PAM AQUACHANNEL

	INSTALLATION (top)
1	Form a trough 130mm deep x 130mm wide in the floor at the wall/floor junction. (See also fig 57).
2	Apply the waterproof coating or System Platon Cavity Drain Membrane to the wall and finish 100mm minimum below existing floor level. (See also fig 58)
3	Lay a shallow bed of 20mm stone into the trough. Place the PAM Aquachannel onto the stone with the upstand to the top and flat against the waterproofing/cavity drain membrane to the wall. Lengths of Aquachannel are butt jointed on straight runs and can be mitred in corners. Joints should be sealed with a suitable tape, Platon over tape or builder duck tape, to avoid debris from falling into the channel. (See also fig 59)
4	Fit the Aquachannel outlet into the Aquachannel at the appropriate location. The Aquachannel outlet requires a 40mm hole in the underside of the Aquachannel. The Aquachannel outlet is solvent welded to the channel using the internal male coupling. A chase should be formed into the floor to accommodate the outlet pipe from the Aquachannel to the sump or drain.
5	Infill the remaining gap between the Aquachannel and the side of the trough with 20mm stone and finish flush with the flat surface of the Aquachannel. (See also fig 60 & 61)
6	When installing Platon membrane over the floor, make good the remaining area with 20mm stone. Lay the membrane over the floor area and seal to the wall membrane using Platon wall/floor junction or Platon Sealing rope.
7	When Platon membrane is not going to be installed over the floor, make good the remaining area with approximately 50mm screed.
