Installation Guide

SHOWER ASSEMBLY — Shower base with Schluter
®
-KERDI-LINE 29
Apply 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
Insert the plastic height adjustment spacers
with threaded bolts under 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.
2
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 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.
1
Insert the tile spacers into the channel body.
Install the surrounding tile on the adjoining
walls and shower base up to the spacers
using unmodified thin-set mortar, ensuring
full coverage. Remove all excess setting
material.
2
Covering support D
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 using unmodified thin-
set mortar. 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.

Grate assembly
Install the tiles on the shower base using
unmodified thin-set mortar, ensuring full
coverage. Make final adjustments to ensure the
grate frame is flush with the surrounding tiles.
