Our VL Strip Grates are easy to install. They come with a complete kit for easy installation, including ABS glue and all necessary components for quick and hassle-free on-site assembly. No extra parts are required. Simply follow this step-by-step guide.
Place the collection channel so it accommodates the combined thickness of the tile substrate plus the tile (see cross-section).
Snap off and remove the vertical upstand from the collection channel and end stops if not installing against a wall.
Trim the collection channel as needed( using a drop saw), allowing space for end stops and joiners.
Install one spigot per showerhead along the collection channel. Start by ensuring the spigot aligns with the puddle flange or 50mm DWV pipe. Next, mark and drill a 40mm hole for the spigot. Remove burrs from the holes and cuts for a clean fit.
Glue the spigot onto the collection channel using Weld-On ABS adhesive. (Each VL Series kit comes with Weld-On ABS interference glue, specifically chosen for strong, watertight bonding of the ABS collection channel components to make on-site assembly simple, secure, and reliable.)
Glue end caps to the collection channel using Weld-on ABS adhesive. Test the assembly for leaks before installation.
Make sure the installation complies with AS 3500.2 plumbing standards.
Confirm the top of the collection channel flange is level with the tile substrate.
Apply waterproofing over the collection channel flange and ensure that the tile substrate has adequate fall toward the drain to allow proper water flow.
All waterproofing must comply with AS 3740 (the Australian Standard for waterproofing wet areas within residential buildings).
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your chosen waterproofing membrane to ensure full adhesion and long-term performance.
Use a non-poise ABS or PVC primer on the waterproofing flange that is compatible with your chosen waterproofing system. This ensures a proper bond and a watertight seal.
Ensure the finished tile edge is flush with the inside edge of the collection channel. Do not let the tile overhang the channel.
After tiling is complete, select the appropriate grate height spacers to match your tile height: 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, or 18mm. This ensures a flush finish with the surface of your tiles.
Distribute the spacers evenly along the collection channel to fully support the grate.
Secure each spacer using Weld-On ABS adhesive for a long-lasting hold.
Trim the grate using a bandsaw to the required length for your installation.
Make sure you do not leave burrs or sharp edges on the cut ends. Use a fine file to remove all burrs and smooth the edges before final placement.
