Extremely narrow, prize-winning design and can be shortened continuously: The “Advantix Vario” shower drain by Viega has impressed with these features since its introduction onto the market. Viega is now bringing all the advantages to the wall with a new model. With the “Advantix Vario wall drain”, the water drains away over the entire width of the shower. With an installation depth of just 25 mm, the new drain can even be used in front of an existing solid wall. This makes it ideal for small bathrooms. The successful symbiosis of minimalistic design and function also impressed the jury of this year’s “Design Plus powered by ISH” competition.
Tiles up to the wall; a drain which disappears subtly into the wall: When installed, only a 20 mm high drainage gap can be seen of the complete “Advantix Vario wall drain” including odour trap. This can be even further reduced in terms of appearance using a grate. Available in four designs, matt stainless steel, gloss stainless steel, black or white, the grate is a well-designed solution for any bathroom.
Just 25 mm installation depth
The base plate of the shower channel made from extremely durable plastic requires an installation depth of just 25 mm. The “Advantix Vario wall drain” can be fitted into a pre-wall or used in front of a solid brick wall: The plaster thickness or an XPS hard foam panel is often enough for its installation. This makes chiselling work unnecessary, meaning the brickwork is not affected.
With the innovative wall attachment, the sound insulation guidelines in accordance with DIN 4109 and VDI 4100 are also complied with through the simple “click” assembly.
Can be shortened as needed
The “Advantix Vario wall drain” has a length of 1200 mm as standard. Like the familiar “Advantix Vario” shower channel, it can be accurately shortened up to a length of 300 mm as needed. To do this, a saw support is included in the delivery along with a tiler’s set with all the necessary installation and sealing materials. To prevent contamination during the installation phase, the flange surfaces are protected with adhesive strips and the drainage slot with a foam insert.
Renovation and new builds
Depending on the installation circumstances, two drain designs are available: For bathroom renovations with a height of 70 mm and the standard 90 mm model for properties with a higher floor structure, which can be flexibly increased to 165 mm. Water drains along the entire length of the wall drain. An inclination of one to two per cent is all that is needed. It is no longer necessary to laboriously cut to size the sloping tiles. The drainage capacity is between 0.6 and 0.75 litres per second in accordance with DIN EN 1253. The connectors can be rotated by 360 degrees in DN 40 or DN 50.
Easy cleaning
The odour trap of the “Advantix Vario wall drain” is optimised in terms of flow and designed to be self-cleaning as a result. For simple and hygienic cleaning of the channel body in the wall, a cloth or the cleaning brush included in the delivery is all you need.
