Fully automated Filling of the BathtubThe fully electronically controlled Multiplex Trio E fittings regulate the water temperature, filling volume and filling depth via a multi-functional con-trol unit. A light ring constantly shows the chosen settings. The water flow is stopped automatically – by an integrated memory function, which stores individual settings. Watching the bathtub as it fills up is no longer necessary.

Multiplex Trio E3: With Display and Control Element (fig. 1)The display element allows intuitive con-trol. Alongside individual pre-settings, it shows the current water temperature and the water flow volume. In addition, when touched lightly, it shows a user menu, which shows the additional available functions related to filling the bathtub. The selection of the tempera-ture and the on-off function are united in one chrome-plated control element.

Multiplex Trio E2: With two Control Units (fig. 2)Filling the bathtub takes place using two control elements. In this case, one also controls the on-off function and controls the water temperature. Another regulates the water flow volume as well as the switchover to the hand shower.

Multiplex Trio E: With all of the Functions in one Control Element (fig.3)One button for everything: All of the functions can be controlled from one element.

Multiplex Trio E3 Control ElementsThe rotatable display element with a glass surface and the element made completely of chrome ensure intuitive handling. That makes Multiplex Trio E3 especially attractive for use in semi-public buildings (hotels or medical uses).

Multiplex Trio E Control ElementEverything concentrates itself reservedly on one central control element. Information about the water temperature and the flow volume can be seen on the lightring.

Multiplex Trio E mixer unitFor flexible assembly, even in tighter installation situations.

Simple assembly, freedom of scopeOf course, the three product models of the Multiplex E series can be combined with all manual and electronic outlet and overflow fittings of the Multiplex and Rotaplex ranges. You are even free when it comes to deciding on the posi-tioning of the control unit – be it in the bathtub rim, in its own stand or on the wall: whatever you like is good. For this reason, there is an additional assembly set available for assembly outside the tub, consisting of an installation socket, fastening material, sealing collar and chrome-plated cover rosette. All of the technology can be placed freely and out of sight. It remains accessible via a revision duct.

Bathtub Rim InstallationThe entire Multiplex Trio E technology can be freely positioned – anywhere where it cannot be seen. A revision duct enables free access and with it trouble-free maintenance. Further installation variations are described in the instruction for use.

Drainage Technology for Bathtubs Filling from the Floor

Multiplex Trio F and Rotaplex Trio FThis new method of filling the bathtub in the form of a star-shaped inflow from the floor is almost silent. According to a measurement from the Fraunhöfer Institute in Stuttgart, the sound level of the Rotaplex Trio F is only half that of a stand-ard fitting. Further advantages are the space-saving con-struction height of only 110 mm as well as a clear separation of the in- and outlet due to the different heights. A backflow preventer makes sure that no waste reaches the drinking water system. Further protection is provided by the DVGW certified concealed pipe interrupter, which is included in the scope of delivery. Both fittings can be combined with the Viega Visign fitting sets M1, M2, M3 and M4.

Tried-and-Tested a Million TimesThere are many reasons for the huge success of Viega odour traps. Their high drainage capacity is above the norm. Their effective internal workings allow for outstanding self-cleaning. And: the drainage elbow of the trap is screwed directly onto the drain valve without the need for an additional ad-justing pipe, which saves space.

Material and VariationsThe Viega odour traps are made of high-quality, environmentally-compatible poly-propylene. It is resistant to waste water and to all normal household cleaners which makes Viega odour traps espe-cially durable. Internally, the material also provides smooth sufaces. Viega odour traps are available as concealed.

Height-adjustableViega odour traps are perfectly thought out. They are easy to fit, space-saving and offer a particularly intelligent func-tion: they can be adjusted by 50 mm in height during final installation.

Pre-wall Odour TrapAdjustable by 50 mm, suitable for the new, compacter shapes of half-column ceramic. In combi-nation with furniture washbasins, it creates additional storage space. Even this solution does not require any additional adjustable pipe.

Concealed Odour TrapAdjustable by up to 50 mm, barrier-free and allow a wheelchair to fit below them. No additional adjustable pipe in the way, the space available under the washbasin increases noticeably. The odour trap is removable, the corresponding cover plate (195 x 110 mm) can either be ordered in the finishes chrome-plated or white. The chrome-plated version has a conical seal, which is pushed centrally below the valve during assembly and therefore prevents displacement of the seal.

Shortened with millimetre precision from 30 to 120 cmViega Advantix Vario is the first shower channel that can be shortened to any length. It can be shortened exactly to the required length and be installed against the wall or anywhere in the room. This allows one to react to all demands of the construction situation.

Simple, quick assembly Secure sealing concept Attractive, reserved design Reduced stock Height-adjustable grate Variable construction heights Self-cleaning drain Comprehensive accessories

Design variations: With or without rails Standing grate and panel, matt or shiny

Simple, quick Assembly (fig. 1)Step 1: Shorten the channel base unit using a hacksaw and a saw guide, deburr the cut edges, attach the protective caps and screw on. Step 2: Determine the construction height, shorten the height-adjustment piece and mount the drain set and support feet. Step 3: Align the shower channel, connect to the drain pipe and fasten the feet. Finished.

Secure Sealing Concept (fig. 2)A durable and practicable seal is the most important feature of a floor-level shower. All of the materials required such as special adhesive and sealing strip are included in the scope of delivery.

Height-adjustable Grate (fig. 3)By using adjustable support holders, the grate can be adjusted to height different tile heights from 5 to 20 mm. If thicker floor coverings are used, such as natural stone, the standing grate can be adjusted with the assistance of an ac-cessory set from 15 to 30 mm.

Variable Installation Height (fig. 4)The installation height of the Advantix Vario is between 90 and 165 mm. Even in the flattest installation condition, the height difference of the drain support to the ground is 25 mm. It is therefore possible to fulfil the standard slope of 2.5 m connection pipe without having to lift

the shower channel. Depending on the installation, the drainage capacity is

between 0.4 and 0.8 l/s.

Reduced Warehousing (fig. 5)With Advantix Vario, the right length is always in stock. Specially produced products are a thing of the past. Only one basic unit and two grate models for all of the solutions optimise the logis-tics noticeably. The universal

channel requires very little room, thus freeing up some storage space.

The Advantages of Bonded Sealing TechnologySince the protection of the structure from moisture penetration is the topmost priority, bonded sealing technology is used increasingly for floor-level showers. The advantages: the seal between the floor screed and tiles prevents the floor screed from being penetrated by mois-ture. The use of bonded sealing tech-nology saves any additional seals through bitumen or plastic channels.

Sealing concept with all accessories includedSo as to ensure the seal is permanently leak proof and can be properly carried out by the tiler, the Advantix special sealing strip and special adhesive are included in the scope of delivery. After removing the site protection foil from the channel flange, the adhesive is applied using a special trowel. The sealing strip is worked into the special adhesive or the bonded sealant. With this the cross-over area between the channel and the screed is securely connected. The sec-ond layer of liquid foil completes the sealing process. After tiling, the hard foam block can be removed and the designer grate can be inserted.

Assembly in the Open Room Shower Channel Vario

1 Measuring the required length and placing of the saw guide in the appropriate position on the channel basic unit.

2 Shortening of the channel basic unit using a hacksaw and the saw guide.

3 After deburring the cut edges, apply lubri-cation to the flange area of the shower channel, place the caps onto the channel and screw tight.

4 Determination of the construction height and shortening of the height-adjustment piece as well as the assembly of the drain set and support feet. Then adjust the shower channel using the adjustable feet.

5 Application of the adhesive and sealing strip, working-in of the sealing strip into the liquid seal.

6 The perfect result: The height-adjustable standing grate, which is only 4 mm wide, integrates harmoniously into a tile gap that is only 20 mm wide.

Top in all CategoriesThe trend towards floor-level showers in connection with constantly lower floor heights has led to the demand for floor drains with the features “more drainage capacity, flatter, more secure”. Altogether characteristics that were previously difficult to combine. Viega now offers the suitable solution: Advantix Top!

High Drainage CapacityShower channels with Advantix Top reach a very high drainage capacity thanks to an optimisation of flow re-sistance as well as a generous con-struction shape.

Variable due to height-adjustable FloorThe Advantix shower channels can be adjusted on site to fit in with any floor height above 90 mm. By shortening or selection of the immersion pipe, de-pending on the model, the water seal head is adapted to the construction height with 35, 40 or 50 mm.

Backflow SecureIn the case of underpressure in the pip-ing system, a functional principle de-veloped in-house ensures that the water seal in the drain is sufficient, thus pro-tecting against annoying odours. This is even possible with a water seal height of 35 mm in flat floor construction! Therefore, even with such a minimal water seal height, the requirements of DIN EN 1253 are fulfilled.

Simple CleaningTo clean the drain casing, one only needs to remove the immersion pipe. Even the extended connection pipe can be cleaned using a coil.

In the normal operating condition, the water seal level is 35, 40 or 50 mm.

1 Adjustable installation and water seal height via treble height adaption of the floor part. Depending on the installation height, the drainage capacity is up to 1.0 l/s for shower channels and up to 1.2 l/s for point drains.

2 Arrow markings on the drain floor for simple determination of the draining direction when cleaning.

3 By shortening the immersion pipe, a high drainage capacity is realised at the maximum water seal height.

4 Backflow secure due to water seal barrier with central throughflow opening and lateral retaining pockets.

Flat actual Construction Height, 2 m Slope includedTo enable the installation height to be kept as low as possible, the drain supports have been placed at the upper edge of the drain unit. Even the in the flattest installation situation, the height difference to the rough concrete of the floor is still 20 mm. Therefore a pipe up to two metres long can be installed without having to raise the drain.

The Functional Principle

If there is underpressure in the system, only a fraction of the sealing water is removed along with the air required due to the retaining pockets.

Therefore, there is always enough water in the drain to act as an odour trap.

Viega Shower ChannelsViega Advantix shower channels are available in two variations: with adjust-able stainless steel grate frames and as a frameless basic variation. Both are height-adjustable and can be combined with all Visign grates for Advantix show-er channels. Their maximum drainage capacity is 1.0 l/s, the seal water head is 35, 40 or 50 mm.

Advantix Shower ChannelsThe framed variation of the Advantix shower channels connects design de-mands with increased assembly com-fort. The stainless steel frame is later-ally adjustable and via distance pieces also height-adjustable. It also allows exact alignment in the tile pattern. Ad-justable feet and sealing accessories can be ordered separately if required.

Advantix Basic Shower ChannelsThe economical frameless basic varia-tion of the Advantix shower channels emphasizes the used Visign grate, which fits in perfectly with the tile pat-tern. The sand coated flange provides optimal grip for all common sealing materials. Sealing accessories can be ordered separately.

Wall Mounting Advantix Basic Shower Channel

1 Adjust the shower channel with help of the continuously ad-justable screw feet.

2 Application of the Schlüter-Kerdi seal-ing tape in the liquid bonding sealant.

3 Tiling with or with-out floor covering edging rails up to the edge of the EPS hard foam block.

4 The perfect result: The frameless Ad-vantix Basic shower channel with Visign grate. Exactly built-in in a few steps.

Floor Mounting Advantix Shower Channel

1 Adjust the shower channel with help of the continuously ad-justable screw feet.

2 Insert the shower channel into the bonded sealant with the sealing accesso-ries.

3 Adjust the height-adjusted grate frame from the middle by up to 5 mm. Then tile up to the frame.

4 The perfect result: The Advantix shower channel with Visign grate.

Double Reliability during FittingBecause when sealing the main con-cern is the safe transition between the drainage area and floor screed, Viega counts on double reliability. Firstly, the special fitting of the flange anchors the drain securely into the floor screed. Secondly, the sealant collar provided with the fitting makes the transitional zone more secure. It is fitted directly into the liquid seal by the tiler.

Various Advantix Add-On ElementsViega offers the right solution for many areas of use. For commercial areas with high load strain or for outside, for example, add-on elements made of polymer concrete with cast steel grates and additional fibreglass matting, which are particularly stable and se-cure. Add on elements or entire drains made of plastic with their flat structure are meant for installation in floor con-structions in private housing, whilst the ultra-flat drains are intended for use in refurbishments with low floor heights.

Installation in Bonded Sealing Technology Example: Advantix Top

1 Measure the floor construction height, here: 85 mm.

2 Adjust the height-adjustable floor of the Advantix Top to the site conditions.

3 Choose one of the three immersion pipes included in the scope of delivery, here: the shortest model is used.

4 Position the drain and sound insulation and adjust it with millimetre precision using the height-adjustable mounting feet.

5 Application of the first layer of liquid foil.

6 Working in the Schlüter-Kerdi sealing collar into the liquid foil.

7 Application of the second layer of liquid foil.

8 The perfect result: the Advantix Top floor drain with a construction height of only 85 mm fitted in only a few steps.

Areas of Application for Conventional SealingEven with so-called conventional tech-nology, building components such as ceilings, floors and even insulation can be permanently protected from mois-ture. The sealant channels made of bitu-men or EPDM used for this procedure are applied directly to the unfinished concrete or thermal insulation. This tech-nique has proven itself particularly in the sealing procedure for balconies, terraces, floor panels and cellar floors. In addition, conventional sealant chan-nels can also be used as an additional second sealant level in a sealing pro-cedure carried out with bonded water-proofing technology.

Processing VariationsViega drains can be incorporated with a clamping ring and a sealing collar either in bitumen or EPDM channels – without risk of damaging the drainage structure during welding or adhesive work. The fully developed technology of the Viega components guarantees safe transition between drain and sealing channel – ir-respective of which processing variation is used.

The Fitting of Conventional Sealing:

1 The double-sided sealing collar (EPDM layer above, bitumen layer below) is laid over the drain and screwed on with the flange ring.

2 Connection to a bitumen ceiling duct: ceiling duct is welded (open flame) and con-nected using subsequent treading down.

1 Conventional sealing – as described in the assembly steps on the right.

3 Connection to a pure EPDM lane: EPDM duct is welded using a hot air gun and then connected by rolling with the sealing collar. Priming is no longer required.

Fire Protection Technology by ViegaViega Advantix fire protection products R 120 are designed using state-of-the-art technology with a tested fire resist-ance of up to 120 minutes in order to prevent fire and smoke from spreading through the ceiling. In the case of a fire, a conventional drain made of plastic will melt within just a few minutes and then there is an open connection between two storeys. For this reason, Advantix fire protection products have an integrated fire protection element. This element has an intumescent mass which com-pletely swells up at temperatures above 150 °C and completely seals off the free profiles in the area of the ceiling duct.

Special Solution by Viega: The R 120 Pipe Duct (fig. 1)For fire-proof ceiling lead-in of shower tray drains or horizontal bath or floor drains, Viega offers a special solution: the R 120 pipe lead-in. This makes it possible to install a horizontal drain at a later point in time. So it can be posi-tioned exactly under the shower or in the tiling pattern.

Sound Insulation from ViegaFloor drains take a subordinate noise technical function because the water only has a short drop into the casing and settles in the odour trap. However, as part of the drainage system, they are subject to the conditions of DIN4109/A1 and as horizontal floor drains should always be installed directly on footfall insulation or in the case of installation in rough concrete be acoustically de-coupled via a 2 to 3 mm thick mineral fibre layer. The Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics confirms the use in rooms requiring protection in accord-ance with DIN 4109 and VDI 4100 for many Advantix floor drains and shower trays.

1 The installation of the fire protection drain R 120 is completed in a few steps. After boring, a second borehole is created – approx. 20 mm deep in the ceiling. The concrete edge is chipped off.

2 Then: apply mortar to the chipped ring and insert the pre-assembled fire protection drain.

3 The flange must be flush to the ceiling. The spring fastener fixes the component. Then, fill the assembled drain with water and attach the protective cover.Finished!

The Functioning of the Fire Protection Drain:

After 4 minutes, approx. 460 °C: the plastic pipe becomes malleable

After 8 minutes, approx. 625 °C: the pipe is melted; the swelling mass fills the entire borehole

After 25 minutes, approx. 800 °C: borehole and connection are completely sealed. The water trap remains largely in tact

In-Pipe TechnologyThe fire protection drain and the pipe lead-in can also be fitted using in-pipe technology. To do this, a PP or PVC pipe is cast during cut-out, in which the drain is later inserted – like a borehole. In the case of a fire, the swelling mass also fills out the slit which develops as a result of the melting pipe.
