This 230mm puddle flange recess kit for FC sheeting is a grinder-mounted cutting attachment for forming a floor-waste opening and flange recess in compressed fibre cement flooring. Designed for plumbers, waterproofers and builders preparing wet-area floors, it allows compatible leak-control puddle flanges to be recessed before waterproofing.
Choose your kit
230mm Single (no waste pipe installed): the 230mm recess disc and integrated 150mm hole saw cut the opening and flange recess.
230mm Dual (waste pipe already installed): the flywheel guide centres the cutter in a compatible waste pipe beneath the sheet. Check pipe size and guide fit.
Flange compatibility
For Allproof stepped leak-control puddle flanges or equivalent compatible profiles. Check flange diameter, underside profile and permitted sheet recess depth. 230mm is the disc diameter, not the pipe size.
For FC flooring only. Use the compatible shroud, dust extraction and required PPE, following the kit instructions.

Overview & Features
- Two selectable 230 mm FC configurations: FC Sheeting Recess Kit and Dual FC Recess Disc Kit
- ITA lists both kits for Allproof stepped puddle flanges or equivalent
- FC Sheeting kit: 230 mm recess disc with integrated 150 mm hole saw
- FC Sheeting kit: centred using a 14 mm pilot hole before pipe installation
- Use the correct dust guard with suitable vacuum extraction
- FC sheeting only; separate tooling is required for concrete
Application Guide
1. Confirm the selected configuration, flange profile and suitability of the FC sheet before cutting. ITA lists both kits for Allproof stepped puddle flanges or equivalent.
2. Obtain and follow the installation instructions for the selected configuration. The existing linked FC Sheeting instructions apply to the pilot-hole configuration; do not assume they apply to the Dual FC kit.
3. Isolate the grinder before assembly. Inspect the disc and guard and confirm grinder, spindle and shroud compatibility.
4. For the FC Sheeting kit, mark the outlet centre and pre-drill a 14 mm pilot hole before drainage pipe installation. Locate the guide shaft in the pilot hole.
5. Connect suitable dust extraction and use the required PPE. Never operate without the correct dust guard.
6. Cut only to the depth required for the actual flange and sheet build-up; do not use these FC tools on concrete.
7. Isolate the tool and vacuum the recess. Test-fit the flange and complete bonding, sealing and membrane integration to the relevant manufacturers' requirements.
8. Confirm the Dual FC kit's centring method and pipe-installation requirements from its own instructions before use.

WHY PURPOSE-BUILT FC TOOLING?
Less Manual Shaping. More Control.
Use an attachment designed for FC sheet recessing to reduce repeated manual adjustment. Correct depth, dust extraction and final test-fitting still matter.

CHOOSE YOUR FC CONFIGURATION
Match Your Kit to the Pipe Installation.
Both options use 230 mm FC recess tooling. Select the configuration to suit the drainage setup, then confirm flange and guide compatibility.
230 mm
Single — Before Pipe Installation
Integrated 150 mm hole saw and 230 mm recess disc. The Single configuration is centred from a 14 mm pilot hole before the waste pipe is installed.
230 mm
Dual — Existing Waste Pipe
Flywheel-guided configuration for a compatible installed waste pipe. Confirm guide fit and follow the Dual kit’s own instructions.
230 mm is the disc diameter. It is not the pipe size. ITA lists Allproof stepped leak-control flanges or equivalent compatible profiles. Check the actual flange diameter and underside geometry.
WHAT YOU’RE BUYING
FC Tooling for Your Selected Configuration.
The Single kit combines the FC recess disc, integrated hole saw and extraction shroud. The Dual option uses its own flywheel-guided assembly; confirm the selected configuration before ordering.
Purpose-built 230 mm FC recess attachment

CHECK BEFORE YOU CUT
The Right Tool. The Right Substrate.
Recess depth must suit the actual flange and the flooring manufacturer’s requirements. Confirm sheet type, thickness, support and allowable material removal before use.
FC flooring suitability
Use only on suitable compressed fibre cement flooring. Do not assume thin FC tile underlay is suitable for recessing. Confirm minimum residual thickness and support with the sheet manufacturer.
Grinder and extraction
Single configuration: compatible 230 mm (9 inch) grinder with M14 thread and the correct shroud. Verify Dual mounting separately. Use suitable vacuum extraction and the required PPE.
Choose the centring method
Single: 14 mm pilot hole before pipe installation. Dual: confirm installed-pipe size and flywheel guide fit from the configuration-specific instructions.
Flange and membrane integration
Confirm the flange diameter and stepped underside profile. Test-fit, then complete fixing, bonding, sealing and membrane integration to the relevant manufacturers’ requirements.
Recessing alone does not establish compliance with AS 3740:2021. Correct substrate support, flange installation, sealing and waterproofing integration remain essential.
230mm FC Puddle Flange Recess Kit FAQs
What substrate is the recess kit designed for?
Both configurations are intended for compressed fibre cement (FC) floor sheeting. Use the separate concrete recess-kit range for concrete slabs.
Which puddle flanges are compatible with the kit?
ITA's distributor list specifies Allproof stepped puddle flanges or equivalent for both the 230 mm FC Sheeting Recess Kit and the 230 mm Dual FC Recess Disc Kit. Confirm the actual flange profile and required recess depth before cutting. Puddle Pro compatibility is not verified.
What grinder is required?
The FC Sheeting configuration uses a compatible 230 mm (9 inch) angle grinder with an M14 thread. Verify the selected Dual FC configuration against its own installation instructions before fitting it to a grinder.
Is a pilot hole required before recessing?
The FC Sheeting configuration uses a 14 mm pilot hole and is intended for use before drainage pipe installation. Do not assume that this centring method applies to the Dual FC configuration; obtain its configuration-specific instructions.
What is included with the recessing kit?
The FC Sheeting configuration includes the 230 mm recess disc with integrated 150 mm hole saw and the 280 mm vacuum dust shroud. Confirm the exact Dual FC assembly and inclusions with ITA. Grinder, vacuum and puddle flange are not included in these kit-only variants.
