Installation
Installation is straightforward when planned correctly:
- Position the drain and connect it to the drainage pipework system.
- Ensure adequate floor gradients to direct water towards the drain.
- Backfill around the drain and finish the flooring up to the drain edge.
- Remove all protective tape or film before final sealing.
- Apply a 5–8mm bead of suitable mastic sealant where a watertight seal is required between the floor finish and drain body.
For optimum performance:
- Keep waste pipe runs as short as possible.
- Minimise bends in the pipework.
- Ensure sufficient pipe gradient is maintained.
- Consider drainage capacity requirements where multiple fixtures discharge into the same system.
Maintenance
All Herbish® stainless steel drainage products feature a satin finish. While highly durable, the appearance of the finish can be affected by incorrect cleaning methods.
Surface scratches or marks may affect appearance but will not compromise the corrosion resistance or performance of the drain. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will help preserve both appearance and hygiene standards.
