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. 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

The KERDIDRAIN 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.

FLOOR DRAINS Installation The installation instructions below represent the use of KERDI-DRAIN and KERDI-LINE in floor applications. Installation instructions for the use of KERDI-DRAIN and KERDILINE in shower applications can be found in the Schluter®-Shower System Installation Handbook. KERDI-DRAIN Preparation After locating the correct position, cut a hole in the substrate for the drain outlet and coupling to the waste line using the template provided.

FLO OR DR AINS Note: When using the stainless steel bonding flange, the KERDI is bonded to the integrated bonding flange with KERDI-FIX adhesive/sealant. The stainless steel bonding flange must be clean and free of grease or other contaminants prior to KERDI-FIX application. 3. Embed a 20" x 20" (50 x 50 cm) cut section of KERDI in the bond coat and work the membrane onto the KERDIDRAIN bonding flange and surrounding membrane to ensure full coverage and remove air pockets.
