Installation Instructions:

Tips & Tricks:

• Always read the waterproofing manufacturer's requirements prior to installation.

• Product Material: The puddle flange is made from durable ABS plastic.

• Primer Required: A non-porous primer is required to prime the cleaned surface area as needed.

• Test Plugs: Lightweight test plugs are available for easy installation when ordering our products from your local supplier.

• Test Plug Installation: Remove the base and insert the test plug into the mouth of the puddle flange to prevent bedding from entering the drain.

• Waterproofing & Bedding: Install the tile bedding layer of waterproofing and bonding strips across the puddle flange and into the rebate. Allow the waterproofing membrane to completely dry.

• Review Videos: Before starting, review our video page or scan the QR code to download and view the professionally installed waterproofing membrane.

Required Information:

• Review the waterproofing manufacturer's requirements for water testing the shower membrane area, especially concerning curing time for the membrane product you're installing.

Installation Steps:

• Set up the Base & Cap: Position the base and cap to the required level for the bedding datum.

  Note: The NCC requirement for shower bedding is a 1:80 grade towards the drain. This is mandatory!

• Bedding Thickness: The recommended bedding thickness is a minimum of 30mm depth, finishing flush with the top of the puddle flange.

• Bedding Installation: Install the bedding and pack the sand and cement under the flange, ensuring the bedding finishes flush with the puddle flange.

• Drying: Allow the bedding to completely dry prior to waterproofing.

• Waterproofing Coats:

  • Apply the first coat of waterproofing and allow it to completely dry before applying the second coat.

  • Apply the second coat of waterproofing and allow it to dry thoroughly.

Note: The NCC highly recommends water testing of the waterproofing membrane, but it is not mandatory!

Benefits:

• The test plug is easily inserted into the mouth of the puddle flange and can be used for water testing to ensure the waterproofing membrane is watertight.

• When conducting a water test, remember to record and date the results for your records.

• Review water testing procedures by scanning the QR code for additional video guidance.

Final Installation Steps:

• Insert the Base & Cap: Raise the base and cap to the required finishing bedding height or grate height.

• Hold in Position: The base and cap should be held in place with a damp bedding mix under the edge of the grate adapter, base, and cap.

• Fill the Gap: Install the bedding mix to fill the gap between the grate, base, and cap, ensuring the bedding is level with the finished height.

Additional Tips & Tricks:

• The base and cap can be raised to suit the finished height and can be packed into place using sand and bedding.

• If the grate ends up lower than the finished tile height, the push-in cap lip can be cut down and used as a spacer ring to support the finished height of the grate.
