Complete KERDI-DRAIN-A adaptor drain kit that converts an existing clamping ring drain to a bonding-flange drain. Includes 5-1/2" adaptor ring, ABS drain body and 4" square stainless steel grate.
Schluter KERDI-DRAIN-A turns an existing clamping ring shower drain into a drain with an integrated bonding flange, for jobs where the old drain can't be taken out (for example, when it is set in a concrete slab). This complete drain kit includes the ABS drain body, the 5-1/2" adaptor ring and a 4" square stainless steel grate assembly, so no separate grate is needed.
Key Features
Made for clamping ring drains that cannot be removed
Steel adaptor ring with an over-molded rubber gasket and punch-out hole patterns that line up with most common clamping ring drains
Adaptor ring bolts to the existing drain body with the original clamping ring bolts and is sealed with the gasket and KERDI-FIX
Drain body with integrated bonding flange slides into the adaptor ring; the gasket makes the joint watertight
Includes a 4" square stainless steel grate with ABS adjustment ring (height and tilt adjustment)
Height and tilt (no side-to-side adjustment with the 5-1/2" adaptor kit)

Installation / Application Tips
Remove the clamping ring from the installed drain and keep its bolts. Punch out the holes in the adaptor ring that match the bolt pattern.
Run a continuous 1/4" - 3/8" (6 - 10 mm) bead of KERDI-FIX under the adaptor ring, set it on the drain flange and tighten the bolts in a star pattern, finger-tight plus 1/4 turn. Overtightening can warp the ring and cause leaks.
Slide the drain flange into the adaptor ring and support it fully with mortar or the center section of the foam tray.
Measure the flange height before setting a shower tray; extra build-up may be needed.
Schluter recommends leak-testing the drain-to-waste-line connection before continuing. Follow local plumbing codes.
