STILEBOARD Puddle flange

Description:

A puddle or leak control flange is a construction product that connects the waterproofing system to the plumbing drainage system, also known as DWV (Drain Waste Vent). This is required in all floor waste installs by the Australian standard AS 3740-2010. There are two types of puddle flanges designed to suit either tiled floors or vinyl floors, the design changes for each one depending on how it interacts and connects with the waterproof flooring system.

HOW TILED FLOOR WASTES ARE DESIGNED TO WORK:

A tiled floor puddle flange is generally made from PVC plastic, is round, about the size of a dinner plate providing a large surface area for the bonding of the waterproof membrane to. It has a drainage hole and male pipe connection in the centre. The waterproof membrane is applied over the floor and walls prior to the tiles being installed. The tile drainage flange is rebated into the floor (substrate) so that the waterproof membrane is applied over the top creating a ‘tanked’ area allowing the flow of water towards the outlet in the center of the puddle flange. The drainage system is connected to the male outlet connection on the underside of the flange. Once the tiles have been installed a spigot is used to adjust the height of the grate so it is flush with the finished floor level.
