Application and function
Schlüter-KERDI-LINE-VARIO is a flexible multi-piece linear drainage system for creating floor-level showers with ceramic tiles or natural stone.
The two-piece horizontal KERDI-LINEVARIO drain unit comprises a drain body and a drain adapter. The drain body consists of an ultra-slim, wave shaped drain that is rotatable by 360° and a built-in odour trap. The wave shaped design achieves a high flow rate within the floor drain, which results in a self-cleaning effect.
The drain adapter with integrated Schlüter- KERDI-FLEX collar comes fully inserted into the sealed wave shaped drain and is secured with a clamping ring. The wave shaped drain can be rotated by 360° when the clamping ring is released, which makes the drainage system adaptable to any connection configuration in the existing building. Two design drainage profiles are available for KERDI-LINE-VARIO. These can be variably cut to size, are height adjustable and are shipped with 2 matching end caps.
Schlüter-KERDI-LINE-VARIO COVE is a 120 cm cove-shaped drainage profile that can be variably cut to size. It features a visible drain slot of 8 mm in a length of 140 mm. It is available in brushed stainless steel V4A or powder coated aluminium with a textured TRENDLINE finish.
Schlüter-KERDI-LINE-VARIO WAVE is a 120 cm W-shaped drainage profile that can be variably cut to size. It features a visible drain slot of 14 mm in a length of 140 mm, which can be concealed from view with a removable panel. It is also available in brushed stainless steel V4A or powder coated aluminium with a textured TRENDLINE finish.
The pre-adhered flexible KERDI collar integrated into the drain adapter ensures the reliable connection of the drain body to the bonded waterproofing assembly, both in the floor area and on upright walls. It is securely covered by a transparent protective lid.
In conjunction with the waterproofing systems Schlüter-KERDI, Schlüter-DITRA 25, Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT or Schlüter-KERDIBOARD and the matching system adhesives Schlüter-KERDI-COLL-L or Schlüter- KERDI-FIX, installers can create certified bonded waterproofing assemblies with connecting linear drainage. KERDI-LINE is a system component that complies with the German waterproofing standard DIN 18534. Together with the above-listed Schlütersystems it has general technical approval (abP) in Germany.
Please refer to the respective product data sheets for information about the moisture exposure classes according to abP. Schlüter-KERDI-LINE is a system component with European Technical Assessment (ETA) according to ETAG 022 (watertight covering kits). Schlüter products tested together with KERDI-LINE bear the CE mark.
Note:
Due to the variable drain construction, KERDI-LINE-VARIO requires the installation of a sloped screed. The surface of the screed must be waterproofed with DITRA 25 (see product data sheet 6.1) or DITRA-HEAT (see product data sheet 6.4). Schlüter-SHOWERPROFILE-S and -R (see product data sheet 14.1) are supplementary components for creating a floor or wall connection. SHOWERPROFILE-S has a triangular design to conceal the sloped lateral edges of floor level showers. Waterproof the surrounding walls with KERDI (see product data sheet 8.1) or create a bonded waterproofing assembly with KERDI-BOARD (see product data sheet 12.1).
