FAQs
What material is the Rea Neox 1000 made of?
It is constructed from high-quality AISI 304 stainless steel with a NanoFLEX coating.
Can I install this drain myself?
While basic placement might seem straightforward, linear drains require precise floor sloping and waterproofing integration. Professional installation by a plumber or contractor is highly recommended for optimal performance and to prevent leaks.
How do I clean the black matt finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that could scratch or damage the finish.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Rea Neox 1000 comes with a 10-year warranty.
What are the dimensions of the drain?
The drain length is 100 cm. The specific width and height depend on the installation requirements but the channel is designed for standard floor depths.
Can the grating be reversed to fit tiles?
Yes, the grating is reversible. One side offers a black matt finish, and the other side is designed to have tiles glued into it for a seamless, integrated look.
What is the water throughput capacity?
The throughput capacity is 0.45 liters per second (l/s).
Troubleshooting
Slow drainage or standing water
Ensure the floor is adequately sloped towards the drain (minimum 1%). Check the siphon and drain body for any obstructions. Verify that the drain is installed at the correct depth and sealed properly.
Unpleasant odors from the drain
The siphon may be dry or blocked. Pour water down the drain to refill the trap seal. If the odor persists, remove and clean the siphon.
Grating does not sit flush
Check for debris caught in the drain channel or on the grating seating. Ensure the grating is correctly oriented and fully seated.
Water leaking around the drain
The drain may not be properly sealed to the subfloor or waterproofing membrane. This requires re-sealing by a qualified professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Proper installation is critical for the performance of the Rea Neox 1000. It requires a correctly sloped subfloor leading to the drain. Ensure the drain body is securely sealed to the waterproofing membrane to prevent leaks. The straight siphon should be installed according to manufacturer guidelines for optimal flow and odor trapping.
Compatibility: This linear drain is designed for installation in standard floor constructions. It is compatible with most common waterproofing systems. The reversible grating allows for integration with tile thicknesses typically between 8mm and 15mm when using the tile insert option.
Care: To maintain the black matt finish and ensure optimal performance, clean the drain regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the NanoFLEX coating or the finish. Periodically check the siphon for debris and clean as needed.
