INSTALLATION
WONDERCAP RETRO KIT
For post-concrete pour installations and renovations
THE WONDERCAP
For installation into floor & shower waste risers or existing puddle flanges
LINEAR DRAIN USING WONDERCAP
For the entire Wondercap Range
Retro Kit Installation Steps
- Grind a 3mm deep x 50mm wide recess around the drainage pipe for best results.
- Cut the drainage pipe to slab level.
- Clean, prime and solvent weld the flange (1) tail into the drainage pipe.
- If required, the retro flange (1) can be screwed into place with green plugs and counter-sunk screws.
- Clean and prepare the surface ready for waterproofing and remove base (2) from flange (1) and set aside.
- Apply the waterproofing membrane as per manufacturer’s instructions and requirements.
- Apply the waterproofing membrane to as required to wet areas. Finish the waterproofing membrane up to the dotted line indicated on the flange (1). WARNING: DO NOT APPLY THE WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE DOWN DRAINAGE PIPE
- Reinsert the base (2) into position once the waterproofing has been completed.
- Raise the base to the desired tile height and secure into position with bedding mix.
- Screed and tile using the Wondercap base (2) as a reference point / gradient. Simply screed up to base (2)
- Apply grout and remove the cap (3) from the base (2). Step 12. PRO TIP! – if you have not allowed for the tile thickness, continue tiling to the floor waste. The tiles will finish 10mm above the top of the base & cap. Remove the cap and simply cut the internal edge of the cap to the height required and insert the spacer ring into the base to support the tile grate and finish flush with the tiles.
- Install the grate and secure with grout
Wondercap Kit Installation Steps
- Cut drainage riser so that the Wondercap flange (1) is 10mm below the desired slab level – allow for a positive fall to shower and floor wastes. Note: Allow 60mm below the top of the Wondercap flange (1) to the pipe riser.
- Clean, prime and solvent weld the flange tail to the drainage pipe.
- Ensure the foam ring is around base (2) and set in the flange (1) prior to concrete slab pour. Step 3. PRO TIP! - The Wondercap Kit can be used as a reference point / gradient for trowelling to suit the grade required in wet areas.
- Pour concrete slab and screed a smooth fall to the Wondercap.
- Clean the top of the flange (1) with a damp sponge for waterproofing membrane adherence.
- Clean and prepare the surface ready for waterproofing and remove the base (2) and foam ring from the flange (1) and set aside
- Apply the waterproofing membrane as per manufacturer’s instructions and requirements
- Clean and prepare the surface ready for waterproofing and remove the base (2) and foam ring from the flange (1) and set aside. Step 8. WARNING: DO NOT APPLY WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE DOWN DRAINAGE PIPE.
