Description

Schluter-KERDI-DRAIN is a floor drain specifically designed to allow connections to Schluter-KERDI or other load-bearing, bonded waterproof membranes. The membrane is adhered to the large integrated bonding flange to form a waterproof connection at the top of the drain assembly.

KERDI-DRAIN consists of a drain casing and fully adjustable grate assembly or covering support to which tile is applied. The grate assembly accommodates a wide range of tile thicknesses and allows lateral and tilt adjustment as well. The covering support is placed flush with the top of the bonding flange and can therefore accommodate any thickness tile covering.

The standard KERDI-DRAIN is attached directly to the waste line. The drain casing is available in ABS, PVC, or stainless steel. The plastic drain casings feature a fleece-covered bonding flange. They are available with standard 2″ (50 mm) and 3″ (75 mm) outlets and attached to the pipe using an appropriate solvent cement. The stainless steel drain casings are available with standard 2″ (50 mm) and 3″ (75 mm) no-hub outlets and 2″ (50 mm) threaded outlet. The no-hub outlets are attached to the pipe using an appropriate mechanical (e.g., flexible or no-hub) coupling. The threaded outlets are attached to the pipe using thread sealing compound or tape. The simple connection to standard drain outlets makes KERDI-DRAIN suitable for new construction and renovation.

The KERDI-DRAIN adaptor kit is designed to convert clamping ring drains by equipping them with an integrated bonding flange. The adaptor kit includes a stainless steel adaptor ring with an over-molded rubber gasket and a variety of perforated hole patterns that align with most common clamping ring shower drains. The adaptor ring replaces the clamping ring and is attached to the drain body using the clamping ring bolts. This connection is made watertight via the rubber gasket and Schluter-KERDI-FIX adhesive/sealant. The integrated bonding flange slides into the adaptor ring, with the over-molded rubber gasket ensuring a watertight seal. Commercial KERDI-DRAIN adaptor kits feature a 7-1/2″ (191 mm) diameter adaptor ring and are available with a stainless steel bonding flange or an ABS bonding flange. The ABS bonding flange is available in two sizes (standard or extended length) to accommodate different tile assembly thicknesses. The residential KERDI-DRAIN adaptor kit features a 5-1/4″ (133 mm) diameter adaptor ring and an ABS bonding flange. The KERDI-DRAIN adaptor kit is particularly useful in renovations where the clamping ring drains are difficult to replace with the standard KERDI-DRAIN (e.g., when they are set in concrete slabs).

The grate assembly consists of a height adjustment collar, lateral adjustment ring, and drain grate or covering support. The grates are installed in conjunction with a height adjustment collar and lateral adjustment ring, which are made of ABS or stainless steel, to allow for simple and convenient adjustment when setting the tile. Drain grates are available in stainless steel with a polished or oil-rubbed bronze finish and in anodized aluminum with a brushed copper, brushed brass, or brushed nickel finish. The polished stainless steel grates are available in 4″ (100 mm) -square, 6″ (150 mm) -square and -round versions. All other grates are available in the 4″ (100 mm) -square version only. Please note that grate assemblies included with the plastic KERDI-DRAIN featuring 3″ (75 mm) outlets and the residential adaptor kits only allow vertical and tilt adjustment (no lateral adjustment). The covering support is a 4″ (100 mm) -square stainless steel plate with KERDI laminated on the surface to allow for bonding of ceramic or stone tile, which creates a virtually invisible drainage line.
