The vertical connection to the main drainage pipe and the installation of the inlets above the floor slab require only a single penetration of the floor structure. When routing the supply lines above the floor slab, the top edge is always identical to the top edge of the floor slab. This means that the waterproof flange, which is mounted without any tools, is always positioned correctly in the middle. The backwater unit is easily accessible for disassembly and maintenance. This and the vertical pipe routing provide free access for drain cleaning.
The installation procedure allows for a clear separation of the trades between the building shell and the interior finishes. This means security in the event of a warranty claim.
The drain body of the Universale Plus basement drain has a vertical outlet and an integrated backwater valve. The advantage of this new design: Both the backwater unit and the inlet to the main drainage pipe are no longer installed deep under the floor slab, making them easily and completely accessible. In combination with a clear pipe cross-section, maintenance and cleaning work on the main drainage pipe are made considerably easier.
Another new feature of the Universale Plus is its innovative extension section, in which three inlets are integrated. Using this method, for the first time, the inlets are above the floor slab. Thus two advantages go hand-in-hand: On the one hand, the floor slab now only has to be penetrated once — on the other hand, clear separation of the building shell and interior finishing trades is possible.
