1. Adhere Schlüter-ECK-K to finished wall corners with the installation adhesive Schlüter-KERDI-FIX or an equivalent material. Apply a bead of adhesive to the back of the profile anchoring legs before pushing them onto the edge or corner of the wall covering so the lateral edges make solid contact. Remove any substances that may inhibit bonding, such as grease, prior to applying the installation adhesive.
2. Remove any excess adhesive that has squeezed out from underneath the profile anchoring legs with a suitable cleaning product.
3. Then remove the protective film.

Schlüter-ECK-K is available in the following materials:

• E = stainless steel
  • V2A, material no. 1.4301 = AISI 304
  • V4A, material no. 1.4404 = AISI 316L (ECK-K only)

The visible surfaces of the profile are covered with a protective film.

Material properties and areas of application

The suitability of the proposed profile types must be verified based on the anticipated chemical, mechanical and/or other stresses.

ECK-K is made of roll formed V2A (material no. 1.4301) or V4A (material no. 1.4404) stainless steel. It is particularly well suited for applications that, in addition to heavy mechanical stresses, require resistance to chemicals such acidic or alkaline media and detergents.

Depending on the anticipated stresses, customers can choose between the alloy materials 1.4301 (V2A) or 1.4404 (V4A) for ECK-K. The use of V4A is recommended if consistent exposure is expected, for example in the case of swimming pools (fresh water). Even stainless steel of quality V4A is not resistant to all chemical stresses such as hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid or certain chloride and brine concentrations. In certain cases, this also applies to seawater pools. The anticipated stresses should therefore be verified in advance.
