I can very quickly dry cut in new SKUs from my storage unit for an upcoming SIS or demo re-using what I will call my UPOD-E…E being the Schluter code for stainless steel, and my UPOD being constructed of…stainless steel (galvanized steel - but I will call it E anyway). With each demo I can dry fit all shower applications quickly and choose to mortar down one chosen application. This includes recessed showers.  Though this model doesn’t allow to actually recess with sister trusses, I keep 2 pieces of 3/4” OSB with me to demonstrate what this would look like.  Rest shower tray on base ply/RE-Fleece. Rest 1 piece of 3/4” OSB up to shower tray. Explain that this would be the elevation if I had been able to successfully recess the floor. Use flyer or PPT to explain how floors are/can be recessed to bring to this point. Other piece of OSB may need to be used for build up - depending on chosen shower configuration. STANDARD UPOD DIMENSIONS I framed the stainless steel stud UPOD foll...

P2709.1 Construction. Where a shower receptor has a finished curb threshold, it shall be not less than 1 inch (25.4 mm) below the sides and back of the receptor. The curb shall be not less than 2 inches (51 mm) and not more than 9 inches (229 mm) deep when measured from the top of the curb to the top of the drain. The finished floor shall slope uniformly toward the drain not les: than ¼ unit vertical in 12 units horizontal (2-percent slope) nor more than unit vertical per 12 units horizontal (4-percent slope) and floor drains shall be flanged to provide a watertight joint in the floor.   P2709.2 Lining required. The adjoining walls and floor framing enclosing on-site built-up shower receptors shall be lined with one of the following materials: Sheet lead. Sheet copper. Plastic liner material that complies WithASTM D4068 or ASTM D4551. Hot mopping in accordance with Section P2709.2.3.  Sheet-applied load-bearing, bonded waterproof membranes that comply with ANSI A118....

P2503.6 Shower liner test.   Where shower floors and receptors are made watertight by the application of materials required by Section P2709.2, the completed liner installation shall be tested. The pipe from the shower drain shall be plugged watertight for the test. The floor and receptor area shall be filled with potable water to a depth of not less than 2 inches (51 mm) measured at the threshold. Where a threshold of not less than 2 inches (51 mm) in height does not exist, a temporary threshold shall be constructed to retain the test water in the lined floor or receptor area to a level not less than 2 inches (51 mm) in depth measured at the threshold. The water shall be retained for a test period of not less than 15 minutes and there shall not be evidence of leakage.   Copyright © 2024 International Code Council, Inc., or its licensors (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED).

On November 30th, 2023, ANSI A118.18 was approved as a standard for foam core backer boards including KERDI-Board. This Standard will be published in the 2024 book of ANSI Standards for Ceramic Tile installation. ANSI A118.18 for foam boards contains the following requirements: Provided that all requirements of the Schluter System Installation Hanbook and the Schluter KERDI-Board Data Sheet are met, KERDI-Board is a suitable replacement for glass mat gypsum backing panels (ASTM C1178), fiber-reinforced gypsum panels (ASTM C1278), non-asbestos fiber-cement backer boards (ASTM C1288 or ISO 8336, Category C), and non-asbestos fiber mat reinforced cementitious backer units (ASTM C1325) when used as a backer for wall tile in wet areas. Please reach Chris Hill via email for further insight and information regarding this new and exciting development.
