Sometimes there's already a drain — with a clamping ring, a traditional bonded membrane connection, or another non-KERDI flange — and you need to convert it to work with the KERDI waterproofing system. That's exactly what the KERDI-DRAIN-A Adaptor Flange Kit is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe KERDI-DRAIN-A adaptor kit equips existing clamping ring-type shower drains with a KERDI-compatible bonding flange. Instead of removing the entire drain body from the plumbing rough-in (which can be a major undertaking in a slab or finished floor), you adapt what's there to accept KERDI membrane waterproofing. The 7-1\/2\" ABS flange is for larger drain openings in the floor assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen you use this instead of a full KERDI-DRAIN\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemodeling an existing shower with an existing drain body that's still functional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlab construction where replacing the drain body would mean concrete demo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConverting a traditional membrane shower to KERDI waterproofing while keeping existing plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny situation where the drain stub can't practically be changed, but the waterproofing system needs to be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adaptor kit installs over or into the existing drain opening. Its bonding flange — covered in fleece, just like a full KERDI-DRAIN body — provides the surface for the KERDI waterproofing membrane to bond into mortar. Once installed, the KERDI membrane laps onto the flange in exactly the same way as a standard KERDI-DRAIN installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat it pairs with\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKERDI membrane (for full floor\/wall waterproofing system)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKERDI-DRAIN grate kits — Classic 4\", Contour, Trendline, or Tile styles — select separately based on grate opening size compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKERDI-DRAIN-A with 4\" SS grate (also available as a bundled kit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePro Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify the existing drain diameter and outlet type before ordering — the 7-1\/2\" refers to the outer diameter of the adaptor flange, not the outlet pipe size.
