26 INSTALLATION — Shower base with Schluter

-KERDI-DRAIN

Remove the clamping ring from the installed

drain and save the bolts. Align the bolt

pattern of the clamping ring with the adaptor

ring and punch the matching inserts through

the adaptor ring.

Apply a 1/4" - 3/8" (6 mm - 10 mm) bead

of KERDI-FIX to the installed drain flange.

Place the adaptor ring on the installed

drain, re-insert the bolts, and tighten evenly.

Make bolts finger-tight plus 1/4 turn;

over tightening may warp the ring and result

in leaks.

Slide the adaptor flange into the adaptor ring

and ensure full support under the adaptor

flange with mortar. The mortar bed is then

placed according to the instructions on

page 25.

If necessary, cut the KERDI-BOARD-SC to length using a utility knife and KERDI-SHOWER-SC/-SR using a handsaw.
