4. Operation
The Geberit CleanLine80 Shower Channel operates by efficiently collecting and draining water from the shower area. Water is directed into the channel and then evacuated through the integrated drainage system. The design ensures water drainage occurs both above the composite sealing layer and, when the sealing collar is properly installed, above the finished floor level.
