Flex Retrofit Drain PVC Coated Flange - Manual (Page 2)

Flex Retrofit Drain
PVC Coated Flange Model
FOR USE WITH
Flex PVC membrane roof systems.
JOB PREPARATION
The existing leader pipe shall be cleaned
of excess bitumen build-up, dirt and debris.
Remove the clamping ring assembly and bolts
from the existing drain and discard. If required,
comply with roof manufacturer’s directions for
additional cleaning or detailing.
STEP 1
Important – The aluminum activation cone
may have settled into the backflow seal during
shipping which may partially activate the seal.
To deactivate the seal, simply push down on the
top of the two backflow bolts.
Note: The top
of the tapered metal cone should remain inside
the bottom of the urethane seal. Do not fully
disengage cone from urethane seal.
STEP 2
Install the Flex PVC membrane over the existing
drain location. Cut a hole in the membrane the
same diameter as existing leader pipe. The
hole should be centered over the existing pipe
opening and accommodate the O.D. of RAC
drain pipe to be installed.
STEP 3
Lower the RAC PVC Drain Assembly into the
existing drain leader pipe until the underside
of the drain flange sits flat on the roof. Using
the pre-punched holes in the perimeter of the
flange, secure the drain flange to the substrate
with appropriate fasteners.
STEP 4
Hand tighten the 7 /
16
-in. bolts on the backflow
rods to activate the seal. Alternate tightening
between the bolts for an even seal. Rods should
be snug when fully activated. Do not over tighten.
STEP 5
Clean membrane and drain flange surfaces. Hot
air weld the flashing membrane to the coated
drain flange and to the surrounding field sheet.
Flashing membrane should extend onto field
sheet a minimum of 4 inches.
STEP 6
Place the drain strainer over the two strainer
securement brackets, lining the brackets up
with the two 5-in. long slots in the top of the
strainer. Install stainless steel bolts and washers
(provided) into the securement brackets with a
7 /
16
-in. wrench. Tighten nuts snugly into position.
