Why Choose 80mm Square Megaflex Stick Down Floor Waste
Use 80mm Square Megaflex Stick Down Floor Waste for high-stakes wet area drainage where a bonded, low-profile penetration must resist water bypass and membrane delamination.
80mm Square Megaflex Stick Down Floor Waste Common Uses
This system is specified where a reliable, low-profile drainage solution is required in wet areas subject to movement and standing water.
- Vinyl flooring installations requiring a secure seal with flexible membrane and compatibility with the 80mm outlet configuration.
- Thin-bed tiling renovations in confined floor heights where a standard drain height would compromise the finished surface level.
- Laundry and wet room waste systems demanding long-term corrosion resistance in high-moisture environments.
Where 80mm Square Megaflex Stick Down Floor Waste Performs Best
Performs reliably on concrete slabs and screed substrates that are clean, dry, and properly prepared, within the specified temperature range of 5°C to 60°C.
Coverage, Skin Time & Cure
Yield and timing are defined by the selected outlet configuration and site workflow, with adherence to manufacturer guidance for tooling off and membrane integration.
- Outlet sizes: 50mm or 80mm, chosen to match existing plumbing dimensions.
- Application temperature range: 5°C to 60°C as per Manufacturer Specification.
- Membrane bonding and tooling off must align with adhesive cure characteristics to maintain continuous waterproofing.
Surface Prep & Application
Prepare a stable substrate and follow a sequenced installation to ensure the bonded seal performs under service conditions.
- Clean and dry the floor surface; remove dust, oils, and contaminants that would prevent bond integrity.
- Apply a compatible primer or adhesive as required for the substrate to improve bond strength.
- Position the 80mm Square Megaflex Stick Down Floor Waste, ensuring the outlet aligns with the pipe and the flange seats fully.
- Secure the assembly using appropriate fittings and verify the system maintains the required fall within tile bedding.
- Apply a compatible waterproofing membrane around the outlet area, tooling to eliminate voids.
Best Practices for Using 80mm Square Megaflex Stick Down Floor Waste
Integrate the system within a coordinated waterproofing strategy to manage interfacial seepage and long-term durability.
- Use with a certified waterproofing membrane designed for wet areas to prevent delamination at drainage points.
- Confirm compatibility between the ABS flange and membrane materials to avoid adhesion failure.
- Observe the temperature range and avoid installation where thermal deformation risk exists above 60°C.
- Ensure the outlet size matches the existing 50mm or 80mm plumbing to maintain proper pipe connection and fall.
Handling & Storage
Handle and store components to protect material integrity and ensure consistent performance on demanding job sites.
- Wear appropriate PPE and maintain ventilation when working with adhesives and primers.
- Store in a dry environment within the specified temperature range to prevent material degradation.
- Protect the brass grate and ABS flange from physical damage during transport and installation.
- Dispose of packaging and offcuts in accordance with local regulations.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Megaflex floor waste ensure a watertight seal?
The ABS Megaflex flange is designed for direct bonding to waterproofing membranes. This stick-down installation creates a secure, watertight seal, preventing water ingress and callbacks.
Is this floor waste compatible with vinyl flooring?
Yes, the low-profile flange is suitable for vinyl, tile, and other wet area flooring materials. Ensure proper bonding and sealing with compatible adhesives for a reliable installation.
What are the temperature limits for this floor waste?
This floor waste can be installed between 5°C to 60°C. Do not expose it to temperatures above 60°C in service to maintain material integrity and seal performance.
Does this floor waste meet Australian standards?
Yes, this product is WaterMark Certified and complies with AS/NZS 3500. This confirms its suitability for use in plumbing and drainage installations in Australia.
Applications and benefits

| Laundry and bathroom drainage | Provides a low-profile, compliant drainage point that integrates seamlessly with varied flooring finishes. | Tilers, Builders, Renovators |
| Installations requiring AS/NZS 3500 compliance | WaterMark Certified status confirms adherence to Australian and New Zealand plumbing standards. | Plumbers, Certifiers, Builders |
| Areas requiring corrosion resistance | Solid brass grate offers exceptional durability and resistance to moisture and common cleaning agents. | Plumbers, Tilers |
How to apply 80mm Square Megaflex™ Stick Down Floor Waste:
- Clean and dry the substrate thoroughly.
- Apply compatible waterproofing membrane around the outlet area.
- Press Megaflex™ flange into position, ensuring full contact with membrane.
- Secure connection to pipe using appropriate fittings.
- Install solid brass grate and seal edges if required.
Product limitations
- Not for: Areas without a waterproofing membrane. The design relies on direct bonding to a waterproofing layer for a watertight seal.
- Temperature exposure: Do not expose to temperatures above 60°C. Higher temperatures can compromise material integrity and seal performance.
Safety and handling
Personal protective equipment
Wear gloves and eye protection when handling the waste, especially during installation with adhesives or primers.
Ventilation
Ensure adequate ventilation when applying adhesives and primers during installation, as these products may contain volatile compounds.
Storage and disposal
Store in a cool, dry place between 5°C and 25°C. Avoid rough handling of the flange to prevent damage before installation. Dispose of components according to local waste regulations; brass and ABS plastic are recyclable where facilities exist.
Substrate guide
Proper surface preparation and primer selection are critical for a reliable, watertight installation of the Megaflex floor waste.
Cement screed
Surface prep: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, oils, or loose material. Cure time for screed must be observed.
Primer: Required. Use a compatible primer designed for adhesion to cementitious surfaces before applying waterproofing membrane and bonding the flange.
Tile bedding
Surface prep: Ensure the bedding is cured and stable. Clean thoroughly to remove any dust or tile adhesive residue.
Primer: Optional, depending on the waterproofing membrane system. Verify compatibility between the membrane, bedding, and flange adhesive.
Vinyl flooring
Surface prep: The vinyl surface must be clean, dry, and level. Ensure the area where the flange will bond is free of waxes or polishes.
Primer: Use a compatible adhesive or primer specified by the vinyl flooring or waterproofing membrane manufacturer for a secure, flexible seal.
