IMPORTANT NOTES
-
The integrity of the Gully is dependent on a good seal between the underside of the sheet flooring and the Gully Body. The only Sealant tested & 100% safe for use with
Gully products is McAlpine MacXseal Hybrid Sealant & Adhesive as illustrated. Acetoxy sealants must not be used as they may be detrimental to the plastic used in the
manufacture of the Gully. -
All Gullies have flow rates in excess of 30 litres per minute when tested in accordance with EN 1253-2:2003 and are variable dependent on Cover Plate or Grating used. The flow rate can be seriously impaired if an adequate fall is not maintained throughout the length of the waste pipe.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The following instructions refer to all 59mm deep two piece Gullies.
These Gullies are suitable for all floors but they have been specifically
designed for use with floor formers.
This enables the Gully Body to be fully plumbed to the discharge pipe work
using the Outlet Connection prior to the installation of the Floor Former.
-
Unpack the box and check contents.
-
Timber & Floor Formers.
Floor Former manufacturer’s installation instructions should be adhered to at all times.
Cut hole in floor / former to accommodate Gully Body (timber floor max. 160mm diameter).
Set Gully Body into the floor / former and ensure that the top surface of the Gully Flange aligns flush with, or slightly below, the floor surface on which the sheet flooring is to be laid.
Note all required pipework dimension at the installion level.
Unassemble the Gully from the floor / former and remove the following items from the Gully Body.
Top Cover, Clamp Ring, Gully Flange (if required) and the non-return valve assembly (by turning anti-clockwise) and lifting out. Keep the valve stored in a safe place until the installation is complete and ready to handover.
Solvent weld the oulet and body to the discharge pipe work using the dimensions previously measured. Check that the Rubber Seal remains in place on the Gully Body. The former can now be placed in position over the Gully Body. Connect the Gully Flange to the Gully Body through the hole in the former and tightened with the flange spanner provided. Ensure the Gully flange remains concentric within the 160mm opening during this procedure. Secure Gully body to floor surface by drilling out indentations in flange with 5mm drill and fix with 4 x No. 8 Stainless Steel or Plated Countersunk Head Screws (not supplied). It is recomended that pilot holes are also drilled into the floor or former surface to ensure the Gully Flange does not rise from the floor / former whilst screwing together.
Ensure that the Gully Body is fully supported on the underside. DO NOT solely support on the Gully Flange. -
Concrete Floors.
Make good around the Gully ensuring that the Gully Body is fully supported.
DO NOT solely support on the Gully Flange. -
Test drainage system for air and water tightness and place the Temporary Dust Cover over the Gully Flange.
-
To lay sheet flooring, remove Temporary Dust Cover.
-
Position the sheet flooring and carefully, cut a hole 110mm in diameter directly over the Gully.
-
Ensure a watertight seal is obtained between the underside of the sheet flooring and the Gully Flange with adequate use of an appropriate neutral sealant. The only Sealant tested & 100% safe for use with Gully products is McAlpine MacXseal Hybrid Sealant & Adhesive. Acetoxy sealants must not be used as they may be detrimental to the plastic used in the manufacture of the Gully.
-
Clamp sheet flooring to the Gully by securing the Clamp Ring with the 4 x M6 Stainless Steel Screws provided and then replace Temporary Dust Cover.
-
Prior to hand over, remove Temporary Dust Cover.
A visual inspection of the Gully should be carried out to ensure it is clean and free from debris.
