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).

LONG-TERM VISION Conscious of our impact on the environment, we made every effort to limit the use of energy and water utilities and implement measures that ensure the long-term sustainability of ...

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.

PLANNING ⚠️ DITRA-HEAT is not for exterior applications.  ⚠️ DITRA-HEAT is not designed as primary heat source.  For more information on using DITRA-HEAT as primary heat, click here . For access to the DITRA-HEAT Online Estimator, click here . Select DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO membrane according to the size of the area to be tiled. Use DUO for assemblies over concrete subfloors. Though not required, it is recommended as it will improve the performance of the floor by preventing the concrete for competing for the heat. The maximum level of thermal insulation under the subfloor to which DITRA-HEAT can be installed is R20 (or Rsi 3.5). For the applicable heating cable spacing for your application, see the Spacing Details section in the Warnings section (pages 20-21). For buffer zone planning see the Warnings section (page 20-21) under Spacing Details. When measuring the area to be heated, be sure to measure accurately. The heating cable CANNOT be cut to fit. See the Spacin...
