We have all of the pertinent listings and approvals and are in the process of putting them on the website. I've attached the pdfs of our listings, and links to the IAPMO website where they can be found as well. 0008287 & 0008288 are for the drain and 0008312 is for the shower kit.

Here are links to the UPC certification listings for Schluter's Kerdi and Ditra membranes, AND the Kerdi-Drain.

• Kerdi/Ditra membranes - UPC Listing Certificate
• Kerdi-Drain - UPC Listing Certificate

Additionally, here is a current International Code Council (ICC) evaluation report detailing the use of both Ditra and Kerdi as a waterproofing membrane. The report is dated August, 2011 and is subject to renewal in two years.

In summary, the use of Ditra and Kerdi as a waterproof membrane is in compliance with the International Building Code (IBC), the International Residential Code (IRC), and the International Plumbing Code (IPC).

I came across the following resources while conducting research for my master bath renovation. I did not see these links in the Codes reference thread in the Liberry and thought that they may be useful for others looking for copies of the various building codes.

The following link at Public.Resource.org contains a table with codes adopted by each state and links to PDF versions of most codes:
https://law.resource.org/pub/us/code/safety.html

An additional source for this information is Archive.Org. The files located here are not as well organized as the previous link, but some of the codes listed here are available in alternate formats including Kindle and EPUB.

I use this guy's site when I need to look up code clearances for bathrooms and such. Plus there's picutures!

Here's a link to Chapter 7 of the 2012 IPC which covers all things Sanitary Drainage.

One of the most common questions we get is about the required drain plumbing size when converting from a tub to a shower. If the photo below is too small to read, it's found in Section 709 of the link above.
