Specification and installation instructions
Stainless Steel custom made Clamping Drain Rings, Clamping Drain Bars and Clamping Transition Strips for Resilient Flooring Systems
Existing Round Drains using Stainless Steel Drain Rings
At all existing round drains install Clamping Stainless Steel Drain Rings, with a inside diameter that will allow the clean out plate to be removed after completion of the installation; drill and screwed over circular cut edge in the flooring. Follow the installation instructions below.
Square and Rectangle Drains and Floor Sinks using Stainless Steel Drain Bar Enclosures
At all existing square or rectangle drains including floor sinks, install Clamping Stainless Steel Drain Bar Enclosures with a 45 degree angled cut on each end, screws and plastic anchors included. Install according to instructions below.
Stainless Steel Transition Strips
At all doorway thresholds, above the raw edges of the flooring material, especially over the transitional edges of dissimilar materials, Stainless Steel Transition Strips must be specified. At no time there should be any visible raw edges on any Resilient Flooring, as this may cause water to seep under the flooring, which would emulsify the adhesive and separate the flooring from the sub floor.
Installation Instructions
Place the Stainless
Steel Transition Strip, Stainless Steel Clamping Rings, Stainless Steel
Clamping Drain Bar Enclosures, on top of the Resilient Flooring, mark the location
of
the holes to be drilled and
using the appropriate type and size of drill bit, taking into consideration the
type of sub flooring material make-up, drill the holes approximately 2-3 inches deep. Inject a little
polyurethane caulking into the hole then insert the plastic anchor into the
hole. Place a bead of polyurethane caulking compound or polyurethane adhesive beneath
the flooring material as well under the Stainless Steel Drain Ring or
Transition Strip or Drain Bar Enclosures prior to screwing them down over the
Resilient Flooring. Use the stainless
steel screws and plastic anchors provided with the
Custom Cut Stainless Steel Drain Rings or Bars provided for this use.
