Trowel the thinset on the rear side of the Fundo Riolitio neo Module
“Drain” again using a 1/4” × 1/4” (6 mm × 6 mm) notch trowel.
Press the
Fundo Riolito neo Module „Line Drain“ into the thinset so that the sealing
gasket moves smoothly into the drain body without contamination through
thinset. Make sure the entire wedi cement coated underside of the drain
module will have thinset support/coverage. Do NOT step on the drain mod
-
ule to push /connect to drain body or thinset. Apply a 1/2” (13 mm) bead
of wedi Joint Sealant to the module‘s Z notch channel and insert the second
module, the “Extension”. The Module “Extension”, once cut to length, is
also installed using thinset mortar and using the same technique as shown
under 4. Apply a 1/2” (13 mm) bead of wedi joint sealant over the seam
between both modules and spread flat using a putty knife. Apply weights.

Set up a continuous 1/2” (13 mm)
bead of wedi Joint Sealant at
the perimeter channel and
only in areas where you can
immediately install a wedi
Building Panel into the fresh
sealant.
Push the wedi Building Panel
all the way into the channel of
the shower base channel and
its bead of sealant. Smooth
out any pushed out sealant on
inside seam using a putty knife.
Fasten the panels directly to the
studs starting 1 ft (300 mm)
above the base and at a rate
of 1 fastener per 1ft (300 mm).
One extra fastener is set into the
seam to the next panel to crate
a flush transition.

Apply continuous 1/2” (13 mm) bead of sealant between all connections
of panels and install with tightly butted seams. Excess sealant must be
spread flat with a putty knife. All seams and fastener heads in the assembly
are covered with a secondary 1/2” (13 mm) bead of sealant and spread
flat. The seams should be covered 3/4” to 1” (19 mm to 25 mm) on either
side of seam. All fastener/washers are covered with sealant stretching 1”
(25 mm) over the washer edges.
wedi Niches are installed in a
cut out in the wedi wall and
attached with it‘s flange right
into the center of 16 o.c.
(406 mm) studs. wedi Joint
Sealant is set along the con-
nection of wall to niche.
2 Fasteners each side of the
niche are set to create a flush
transition to the wall panels.
Another 1/2” (13 mm) bead
of wedi seal ant is spread over
fasteners and seams.
A continuous 1/2” (13 mm) bead of sealant is set into the channel and
along the vertical curb notch part. A circle of 1/2” (13 mm) sealant bead is
set against the wall panels (and) or the curb sides where the curb attaches.
A 1/2” × 1/2” (13 mm × 13 mm) bed of thinset mortar is applied to the
subfloor. The tightly cut to fit curb is pressed into the connection. Weight
is applied on and against the curb ( from the outside) and another 1/2”
(13 mm) bead of sealant is applied over all curb seams and spread flat. The
seams must be covered 3/4” to 1” (19 mm to 25 mm) either side of a seam.
Curb connection notches must be cut to tightly fit
select Riolito neo bases.
For the installation to properly work it is critical to waterproof all
penetrations of the wedi product such as shower valves and shower
heads using the appropriate sealing gaskets for the application. The
wedi Mixing Valve Flexi Collar and wedi Flexi Collar (for 1/2” – 3/4”
shower pipe protrusions) are used for these applications and are
part of the wedi System complete warranty.
