Schluter Introduces KERDI-LINE-A and the Redesigned KERDI-DRAIN-A Adaptor Kits
When building or remodeling homes, time, labor and cost are always top of mind—especially for bathrooms. In gyms and spas, each day the shower facilities are down represents money lost, so getting the job done fast is key.
Schluter-Systems now makes it easier than ever to upgrade shower drains without tearing out the existing drainage system. Meet the KERDI-LINE-A, Schluter’s first adaptor kit for linear drains, and the newly redesigned KERDI-DRAIN-A, now compatible with even more clamping-ring style drains. Now, you can refresh shower spaces in condos, spas or gyms by integrating Schluter drains into existing drain assemblies with no demolition needed.

KERDI-LINE-A: A New Era for Linear Drains
Convert clamping-ring drains into sleek linear channels. The precision adaptor ring, with an over-molded gasket and multiple hole patterns, secures with original bolts and KERDI-FIX sealant. The KERDI-LINE channel outlet then slides in for a seamless, watertight fit, creating a continuous floor plane.

Redesigned KERDI-DRAIN-A: Broader Compatibility
Now fitting even more clamping-ring configurations, KERDI-DRAIN-A is offered in 5-1/2" (140 mm) and 7-1/2" (191 mm) sizes. Refined hole patterns and gasket profile ensure reliable retrofits: swap out the old ring, secure the adaptor with KERDI-FIX, and insert the bonding flange for a durable, leak-proof connection.
Key Benefits:
- Zero demolition—avoid dust, debris and disposal
- Rapid installation in hours, not days
- Expanded compatibility with two-stage drains
- Lasting watertight performance
- Design freedom: point or linear drains
- Significant labor and cost savings
Whether you’re specifying a luxury condo build-out or streamlining a spa remodel, KERDI-LINE-A and the updated KERDI-DRAIN-A deliver efficient, elegant drainage retrofits. With these adaptor kits, you can now choose between the sleek linear channels of KERDI-LINE or the customizable point-drain solutions of KERDI-DRAIN, complete with a variety of grate patterns and finishes to suit any design vision.
