For standard floor waste installations requiring a reliable, low-profile drainage connection, the 100mm Square Megaflex Stick Down Floor Waste combines a robust brass grate with a specialized ABS flange system to ensure a secure, flush-fitting finish.
This floor waste assembly features a solid brass grate finished in chrome for long-term wear resistance in wet areas. The integrated ABS Megaflex flange allows for a low-profile installation, helping installers achieve a neat, flat finish with the surrounding floor surface. The unit is designed with a direct 100mm outlet connection to match standard drainage pipework.
Installation requires applying a waterproofing membrane, bonding the ABS Megaflex flange to the prepared substrate, and then connecting the 100mm outlet to the plumbing. Proper alignment and a secure seal are critical for preventing leaks.
Yes, the solid brass grate is corrosion resistant. This ensures long-term performance and durability, even in high-moisture commercial or industrial settings.
The Megaflex floor waste is compatible with tiled, vinyl, and screeded surfaces. The key is to ensure the waterproofing membrane is correctly sealed and integrated with the ABS flange to prevent water pooling or ingress.
Water pooling typically indicates an issue with the membrane adhesion or flange sealing. Inspect the flange for full contact with the surface and ensure the membrane is properly adhered. Reseal if necessary to maintain watertight integrity.
| Application | Key benefit | Primary trades |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial bathroom and shower drainage | Handles high water volumes effectively with its 100mm outlet, preventing pooling and ensuring rapid discharge. | Plumbers, Builders, Waterproofers |
| Industrial kitchens and wet areas | Provides reliable, long-term performance due to its solid brass grate and robust ABS flange, resisting corrosion in demanding conditions. | Plumbers, Builders, Commercial Fit-out Teams |
| Laundry facilities with large floor waste requirements | Offers a low-profile, stick-down installation that directly integrates with waterproofing membranes, reducing membrane delamination risk. | Plumbers, Tilers, Waterproofers |
Wear safety glasses to protect eyes and gloves for hand protection during handling and installation.
Ensure adequate ventilation in the workspace when applying adhesives or waterproofing membranes during installation.
Handle the ABS flange carefully to prevent warping or damage before installation. Damage to the flange can compromise the seal.
Proper substrate preparation is essential for the Megaflex flange to bond securely with the waterproofing membrane, ensuring a watertight installation.
Surface prep: Ensure the screed is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Any loose material must be removed to provide a sound bonding surface.
Primer: Required. A suitable bonding primer must be applied to the cement screed before membrane and flange installation to ensure secure adhesion.
Surface prep: The substrate beneath the tiles, typically a waterproofed surface, must be clean, level, and cured according to membrane manufacturer instructions.
Primer: Not required. The floor waste integrates directly with the waterproofing membrane, which should already be primed or compatible with the substrate.
Surface prep: The underlying substrate must be clean, dry, smooth, and free of defects. Ensure any existing waterproofing is intact and suitable for bonding.
Primer: Not required. The integrity of the waterproofing membrane seal around the flange is the critical factor for vinyl installations.
