It is possible to extend the odour trap below the bathtub in the case of bathtubs with a very thick floor. The extension set, model 6141.7, is available for such cases.
Handling
Assembly information
Mounting conditions
The following requirements exist for the mounting of the drain / overflow:
The bathtub is installed.
The drain pipeline is installed all the way to the bathtub.
The underside of the bathtub is accessible.
Pipe interrupter
Backflow situation: If a negative pressure situation should occur while the bathtub is full, bath water may flow back into the potable-water installation.
To prevent bath water from flowing back into the potable-water installation, a pipe interrupter must be installed in the pipeline between the shut-off valve and the tub inlet.
The following schematic diagram shows what this should look like:
It is important that the pipe interrupter is mounted vertically, in the direction of flow and at least 150 mm above the upper edge of the bathtub.
Observe the local standards and regulations.
The pipe interrupter is not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately. Observe the instructions for use of the pipe interrupter.
Installation dimensions
The following values are valid for L (length) and H (height):
L = 150–400
H = 180–430

There is a groove on the hexagon of the mounting aid, which is placed on the bar of the fixing screw.
Mounting the drain
Proceed as follows to mount the drain:
-
Place the double seal into the drain hole of the bathtub.
-
Position the drain unit on the double seal from below in such a position that the upstand of the drain unit is placed in the recess of the double seal.
-
Fit the fixing flange in the double seal.
-
Place the fixing screws in the drain unit and tighten them by hand.
The screw with the internal thread must go into the hole left of the inlet opening in the drain unit (see detailed illustration).
INFO!Cordless screwdrivers or similar tools can damage the product. Only tighten the screws by hand.
Connecting overflow and drain
Once the overflow and drain have been installed, connect both to the overflow pipe.
Requirements:
The overflow is mounted in the overflow opening.
The drain is securely mounted on the base of the bathtub.
-
NOTICE!
Connections where the pipes are not inserted far enough into each other become leaky.
For this reason, maintain a minimum insertion depth of 15 mm for every connection.
-
Hold the overflow pipe parallel to the pipe of the overflow unit and mark the points where the drain and overflow are connected.
Minimum insertion depth: 15 mm
-
Cut the overflow pipe to the marked length and deburr it.
The overflow extension (1) is only supplied with drain sets for extra-long bathtubs.
-
Push the top end of the overflow pipe into the rubber sleeve.
Minimum insertion depth: 15 mm
-
Push the union nut, sliding ring and seal onto the bottom end of the drain elbow.
-
Screw the union nut on the drain unit.
Connecting the wastewater system
Proceed as follows to connect the drain/overflow to the wastewater system:
Requirements:
