Installation

1. To fasten the Schluter-BARA-RTP edging profile, drill holes, 5/16" (8 mm) in diameter, into the front edge of the floor covering at approximately 20" (50 cm) intervals. To align with the holes provided in the profile, Schluter-BARA-RTP can be placed against the front edge and used as a drilling template.
2. After inserting the anchors, the Schluter-BARA-RTP edging profile should be fastened with Schluter-BARA-RTPS 540 special bolts. To properly fasten Schluter-BARA-RTP to the front edge of the flooring, it is advisable, beforehand, to fill the rear section of the edging profile with thin-set mortar.
3. Once Schluter-BARA-RTP has been mounted, the Schluter-BARIN gutter system can be attached. To do this, fasten the Schluter-BARIN gutter to the Schluter-BARA-RTP edging profile with screws. Schluter-BARIN features slotted holes for establishing the proper slope.
4. Please note: Prefabricated corners and connectors are available for inside corners, outside corners, and butt joints. Abut the ends of Schluter-BARA-RTP, leaving an approx. 3/16" joint. Cover the joint with the clip-on connector.
5. Applicable standards and installation guidelines, in effect at the time, must be observed. All materials must be weather- and water-resistant and suitable for exterior use.
