KERDI-Line VARIO | Did you know?

Image
VARIO is suitable for commercial. KERDI-LINE-VARIO has a standard 2" NPT threaded outlet and is supplied with 2" PVC and ABS adapters in the flange kit to assist in connecting to the most common types of 2" Drain Waste Vent (DWV) infrastructure. The outlet diameter of the drain flange was designed to meet section 408.4 of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), and is in conformance with the ASME A112.18.2/CSA B125.2 standard. Adhering to the aforementioned code and standard allowed for the certification of KERDI-LINE-VARIO with ICC-ES (PMG-1204) and IAPMO (File 4591) certifying bodies. VARIO meets the minimum requirements of the EPA standard 2.5 GPM flow rate, and actually exceeds this value by nearly 2x before the water level exceeds 1/4" depth at a distance of 12" from the drain. After this point, KERDI-LINE-VARIO will continue to drain, but due to the way it manages the water, the depth will be greater than 1/4" at a distance of 12" from the grate. VARIO

Thin-set Mortar Update | New Water Range Recommendation

Image
    Please be advised of the following changes to our thin-set, which affects the cementitious portion of our formulas, as well as the water range recommendations for mixing Schluter SET and ALL-Set. LOWER CARBON FOOTPRINT In line with our commitment to sustainability, our thin-set formulas now incorporate Portland Limestone Cement (PLC). By replacing a portion of Ordinary Portland Cement with limestone during the grinding process, we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and promote a more sustainable manufacturing process, all while maintaining comparable final strength—aligning with industry-wide initiatives for a greener construction sector.   WATER RANGE RECOMMENDATIONS   Due to the PLC transition and additive changes, new water range recommendations have been put in place to maintain product performance. The table below reflects old vs new water range recommendations per bag for SET and ALL-Set by application type.      It is important to read the bag before use as old mater
