This can create an awkward transition and add extra tile installation work. The DUFR-TF Series installs directly against the back wall and both side walls, eliminating the extra tile strips and creating a seamless wall-to-wall shower floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eI need the drain right up against my shower bench. Which version do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on the bench. If the bench runs the full width of the shower between both side walls, the front of the bench acts as the back wall, and this three-side version installs flush against it and both side walls with no tile gap. If the bench has open space at either end, choose the \u003ca href=\"#\"\u003eBackwall Return Flange Only version\u003c\/a\u003e. Either way, the bench must be framed so the drain can be secured to the studs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this drain need to touch both side walls?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The three-side return flange is designed for wall-to-wall installations. It fits against the back wall and both side walls, so the drain needs to span the full width of the shower with walls on both ends. If your shower does not have walls on both sides, the \u003ca href=\"#\"\u003eBackwall Return Flange Only\u003c\/a\u003e option may be the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I choose the right size linear shower drain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure your rough opening between the finish faces of the framing (stud to stud), not the finished tile opening. The visible grate will be approximately 2\" shorter than the total drain length you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this drain work with my shower waterproofing membrane (Schluter, Laticrete, etc.)?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The DUFR-TF Series is designed to work with both sheet waterproofing systems like Schluter Kerdi and liquid waterproofing like Laticrete Hydroban. It is also compatible with other major systems, including Blanke Aqua-Shield and Mapei. The textured bonding flange creates a tight membrane seal to the drain body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMy shower is a non-standard size. Can I get a custom linear drain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. If your measurement falls outside the standard sizes, request a custom dimension using the \"Request Custom Size\" option. Custom configurations are also available, including side outlet, horizontal side outlet, and 316-grade stainless steel options.
