Linear shower drain SLIM 100 cm ROUND BAR

Product detailed description

Linear shower drains are essential components in modern bathroom and wetroom designs, ensuring effective water removal from shower areas. This model is typically installed in tiled or sealed flooring systems where a low-profile, hygienic drainage solution is required. The 100 cm length is commonly used in medium to large shower enclosures, allowing for even water distribution and efficient flow. The adjustable cover accommodates variations in floor thickness and finishing layers, ensuring a flush fit with the final surface. The 55 mm installation depth is suitable for most standard bathroom construction methods.

With a 2 cm perimeter collar, the drain integrates seamlessly into the surrounding floor structure, preventing water from bypassing the channel. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and long-term durability in wet environments. The design is particularly suitable for installations where a clean, minimalist aesthetic is required, as the drain remains nearly invisible once finished with tiles or other surface materials.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation begins with marking the position of the drain in the floor plan, ensuring alignment with the shower area and the drainage system. A recess must be cut into the subfloor to accommodate the 55 mm installation depth. The drain is then placed into the recess, and the adjustable cover is set to the required height based on the final floor thickness. The perimeter collar should be checked for even contact with the surrounding floor structure to prevent water bypass. Common installation mistakes include incorrect depth measurements and failure to adjust the cover height before tiling, which can lead to an uneven surface or poor water flow.

Compatibility and accessories

This linear drain is compatible with standard drainage systems and can be connected to existing waste lines using standard plumbing fittings. No additional accessories are required for basic installation, though sealing compounds or waterproofing membranes may be needed depending on the construction method. The drain is designed for use with standard tiles or sealed flooring materials. No related products are required for this model.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle of this linear drain is based on gravity-fed water flow through the stainless steel channel. The 1.2 mm thickness provides sufficient structural strength while maintaining a low profile. Stainless steel is chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning, making it ideal for wet environments. The drain integrates into the overall drainage system by directing water from the shower area to the main waste line. The service life and efficiency are influenced by the quality of the installation, particularly the alignment with the drainage system and the integrity of the surrounding waterproofing layers.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the drain is recommended to ensure that the channel remains free of debris and that the cover remains flush with the floor surface. The perimeter collar should be checked for signs of wear or damage that could compromise water flow. No specific service intervals are provided, but routine cleaning with a mild detergent is advised to maintain performance and appearance. Any blockages should be cleared using a standard drain rod or similar tool.

Frequently asked questions

Can this drain be used in a tiled shower floor?
Yes, the 55 mm installation depth and adjustable cover make it suitable for tiled installations. The drain should be set before tiling to ensure a flush finish.

Is the stainless steel channel resistant to corrosion?
Yes, the stainless steel material provides good resistance to corrosion in wet environments, making it suitable for long-term use in bathrooms and wetrooms.

What is the minimum slope required for proper water flow?
According to the manufacturer's technical data sheet, the slope should be sufficient to ensure continuous water flow towards the drain. Specific values are not provided in the brief.

Can the drain be adjusted after tiling?
No, the adjustable cover must be set to the correct height before tiling. Once the floor is finished, the cover cannot be adjusted without damaging the surface.
