Trowel the thinset on the rear side of the Fundo Riolitio neo Module
“Drain” again using a 1/4” × 1/4” (6.4 × 6.4 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. Do not bend or apply uneven pressure when pressing the
part into thinset bed and drain trap. This is a tight t so you should use some
water or safe plumbers grease to help. When using plumbers grease, the
gasket may retract upward so you need some temporary weight here to
keep it fully inserted (thinset bag or tile box). Carefully apply weight equally
and leave on surface and drain area to allow the thinset to initially cure
without being disturbed (e.g. thinset bags). Ensure there is 100% thinset
supporting the drain channel area over a completely at suboor. This may
break the unit‘s seals. Make sure the entire wedi cement coated underside
of the drain module will have thinset support/coverage. Do NOT step on the
drain module to push /connect to drain body or thinset. Apply a 1/2” (12.7
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” (12.7 mm) bead of wedi Joint Sealant over the
seam between both modules and spread at using a putty knife.

Set up a continuous 1/2” (12.7 mm) bead of wedi Joint Sealant at the pe-
rimeter channel and only in areas where you can immediately install a wedi
Building Panel into the fresh sealant. Push the wedi 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. (304.8 mm) above the base and
at a rate of 1 fastener per 1ft (304.8 mm). One extra fastener is set into
the seam to the next panel to create a ush transition. wedi requires wedi
Building Panels to be installed in all areas exposed to water and in any case
no lower than 6” (152.4 mm) above all water inlet xtures.

Apply continuous 1/2” (12.7 mm) bead of sealant between all connections
of panels and install with tightly butted seams. Excess sealant must be
spread at with a putty knife. All seams and fastener heads in the assembly
are covered with a secondary 1/2” (12.7 mm) bead of sealant and spread
at. The seams should be covered 1” (25.4 mm) on either side of seam.
All fastener / washers are covered with sealant stretching 1” (25.4 mm)
over the washer edges.
wedi Niches are installed in a
cut out in the wedi wall and
attached with it‘s ange right
into the center of 16 o.c.
(406.4 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 ush
transition to the wall panels.
Another 1/2” (12.7 mm) bead
of wedi Joint Seal ant is spread
over fasteners and seams.
A continuous 1/2” (12.7 mm) bead of sealant is set into the channel and
along the vertical curb notch part. A circle of 1/2” (12.7 mm) sealant bead is
set against the wall panels (and) or the curb sides where the curb attaches.
A 1/2” × 1/2” (12.7 × 12.7 mm) bed of thinset mortar is applied to the
suboor. The tightly cut to t curb is pressed into the connection. Apply
weight for at least 30 minutes on and against the curb (from the outside) and
another 1/2” (12.7 mm) bead of sealant is applied over all curb seams and
spread at. The seams must be covered 1” (25.4 mm) either side of a seam.
Curb connection notches must be cut to tightly fit
select Riolito neo bases.
