Schluter®-KERDI-SHOWER-KIT
Material
Schluter-KERDI is a polyethylene waterproofing membrane with a very low vapor permeance of 0.75 perms. The material is physiologically safe. Schluter-KERDI requires no special disposal. Schluter-KERDI is waterproof and resistant to most chemicals commonly encountered in tiled environments. It is resistant to aging and will not rot. Schluter-KERDI is highly resistant to saline solutions, acid and alkaline solutions, many organic solvents, alcohols, and oils. Information regarding its resistance to specific substances can be
provided if concentration, temperature, and duration of exposure are known. For acid resistant coverings, use an epoxy adhesive
to set and grout the tile.
Schluter-KERDI meets the American National Standard for Load Bearing,
Bonded, Waterproof Membranes for Thin-Set Ceramic Tile and Dimension Stone Installations (ANSI A118.10) and is listed by
cUPC®.
The drain casing material is selected to match the plumbing system and attached using ABS or PVC cement. The simple connection to standard drain outlets makes KERDI-DRAIN suitable for new construction and renovation. The height adjustment collar, lateral adjustment ring, and strainer are made of ABS.
The grate is available in stainless steel 304 (1.4301 = V2A) and in anodized aluminum with a brushed copper bronze, brushed brass, or brushed nickel finish.
Schluter-KERDI-DRAIN is listed by UPC (IGC 195-2004), CSA (B79-94), and NSF (SE AD 130-007 and SE AD 130-0011). For copies of the above listings, please contact Schluter-Systems at (800) 472- 4588 (USA) or (800) 667-8746 (CAN) or by e-mail at info@schluter.com.
