1. Selecting a size
Sizing a Geberit cable drain is simple and easy, with only a few pieces of information required:
A: Drain Shoe
Distance from drain centerline to overflow mounting surface. This information is typically available through tub manufacturers' technical documentation, but is easily measured on the job.
B: Overflow Depth
Distance from overflow centerline to drain mounting surface. This information is typically available through manufacturers' technical documentation, but is easily measured on the job.
C: Tub Depth
In general, tub depth serves as an rough guidance for selection. However, the actually definition of tub depth varies by manufacturer and model. Therefore, Geberit recommends to size all drains using Drain Shoe and Overflow dimensional information.
To size:
1. Measure Drain shoe length
2. Measure Overflow length
3. Give these dimensions to your sales outlet
2. Selecting material
Material selection is governed by local codes, so be sure a professional contractor is involved if applicable. Geberit BWO offers the complete spectrum of materials to assure complete Code Compliance.
