, or unmodified thin-set mortar to the
underside of the grate frame and place it
in the channel body ensuring full coverage
and support of the frame. Insert the foam
spacers in the grate frame to reinforce it
during the remainder of the installation.
1
Slide the plastic height adjustment spacers
with threaded bolts onto the tabs along
the inside of the grate frame to adjust the
elevation of the frame such that the surface
of the frame will be flush with the surface
of the tile covering. The spacers may be
adjusted simply by turning the bolts by hand.

Note: Protect the visible surfaces of the grate frame and grate from contact with setting and grouting materials. Setting and grouting materials must be
removed immediately.
Grates A and B
Peel the protective foil off the cover strip
and adhere the strip to the bonding flange
adjacent to the wall(s). Position the strip
along the edge of the channel. The cover
strip hides and protects the KERDI surface
under the tile installed in step 3.
When the shower base will be tiled beyond
the ends of the channel, the cover strip is not
required at these locations.

Insert the tile spacers into the channel
body. Install the surrounding tile on the
adjoining walls and shower base up to the
spacers using Schluter SET

ensuring full coverage. Remove all excess
setting material.

Covering support D
Tile is bonded to the covering support using
Schluter SET

, FAST-SET
TM
, or
unmodified thin-set mortar. The tile is installed
flush with the front side of the covering
support to provide the drainage opening and
overhanging the back side of the covering
support to cover the bonding flange along the
wall. When the ends of the channel body are
located adjacent to walls, the tile is installed
overhanging the end of the support to cover
the bonding flange along the walls. Measure
and cut the tile such that an approximate
1/16" (1 mm) gap is left at the walls.
Note: When the shower base is tiled beyond
the ends of the channel, the tile on the ends
of the covering support can be cut to either
match the grout joints of the surrounding floor
covering or to provide a perimeter drainage
opening.
