Installation of the ADHERO Floor Drain
1. Preparation
Drill a hole with a diameter of at least 70 mm (2 3/4") through both the SOLITEX ADHERO and the structure underneath it.
Clean subsurfaces before taping. Adhesion is not possible on frozen surfaces. There must be no water-repellent substances (e.g. grease or silicone) on materials to be stuck. Subsurfaces must be sufficiently dry and stable. If necessary, remove any moisture with a wet-and-dry vacuum cleaner.
2. Installation
Insert the floor drain into the drillhole (if necessary, secure with countersunk screws) and tape it to the SOLITEX ADHERO with no folds or creases using TESCON VANA.
This adhesive tape should cover approx. 30 to 50 mm (12” to 20”) of both the membrane and the ADHERO Floor Drain. Any water that is collected is to be drained from the building.
3. Connect drainage pipe
Connect the plastic pipe or temporary downpipe to the outlet of the floor drain and secure it to prevent it slipping off. Ensure the drainage water is piped out of the building reliably.
