Preparation and installation of the Waterproof Paintable Membrane connection to the
Wondercap Tile Shower Outlet as per IAPMO UPC 1-2018 408.0 Showers
1. Position the Wondercap Tiled Shower Outlet into shower
drain outlet – ideally, the location should be in the center of
the shower.
2. Clean, prime and solvent-weld flange tail
1
into the drainage
pipe. Ensure the flange sits flush with floor and secure with 4
counter-sunk screws.
3. Install approved backer boards to the shower stud walls as
required.
4. To form the pre-slope, mark out the height of pre-slope on
external walls of shower, allowing a fall of
¼” per foot. Fill with dry pack mortar and
screed back to edge of outer Wondercap
flange
1
. Install the curb/rough threshold.
Once bedding is set, form the curb/
shower step by packing in a dry mortar mix and trowelling
to the desired thickness of shower step. The curb should
be no less than 2” in height above the internal shower
bedding floor and no more than 9” in height.
5. Once dry, remove inner flange
2
and the base
3
& cap
4
component and set aside.
6. After back boards, pre-slope and curb have been installed,
clean the required waterproofing areas and prepare finished
surfaces for the waterproofing membrane installation.
7. Using 2x 6”x24” fiberglass mesh strips, place both strips on either
side of outer flange, overlapping and completely covering the
outlet of the outer flange
1
. Carefully cut away inner circle of the
overlapped fiberglass strips. Clean, prime and solvent-weld inner
flange and outer flange. Press the two components together with
a twisting motion, maintaining a firm pressure for a few seconds
until solvent cement has taken hold. Note: silicone sealant will not
be required as the waterproofing will be applied across the outer
flange
1
& inner flange
2
connection.
PRO TIP!
Always use approved Industry Standard, Approved Waterproofing
and Crack-Isolation Membrane products. Read and follow
manufacturer’s installation guidelines for the waterproofing
membrane. As recommended, always use fiberglass mesh strips
to reinforce corners of shower floor, curb and vertical corners
as required. It is also recommended to waterproof shower walls
above the height of shower outlet to guarantee a water tight
connection.
8. Apply first coat of waterproofing membrane as per manufacturer’s
guidelines over fiberglass mesh strips to shower floor, curb and
walls as required and allow to dry.
9. Apply second coat of waterproofing membrane as per
manufacturer’s guidelines and allow to dry completely prior to
flood testing.
PRO TIP!
Using supplied blue test plug
5
, flood test the waterproofing paintable
membrane. The flood test should be held for up to 4 hours to ensure
the waterproofing membrane and its connection to drain is water tight.
10. Reinsert Wondercap base
3
& cap
4
component
into inner flange
2
. Raise base
3
& cap
4
component to required mortar height and
apply a mortar mix in and around underside of
the base
3
& cap
4
to support and hold to the
required position – always use a spirit level
to ensure the base
3
& cap
4
component is
perpendicular to the flange
1
. Do not remove
protective cap.
PRO TIP!
Make sure to allow for tile thickness when raising
the base
3
& cap
4
to the required height. The base
3
& cap
4
should end flush with the top of the tile.
11. Screed shower bed with 1” layer of prepared mortar mix and
lay a suitable galvanized steel mesh or metal lath over the
shower prepared bedding and continue the metal lath across
shower rough threshold (the step).
12. Apply remaining mortar mix over mesh or lath. Screed back
to shower drain outlet whilst maintaining correct grade as
per standard building requirements.
13. When laying floor tiles, the fall is maintained towards drain and
tiles are cut around the round strainer using the protective cap
or strainer as a template. Square strainers
7
are set up and cut
around as required.
14. Finally, remove protective cap
4
and seal in desired strainer
(7)
with
tile glue and grout.
Wondercap USA, Inc 1270 Caroline St Suite D120-435, Atlanta GA 30307
PRO TIP! - If you have not allowed
for tile thickness, continue tiling to the
drain outlet. Tiles will finish ½” above
the top of the base
3
& cap
4
. Remove
cap
4
and cut internal edge of cap
4
to
the height required to support selected
strainer
7
(as per detail) to finish flush
with the tiles.
PRO TIP!
Raise adjustable base to
required mortar height,
allowing for tile thickness
PRO TIP! For connection
with 2” linear drains insert
Wondercap reducing bush
6
into base
3
Discard if not
required.
Remember: Discard test plug
5
after use and if NOT installing a linear
drain connection, discard reducing bush
6
.
