components.
Viega recommends using a mild cleaning agent, a cloth and a washing-up brush for cleaning.
