Linear shower drain SLEEK 90 cm

Product detailed description

Linear shower drains are essential components in wet room and en-suite bathroom designs, ensuring effective water management and preventing pooling. Installers often encounter these systems in residential and commercial settings where floor-level showers or open-concept bathing areas are required. The SLEEK model is intended for integration into tiled surfaces, with a focus on hygienic performance and long-term durability. The installation involves cutting the floor to accommodate the channel, securing the unit with sealing compounds, and connecting it to the building’s waste system. Proper alignment and slope are critical to ensure water flows efficiently towards the drain.

Before installation, the site must be prepared to allow for the correct depth of the channel and the inclusion of the 2 cm flange around the perimeter. The installation depth of 52 mm must be considered when planning the floor structure to avoid protrusions or uneven surfaces. The drain is designed to handle standard flow rates, making it suitable for most domestic applications. It is important to ensure that the waste line is correctly dimensioned and sloped to prevent blockages or slow drainage.

The technical parameters of the SLEEK 90 cm model define its suitability for specific installations. The 40 mm siphon allows for vertical connection to the building’s waste system, while the 50/40 mm reducer ensures compatibility with standard drainage piping. The siphon’s capacity of 30 l/min supports efficient water removal, making it appropriate for medium-sized shower areas. The 1.2 mm base thickness and 1.5 mm cover provide structural integrity and resistance to mechanical stress. These parameters should be reviewed during the planning phase to confirm compatibility with the overall system design.

Installation and connection

The installation process begins with marking and cutting the floor to the required size and depth. The drain must be placed in position, with the 2 cm flange ensuring a secure fit against the surrounding surface. Leveling feet are included to adjust the height and ensure even contact with the floor. Once positioned, the drain is sealed using appropriate waterproofing compound. The 40 mm siphon is connected to the upper end, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance. A 50/40 mm reducer is provided to link the drain to the building’s waste pipe. It is important to verify that the slope of the drain channel directs water toward the siphon and that all connections are watertight to prevent leakage. Common mistakes include incorrect alignment, insufficient sealing, or failure to account for the installation depth, which can lead to poor performance or structural damage.

Compatibility and accessories

The SLEEK 90 cm drain is compatible with standard 40 mm diameter waste lines and can be connected using the included 50/40 mm reducer. The siphon is designed for top access, facilitating cleaning and inspection without the need to remove the entire unit. Additional components such as sealing compounds and waterproofing membranes are typically required for a complete installation. The drain is intended for use in conjunction with tile or stone flooring, and the sound-dampening distance cushions help reduce noise from falling water. No specific related products are mentioned in the brief, but standard plumbing fittings and sealing materials should be considered when planning the installation.

Technical background for designers

The SLEEK model operates on a simple gravity-fed principle, where water flows along the sloped channel toward the siphon and into the waste system. The AISI 304 stainless steel construction ensures corrosion resistance and long-term durability, making it suitable for environments with high humidity. The siphon mechanism prevents backflow and maintains a seal between the drain and the waste line. The thickness of the base and cover contributes to the structural stability of the unit, while the sound-dampening cushions reduce noise from water impact. The overall design is intended for integration into modern wet room layouts, with a focus on minimal visibility and hygienic performance. The efficiency of the system is influenced by the slope of the channel, the condition of the siphon, and the integrity of the connections to the building’s drainage network.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the siphon and connections is recommended to ensure continued performance. The siphon can be cleaned from the top, allowing for routine maintenance without the need for disassembly. Any signs of leakage, blockage, or wear should be addressed promptly to prevent damage to the surrounding area. The stainless steel construction requires no special cleaning agents, but it is advisable to avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. There are no specified service intervals in the brief, but periodic checks are generally good practice in high-use environments.
