4. Setup and Installation

This section outlines the steps for installing the Cornat DR65070 Shower Drain. Professional installation is recommended.

4.1 Required Tools and Materials (Not Included):

• Flexible tile adhesive
• Liquid film (sealing paint)
• Permanently elastic sealing compounds (silicone)
• Standard plumbing tools (e.g., pipe cutter, level, measuring tape)

4.2 Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the subfloor is clean, level, and prepared for waterproofing. Determine the exact position of the drain according to your shower design.
2. Connect Drainage Pipe: Connect the drain's outlet (Ø 50/40 mm) to your existing wastewater pipe system. Ensure a proper slope for efficient drainage.
3. Set Installation Height: Adjust the drain body to the required installation height of 120 – 140 mm using the provided leveling feet. Ensure the top edge of the drain frame is flush with the finished floor level, accounting for tile thickness.
4. Waterproofing: Apply liquid film (sealing paint) around the drain body and across the entire shower area to create a waterproof membrane. Ensure the sealant provided with the kit is properly applied around the drain flange to create a watertight seal with the waterproofing layer.
5. Tile Installation: Install tiles around the drain, using flexible tile adhesive. Ensure proper slope towards the drain for effective water flow. The width of the cover is 70 mm, so plan tile cuts accordingly.
6. Install Odor Trap and Cover: Insert the pre-fit odor trap into the drain body. Place the stainless steel cover/grate into the installation frame.
7. Seal Edges: Apply permanently elastic sealing compounds (silicone) along the edges where the drain meets the tiles to prevent water ingress.
8. Test Drainage: After all materials have cured, perform a water test to ensure proper drainage and no leaks.
