sides touching the wall and from around the siphon (Note: The remaining protective folio on the shower tray should be removed only alter the
installation of the shower tray and all other construction work in the bathroom are completed).
2- Remove the protective folio around the siphon.
3- Make the siphon connection. Seat the shower tray in the installation area.
Note: If the siphon outlet connection is to be made with a long flexible hose, before installing the siphon it should be installed on the shower tray. The
flexible hose is installed to the siphon outlet pipe at the muff side. The other end of the flexible hose is connected to the muff of the waste water
outlet in such a way to provide leak-proof ness and it is tested for leak-proof ness.
4- Apply silicone between the shower tray and the floor tiles to ensure leak-proof ness.
5- Apply silicone between the shower tray and the wall to ensure leak-proof ness.
6- Additional edge lath application can be carried out if required. However isolation between wall and shower tray must be ensured before the
application of edge lath. The edge lath is installed by applying silicone along the length of both surfaces of the edge lath which will come into
contact with the shower tray and the wall.

the construction works in the bathroom are finished.

of cement and humid sand up to the flooring level without covering the siphon. (The purpose of this application is to fill with cement and sand
mixture in order to prevent any flexing of the shower tray.)

shower tray installation and other construction works in the bathroom are finished).
