Schluter KERDI-DRAIN Drain Kit with 4" Stainless Steel Grate

Schluter KERDI-DRAIN Drain Kit with 4" Stainless Steel Grate

Schluter KERDI-DRAIN is a point drain for tiled showers built with the Schluter Shower System. The drain body has a large integrated bonding flange, so the KERDI waterproofing membrane bonds right at the top of the drain and the whole shower is sealed in one layer.

This complete kit has everything for one drain: the drain body with a 2" outlet, a 4" square stainless steel grate in Schluter's CLASSIC design, preformed waterproofing corners and the pipe and mixing valve seals. Choose ABS or PVC to match your waste line; the two plastics must not be mixed.

Key Features

• Integrated, sloped bonding flange with fleece for a direct, waterproof connection to KERDI
• Drain body in ABS or PVC with a standard 2" (50 mm) outlet, connected with solvent cement
• Grate frame can be moved sideways to line up with the tile grid and raised or tilted to sit flush with the tile
• Takes tile from 1/4" (6 mm) to 1-1/4" (32 mm) thick
• Includes inside and outside KERDI-KERECK corners and KERDI-SEAL pipe and valve seals
• Low maintenance: the grate lifts out for cleaning the drain body and pipe

Installation Tips

1. Cut the opening for the outlet no larger than 5" (125 mm) so the tile around the drain stays supported.
2. Connect ABS to ABS and PVC to PVC with the right solvent cement; mixing the two plastics breaks plumbing codes.
3. Bed the drain in mortar so the whole bonding flange is supported, then slope the mortar bed to the top of the flange. Over wood, keep at least 1" (25 mm) of mortar at the flange edge.
4. Bond KERDI to the flange and mortar bed with unmodified thin-set (or Schluter SET, ALL-SET or FAST-SET), carrying it to the step in the flange.
5. Set the grate frame with the tile, adjusting it sideways and in height so it sits flush.
