Laticrete HYDRO BAN Waterproofing 4-1/2" Mixing Valve Seal for Shower and Wet Area Waterproofing Systems

Product Description:

Protect critical shower valve penetrations with the LATICRETE HYDRO BAN® Waterproofing 4-1/2" Mixing Valve Seal, a professional-grade waterproofing accessory specifically designed for use around standard shower mixing valves and control assemblies. Part of the LATICRETE HYDRO BAN Shower System, this preformed waterproofing seal provides installers with a fast, consistent and reliable way to waterproof one of the most vulnerable areas in a tile shower or wet-area installation.

Waterproofing around a mixing valve can be difficult when installers must cut, shape or fabricate membrane material around the plumbing penetration. The HYDRO BAN 4-1/2" Mixing Valve Seal eliminates the need for field fabrication or modification by providing a factory preformed and pre-cut component engineered specifically for this application. The result is a cleaner, more consistent installation while helping reduce installation time and the potential for leaks at critical transition points.

The 4-1/2" (114 mm) mixing valve collar is designed to seal around standard shower mixing valves and control assemblies. Its preformed construction helps provide precise positioning around the valve penetration, making it an excellent choice for professional tile setters, shower installers, remodelers, contractors and demanding residential applications.

Constructed as a fleece-backed waterproofing component, the HYDRO BAN Mixing Valve Seal is designed to integrate seamlessly with LATICRETE waterproofing systems. The fleece backing promotes reliable bonding when incorporated with HYDRO BAN Sheet Membrane and the appropriate adhesive mortar, helping create a continuous waterproofing assembly around the shower valve.

One of the major advantages of the LATICRETE HYDRO BAN system is its versatility. This mixing valve waterproofing seal is compatible with HYDRO BAN Sheet Membrane, HYDRO BAN Board and liquid-applied HYDRO BAN waterproofing membranes, allowing contractors to use the same preformed valve seal across a variety of HYDRO BAN waterproofing installations. Whether constructing a traditional tiled shower, bathtub surround, bathroom wet area or more demanding steam shower installation, this accessory helps complete the waterproofing system at the plumbing penetration.
