Thank you for a super informative video. I can now tick Puddle Flanges off the "HUH?" list with my new role at Bunnings.

Great video, we have just had a Tiler completely stuff this up but fortunately we had a plumber check it out before the bathroom reno progressed too far. Although we did have to remove the shower tiles and dig up the shower pit. The tiler did not fit a flange instead he cut a hole into a plastic looking cap and then affixed it to the plastic pipe with tape. We would have had major water issues.

really good summary of waterproofing around drains

we can always learn something good video, keep up the good work

Thanks for your videos mate - watched about 20 of them so far - love that they're not too long, bought some of your products as-well - specifically the Butyl squares and the joint bands!

Recessing those flanges in concrete or cement sheeting would a nightmare. The other query related to this is the floor may be flat or water does not actually fall towards drain especially on a wooden floor. In my mind the flange just needs to be placed on top of the screed and obviously recessed in. Bathroom failures in the past were mainly as a consequence of floor tiles being butted up against wall tiles.

Hi very informative thank you, I am tackling a complete bathroom reno which failed due to mixer and perhaps poor previous install of the drain.

Thank you, I looked at this raised flange as an issue, now you have confirmed it for me, much appreciated 🍻cheers

Hey there Fantastic ,well explained!! Thank you

Puddle flanges should always be recessed to avoid water build up full stop. But with the sheet over the top of it that is nothing short of brilliant!

Hi, what's the disadvantage of double waterproofing (on subfloor and on the screed)? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the video mate

Good stuff

How do I send photos I’m about to water proof my bathroom but my piping drain doesn’t look like that 😢

Few concerns I have with your method, you did not FC11 the flange to the floor to stop it moving, and the square you put over the flange now creates a square lip around the flange, sort of pointless recessing the flange.

Actually on second thoughts it all seems like overkill. If waterproofing was done on surface and on inside of pipe, it is probably just as safe as using a flange but without all the rigmarole.

Thanks for your very informative videos. I'm also planning on doing both u/o screed shower waterproofing method, but lets say I'm using 100 mm drain pipe with two 100 mm puddle flanges, so in this case, at least the way I see it, the top puddle flange wouldn't actually fit into the one below...., unless I could find a puddle flange that sits flush onto the drain pipe so I could slide the top one through it....?

So do recommend waterproofing under and over the scree? If you use the duddle flange and also a long drain grate, do you recess the flange and aslontge grate and waterproof it all in with the screed?

Really good! Do you sell the puddle flange kit as well?

very easily explained and very informative Thank you

Very well explained 🙂

Another good video- well done-

very informative thanks. So how do you rebate a puddle flange into fibre cement flooring?

I am considering doing a under screed over screed membrane/sandwich style if you will. So it will be cement substrate then gc-1 or 4 then a liquid membrane then screed and then the gc-1 or 4 then another liquid membrane. Basically I want the thing dolphin butt tight and bullet proof. My first question is where you join or extend the lower puddle flange to the higher puddle flange on the screed. On the lower puddle flange do you need to use pebbles around the puddle flange weep holes like the yanks do so the weep holes are not blocked or obstructed? Second question. With the Butyl square is that bonded under the g/c membrane or over the top of it?

how u can garranty membery tape not peal off from flanger. after mositure go inside, rather than i prefer trust sk flex

puddle flanges are apart of the plumbing system .in Australia if you fit a puddle flange and you are not a licensed plumber you are doing unlicensed works .if a company like gripset is advising contractors to do works outside there scope ,does this make gripset liable for any issues from installation or licensing .

Great Video thank you! How to you recess the flange into fibre cement sheet is this a special tool you use to cut such a perfect fit?

Great informative video. Thankyou

Great video. What do you use to create the rebate?

Did you say two flanges if membrane under and over?

How’d do you make a rebate in an FC sheet OR a concrete slab?

This one (with a pre-slope) is the best system I've seen so far. Designed in Australia, unfortunately only available in the U.S. Their 'Aussie' version is not as good - in my opinion.
