INSTALLATION — Shower base with Schluter

-KERDI-DRAIN 25

Grate:

Place the height adjustment collar inside the

lateral adjustment ring and snap the grate into

place. Note: For the 6" (150 mm) grates, the

height adjustment collar is integrated with the

grate. For the residential adaptor kit, there is no

lateral adjustment ring.

Fill the step in the bonding flange with thin-set

mortar and back-butter the underside of the

grate to ensure full support. Place the assembly

into the mortar and install the surrounding tiles,

ensuring full coverage.

Position the grate to match the joint pattern of

the tile covering and press flush with the tile

surface. Remove all excess setting material

immediately. Note: Protect the visible surface of

the grate from contact with setting and grouting

materials. In particular, anodized aluminum is

sensitive to alkaline materials.

Tileable Covering Support:

Fill the step in the bonding flange with

thin-set mortar. Place the tile spacer in the

lateral adjustment ring and press the assembly

into the mortar. Install tiles up to the tile spacer,

ensuring full coverage. Embed the tiles on

the integrated tabs on the lateral adjustment

ring, which provide for a flush transition to

the covering support. Position the tile spacer

to match the joint pattern of the tile covering.

The tiles may be held back from the spacer

as required to match the layout. Remove all

excess setting material.

Apply tile to the top of the covering support

using unmodified thin-set mortar. The tile

may overhang the covering support provided

that a drainage opening of at least 3/16"

(5 mm) is provided.

After the tile is set and grouted, remove the tile

spacer and insert the tiled covering support into

the lateral adjustment ring.
