ENGLISH
The Plancofix can also be installed in front of, or adjacent to,
the shower. In this case, the shower is connected to one of the
inlet connections at the side with a DN50 pipe socket.
To reduce odours, please fit the rubber flap (Plancofix plus)
provided.
NOTICE!
If it is installed outside the shower, the tileable cover
must be used. If the drain cover is used, a slight discharge of
water is possible.
Inserting the tank
NOTICE!
The protective covers at the side and the top must be
fitted to the Plancofix.
1. Screw on the four feet.
2.
Adjust the feet until the Plancofix is level and is standing in
the recess at the appropriate height.
3. To reduce the transmission of sounds to a minimum, the
protective cover at the side of the tank must remain in
place.
4. The following materials are approved for the pressure pipe:
PVC (DIN 8062), PE-HD (DIN 8074) and PP (DIN 8077).
Notice!
When the pressure pipe is connected to the pres-
sure outlet, do not seal the connection with hemp but wind
not more than 6 layers of Teflon tape around the outlet.
Acoustically isolate the pressure pipe, connect it to the
pressure outlet with a 1" female thread and route it to the
nearest downpipe.
Notice!
Tighten the fitting carefully to avoid damaging the
pressure outlet.
5. If the pressure pipe is laid horizontally, the hand-over point
to the downpipe must lie 25 cm higher than the Plancofix.
In the highest point, the pressure pipe must be extended to
avoid a suction lifter.
Functional test
A functional test must be carried out before laying the screed.
Motor noises on starting up are not a cause for concern as they
are normal in synchronous motors.
Fill water in from above through the floor drain and get the
Plancofix to pump out several times.
The full water capacity
must be pumped!
Also check for leaks in the inlet and pressure pipe. Later
changes can only be made with a considerable effort.
Laying the screed
NOTICE!
The Plancofix must be weighted down to keep it in po
-
sition during application of the screed.
The entire area can now be filled with screed.
After the screed has set, the enclosed square seal is bonded to
the integrated sealing strip. After the customer has attached a
further thinbed waterproofing system, the area can be tiled.
