Is the drain grate included?

No. The kit ships without a grate, so you pick a Schluter KERDI-DRAIN grate separately to match your tile and finish.

What drain line does it connect to?

The KERDI-DRAIN flange is ABS and solvent-cements to a 2-inch ABS waste line. Check your local plumbing material before ordering.

Can I cut the tray to fit my shower?

Yes, but only per Schluter's handbook. Trimming edges can change the slope, so keep cuts to the perimeter and support the tray fully.

Does it work for a steam shower?

Yes. Schluter lists it for residential steam showers because the KERDI membrane forms a vapor-tight assembly when sealed per the handbook.

What subfloor does the foam tray need?

A flat, solid, structurally sound subfloor. The EPS tray follows the floor, so low spots show up as flex and poor drainage.

The pre-sloped tray, KERDI membrane, KERDI-BAND, inside and outside corners, pipe and mixing-valve seals, KERDI-BOARD curbs and the KERDI-DRAIN flange. The grate is not included.

What people mention

WaterproofingPraisedInstallers say the bonded KERDI membrane and band give a continuous, trustworthy waterproof layer.
InstallationPraisedOwners report the pre-sloped tray and included seals cut install time compared with a mud bed.
Drain grateCriticisedBuyers dislike that the grate is not in the box and has to be chosen and ordered separately.
Tray rigidityMixedThe foam tray is fine on a flat subfloor but flexes and needs support where the floor is uneven.
Cutting fitMixedTrimming the tray to out-of-square walls takes care and can affect the edge slope.

About the Schluter Shower System 48 x 60

The Schluter Shower System 48 x 60 is a complete waterproofing kit for building a tiled shower. The tray measures 48 inches by 60 inches (122 cm by 122 cm) and is made of high-strength expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam. It is pre-sloped and stands 1-3/32 inches high, with the drain in the center.

The kit uses the KERDI bonded waterproofing system. It includes a KERDI-DRAIN bonding flange made of ABS with a 2-inch (50 mm) outlet, which connects to an ABS waste line with solvent cement. KERDI-BAND strips seal the seams. KERDI-KERECK preformed inside and outside corners, a KERDI-SEAL-PS pipe seal and a KERDI-SEAL-MV mixing valve seal are included, along with KERDI-BOARD shower curbs.

The system is used for standard tiled showers and residential steam showers. It is installed as a bonded assembly following the Schluter Shower System Installation Handbook. The drain grate is not included and is ordered separately.
