Is the drain grate included?

No. The kit ships without a grate, so you choose and order the finish separately.

Can it be used in a steam shower?

Yes. The KERDI membrane makes the assembly vapor-tight, and Schluter rates it for residential steam showers.

What drain pipe does the flange fit?

The KERDI-DRAIN flange solvent-cements to a 2 in ABS waste line. A PVC line needs the matching adapter.

Does the tray come pre-sloped?

Yes. The EPS foam tray arrives with the slope built in toward the drain.

Yes. The kit includes a KERDI-BOARD shower curb along with the tray, membrane, band, corners and seals.

Can I put the drain off-center?

Only the 38 x 60 tray offers an off-set outlet; the 48 x 48 tray is center-drain.
