Information for use
Sealing
Bonded sealing
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 .
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 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.

Permitted bonded seals
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.

Mounting height adjustment piece and shower channel profile
Determining dimensions
INFO!
The shower channel profile can be shortened.
Coloured profiles can be likewise shortened. When the coloured profile (PVD-coated) is shortened, the stainless steel base material is visible at the cut edges. Mount the shortened profile so that the cut edge is not visible.
The shower channel profile is divided into two drain zones.
- 1 Drain zone (flat, no incline)
- 2 Drain zone (with contour, 1–2 % incline)
The shower channel profile can be shortened by up to 100 mm at the ends of the drain zone.
To be able to achieve individual profile lengths, the shower channel profile and the tiles are at the same height.
Shortening range of drain zone
Profile length | Shortening range |
|---|---|
800 mm | 600–800 mm |
1000 mm | 800–1000 mm |
1200 mm | 1000–1200 mm |
- * Offset between shower channel profile and tile
In the drain zone, the shower channel profile can be shortened to a minimum installation length of 150 mm from centre of the drain.
The resultant offset between the shower channel profile and the tile can be closed with a tile end rail or with silicon.
INFO!
If channel solutions >1200 mm are required, the standard lengths of 800, 1000 and 1200 mm can be combined with one another.
To avoid an offset when laying several profiles, shorten the profiles only at the drain zone (max. 100 mm).
Shortening range of drain zone for extended shower channel profiles
Profile length | Shortening range |
|---|---|
2 x 800 mm | 1200–1600 mm |
2 x 1000 mm | 1600–2000 mm |
2 x 1200 mm | 2000–2400 mm |
Shortening the shower channel profile
-
Determine the required dimension and mark at right angles.
-
Using a handsaw, shorten the shower channel profile at right angles and deburr.
Alternatively, the shower channel profile can be shortened using an electric metal slitting disc or a speed-restricted angle grinder with suitable stainless steel slitting disc.
NOTICE!To prevent corrosion, the tools must not have been used beforehand for processing ferrous materials.
Mounting the shower channel profile
-
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.
-
INFO!
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
Shorten dimension X along the cutting aid and deburr.
-
Unroll the butyl tape and cut to size.
-
Stick the butyl tape centrally on the underside of the shower channel profile.
-
Remove the protective foil.
The flexural strength of the tile adhesive must conform to at least Class S1.
-
Apply the tile adhesive over the entire underside of the shower channel profile and the height adjustment piece.
-
Remove the wooden site protection.
Do not damage the bonded sealing.
-
Insert the shower channel profile and the height adjustment piece.
-
Align the shower channel profile and the height adjustment piece horizontally.
The shower channel profile can be radially rotated by max. 10 mm (with a 1200 mm shower channel profile).
To adjust the shower profile to the tile pattern, the height adjustment piece can be moved on the long side by 3.5 mm and on the head side by 10 mm.
-
The shower channel profile can be offset by 11.5–15 mm by rotating the top through 180°.
After alignment, fasten the height adjustment piece with tile adhesive.
-
Fit the shower channel inlay.
Two insert variants are available:
Inlet opening double, model 4981.60
Inlet opening single, model 4981.50
Laying the floor tiles
-

Care
Care tips
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.
Cleaning
Viega recommends using a mild cleaning agent, a cloth and a washing-up brush for cleaning.
Clean shower channel
-
Remove the shower channel insert and sieve.
-
Clean the sieve.
-
Clean the odour trap.
-
Replace the sieve and the shower channel insert.
Disposal
Separate the product and packaging materials (e. g. paper, metal, plastic or non-ferrous metals) and dispose of in accordance with valid national legal requirements.
