FLOOR DRAINS FOR BONDED WATERPROOF MEMBRANES

Schluter

-KERDI-DRAIN and Schluter

KERDI-LINE floor drains provide a

simple and secure connection to bonded

waterproof membranes at the top of the

assembly via an integrated bonding flange.

Thus, the membrane is applied entirely at

the surface, with all water directed into the

top of the drain.

Application and Function

Schluter

-KERDI-DRAIN and Schluter

-KERDI-

LINE are specifically designed for use in

bonded waterproofing assemblies, such as

showers, steam rooms, wet rooms, bathroom

floors, commercial kitchen floors and other

applications that require waterproofing and

drainage.

8.2 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. KERDI-DRAIN ADAPTOR

KITS, available in 5-1/4" (133 mm) and 7-1/2"

(191 mm) diameter sizes, are used to convert

traditional clamping ring drains to integrated

bonding flange drains when removal of the

clamping ring drain is not practical (e.g., when

they are set in concrete slabs). Adaptor kits

are suitable for both mortar beds and KERDI-

SHOWER-T/-TS/-TT shower tray applications.

The KERDI-DRAIN grate assembly consists

of a frame, which can be seamlessly adjusted

to the thickness and layout of the ceramic tile

or stone covering via the height adjustment

The 4" (100 mm) standard grate assembly frame features an approximately 1/8" (3 mm) wide reveal after installation and grate/ frame combinations are available in stainless steel with plain, chrome, nickel, classic gold, vintage gold, rose gold, or oil-rubbed bronze finish and anodized aluminum with brushed nickel, brushed copper, or brushed brass finish.

FLOOR DRAINS Metallic-coated grates are stainless steel 304 with a metallic coating created using physical vapor deposition (PVD). The resulting metallic film is very hard and corrosion-resistant. Textured color-coated grates are stainless steel with a powder coat. Anodized aluminum grates feature an anodized layer that retains a uniform appearance during normal use. The surface may be damaged by grout or setting material. Therefore, these materials must be removed immediately.
