Schluter Drain Grate Assembly Explained. Schluter systems bathroom start to finish, Part 6 Kerdi Drain grate assembly and shower floor The Schluter Kerdi Drain grate assembly has three components that are put together to form the grate of the shower floor drain and installed with the tile on the drain bonding flange. The Kerdi drain grate when assembled has some room for adjustment, both height and position. The grate is installed at the same time as the shower floor tile and positioned to the most desirable location within the tile grid. The height of the drain is also adjusted so that the top of the grate is exactly even with the tile floor surface or just slightly below. This is done to avoid water pooling at the drain assembly. The bottom part of the grate assembly must be fully packed in thinset to insure that it is locked in place. With a small shower floor, as in this video, I usually will lay all the tile and dry fit the entire floor and then install the tile with thinset so as to not have to stop to cut and fit tile. All tile installed by Sal DiBlasi, Elite-tile Company, in the Boston North Shore area.

Thanks Sal! First video I’ve seen that explains the height of the drain grate. You are the best brother!

@SalDiBlasi 8 месяцев назад

Glad to help

@michaelcharach 2 года назад

What a mystery box they send you…. Your video helped us figure out how the drain parts go together. What is the screw hole on the bottom of the grate used for?? Mine (floral design) doesn’t screw down.

@eloycavazos2816 9 лет назад

@riverdog8796 3 месяца назад

Those cuts are only 1/4 or 5/16 thick. Would have been better/cleaner to just center drain and have a 3/16 continuous joint around grate with all full tiles..........

@CJD44 Месяц назад

Yeah 6 of one half dozen the other. He would’ve had twice as much cutting to do on the outside perimeter. Drain appearance is important. Usually not so much on a 3 x 3. Still great video.

@riverdog8796 Месяц назад

@@CJD44 The schluter drain moves 1/2 inch all directions. Outer cuts would not change at all

@CJD44 Месяц назад

@@riverdog8796 the Schluter drain only moves a half inch and all directions in the perfect environment. Not all drains line up… could be agains a joist. misfed plumbing, etc. you never know what someone has to go through in their own install if they don’t show you everything from start to finish. And I guarantee you one thing every job you have done hasn’t been perfect.. so why hate on the video. Why even watch it if you’re so good and perfect? How many years do you have over this guy?

@CJD44 Месяц назад

@@riverdog8796 i’m just wrapping up a bathroom now that’s completely Kerri in a 1955 home and the Schlueter drain did not give me any room for adjustment at all. Can send photos if you like not every job is perfect. Sometimes you have to go within this environment of standards if you watch the videos on RU-vid, you will see this especially the guy with the red brick house, you’re not gonna move exterior brick walls. And some peoples budget does not allow them to buy 25% or even more tile to make things centered of course all that material factors on the size of the job and how perfect they can afford it. Flawless cost more time which is labor also known as expensive or affordable

@victoravila2518 6 лет назад

Hi Sal, thanks for these great videos. I’v pretty much completed a full bathroom renovation, predominantly with your help via RU-vid. I installed this shower drain and now that I have the finished shower, I’ve noticed that when any pressure is applied to the drain grate, that itSqueaks Ever so slightly. The drain itself is cemented down perfectly, but the squeaking Is coming from the screws that keep the drain grate down. It feels like the screws are just not holding strong enough.Any thoughts on that?

@SalDiBlasi 5 лет назад

Interesting, not sure what it can be, but call your Schluter rep, or their help line, they can probably help.

@luiscostabile6036 9 месяцев назад

the ring that comes with the grate has two larger holes, these two holes should be aligned with the two screws on the grate, reason being, the screws don't touch the ring. Try removing the two screws, does the squeek go away, if so, cut the screws slightly.

@jonathanbell9349 3 года назад

What if you use the LFT cement which is polymer modified?

@SalDiBlasi 3 года назад

LFT does not necessarily mean modified, it is more a property of the mortar. Since this video was made there have been advancements in thinset technology and Schluter now make their own thinsets, both modified and unmodified.

Is there no weep holes in a Keri system?

@SalDiBlasi 9 лет назад

Joe B The traditional shower system with a vinyl pan liner is a "water in, water out " type of system, the water that gets into the mud, filters through it down to the pan liner and out the weep holes. The Schluter system is completely different in that the waterproofing is directly under the tile, so the mud always stays dry and all the water goes down the drain.

@zipyourlib8370 4 года назад

Yo Joe, yes & us Tile installers call this "Kerdi pan & drain system" the "Suicide Pan" or Titanic.... (',

@eugenesokol9138 9 лет назад

What size of trowel did you use?

@SalDiBlasi 9 лет назад

***** Trowel size depends not only on the size of the tile, but also the thickness and flatness on the back of the tile. But generally the bigger the tile the bigger the trowel, in this case i think it was a 1/4"x1/4" square notch.

@eugenesokol9138 9 лет назад

What size of trowel would you recommend for 2"x2" mosaic with 3/16 thickness?

@SalDiBlasi 9 лет назад

***** Try a v-notch or a small square notch trowel, Like a ditra trowel, if you get good coverage then continue with that, if you find that the coverage is not what it should be, move to a deeper trowel.
