Linear wall drain VIEGA Advantix Vario 120 cm, frameless model 736552

VIEGA Advantix Vario 120 cm frameless linear wall drain model 736552 is a wall-mounted drainage solution designed to be integrated into tiled bathroom or shower walls. The 120 cm length provides a continuous outlet for surface water, directing flow towards the waste connection while remaining visually discreet because it omits a conventional visible grate. This frameless design is intended for barrier-free and accessible shower installations where a clean, uninterrupted tile plane is required.

Advantages

The frameless construction allows tiles to finish directly over the drain opening for a near-invisible integration that maintains the visual continuity of wall surfaces. With 120 cm coverage, the drain supports effective water capture over an extended area, reducing risk of standing water in shower zones. The wall-mounted approach facilitates installation in designs where floor drainage is limited or when a wall outlet is preferred for plumbing layout reasons. Materials and engineering from the manufacturer are aimed at durable, long-term operation when installed according to instructions.

Suitable for

• Barrier-free or accessible showers that require a wall-mounted drain solution
• Bathrooms where a continuous, low-visibility drainage line is desired
• Renovation projects where wall plumbing is used to simplify waste routing
• Tiled finishes that should be extended over the drainage opening for a seamless look

When it may not be suitable

This frameless wall drain is not appropriate when a floor-level grate or conventional floor channel drain is required by the project or local code. It may also be unsuitable in installations where wall construction or available plumbing does not permit a wall-mounted waste connection, or where the tiled finish cannot be reliably sealed to the drain opening.

Key specifications

• Installation type: wall-mounted linear drain
• Design: frameless, no visible grate
• Length: 120 cm
• Application: bathroom and shower wall drainage, barrier-free designs
• Finish integration: designed for tile-to-edge installation for a seamless look

How to use

Install the linear wall drain into the wall cavity at the planned shower or wet area location, ensuring the waste outlet aligns with the plumbing rough-in. Prepare the surrounding wall and tile substrate to allow tiles to be laid flush to the drain edge; follow the manufacturer’s sealing and waterproofing recommendations to prevent leaks. After tiling, complete connection to the waste system and test for proper flow and watertightness. Installation should follow local regulations and the manufacturer’s installation guide; use certified installers if required.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a wall-mounted waste connection exists or can be created at the installation site
• Ensure tile thickness and chosen tiling method are compatible with a frameless tile-to-edge installation
• Verify that local building codes permit wall-mounted linear drains for the intended application
• Account for waterproofing and sealing materials and labor when planning installation

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use the drain in combination with a complete waterproofing system and install per the manufacturer’s instructions. Periodic inspection of the waste connection and tiled interface is advised to detect grout or sealant wear early. In complex or concealed-wall plumbing setups, engage a professional installer to ensure correct alignment and drainage slope.
