Ebbe Bond Flange: Installation Instructions
Step 1: Dry fit the Ebbe Bond Flange:
-Make sure the Bond Flange can connect to the waste pipe. Make adjustments to the waste pipe if needed. The top of the waste pipe should be 2-⅛ to 2-¼ inch below the substrate.
-Ensure the Bond Flange will be level once secured to the substrate. If needed, shim the Bond Flange to ensure it’s level.
-(Optional) Use Height Adjustment Posts (included). If you need to raise the height of the Bond Flange to match your sloped foam pan. Posts raise the Bond Flange 7/16 inch.
Step 2: Connect the Bond Flange to the waste pipe:
-Use ABS cement to connect the ABS Bond Flange to an ABS waste pipe.
-Use PVC cement to connect the PVC Bond Flange to a PVC waste pipe.
-Apply thinset to the bottom of the Bond Flange for support and adhesion.
-Fasten the Bond Flange to the substrate. (fasteners not included) If installing over concrete use appropriate fasteners.
-Ensure the Bond Flange is level and secure.
Step 3: Waterproof the Bond Flange to the shower pan:
-Use fiberglass mesh tape over the transitions from the Bond Flange to the shower pan.
-Generously apply liquid waterproofing. Completely cover the entire shower pan and the fabric on the Bond Flange.
-Follow waterproofing manufacturer’s suggested installation instructions.
Step 4: Dry fit tile and set the Riser height:
-Dry fit the tile over the entire floor.
-Set the height of the Riser (or drain head) to be flush (or slightly lower) with the immediate tile surrounding the Bond Flange.
– NOTE: The well around the Riser allows for last minute adjustments to the height of the Riser before the tile is set.
-After the riser is set to height and position, pack deck mud around the Riser.
-Weep water is allowed to escape through the deck mud and into the Bond Flange
