Tools and Materials

Thank You For Choosing Kohler Company

We appreciate your commitment to Kohler quality. Please take a few

minutes to review this manual before you start installation. If you

encounter any installation or performance problems, please don’t

hesitate to contact us. Our phone numbers and website are listed on

the back cover. Thanks again for choosing Kohler Company.

Before You Begin

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Cast

iron sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

Prior to installation, unpack the new sink and inspect it for

damage. Return the sink to its protective carton until you are

ready to install it.

Inspect the drain and supply tubing. Replace if necessary.

Due to the variety of installations possible with this sink, you

may need to use procedures other than those described. Because

of the variety of tiles available, you must take careful

measurements prior to installation.

It is very important that the proper materials are used with your

sink. Proper selection of tile is critical for a secure installation.

3/8″(1cm) tile is recommended. Because of the variance in tile

thickness, your carpenter, tiler, and plumber must be aware of the

exact type of tile you choose.

Before You Begin (cont.)

After selecting the tile, provide a sample to each contractor

involved in the project. It is very important that the carpenter,

tiler, and plumber maintain communication and discuss the

requirements of the project.

The cabinet and frame shown in these instructions are generic

and may not represent the actual design or structure.

Due to the nature of undercounter installations, Kohler Co.

recommends that undercounter sink installations be performed by

trained and experienced installers.

To ensure proper sink ﬁt in the cabinet and support frame, Kohler

recommends providing the cabinet maker with the actual sink to

be installed.

To ensure a safe and damage-free installation, two people should

install the sink.

Do not use adhesives or adhesive sealants with this product.

1. Preparation

Install the water supplies and drain piping according to the

roughing-in information.

Undercounter Installations

Check to see if the faucet can be completely assembled to the

countertop and the sink.

Determine this by taking the countertop thickness plus the sink

rim thickness, 3/8” (1cm) plus or minus 1/32″(1mm), and

comparing that measurement to the available shank length

between the base of the faucet assembly and the mounting nut. If

the available shank length is the same or longer than needed,

proceed. If not, select a thinner countertop or another faucet.

Tile-In Installations

Tile backer board installed over plywood is the recommended

underlayment for installing this sink. Tile should be bonded to

the backer board with dry set or latex Portland mortar.

Acceptable underlayments include:

•Tile backer board over 3/4″(1.9cm) exterior grade plywood

•3/4″(1.9cm) exterior grade plywood

IMPORTANT! Do not use:

•Flakeboard

•Interior grade plywood

•Gypsum wallboard

Preparation (cont.)

Consult with a tile contractor to determine the material to be

used.

2. Cabinet/Support Frame Construction

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. The

wood support and frame for the sink must sufficiently support

300 lbs. (136 kg) (approximate weight of the cast iron sink when

full and a garbage disposal installed).

Measure the size of the sink, including the apron. The cabinet

opening should equal the maximum sink/apron dimensions to

ensure a minimum gap between the sink and the cabinet.

NOTE: If the sink is not available at the time of installation, make

allowances to add wood ﬁller strips or spacers to the cabinet

opening after the frame and before the sink is installed.

Determine if the sink will be ﬂush with or extend slightly beyond

the front of the cabinet. The sink may extend no more than 1/2”

(1.3cm) beyond the face of the cabinet.

Construct a wood support frame to ﬁt inside the cabinet opening.

Allow adequate clearance for the faucet assemblies and the sink

basin.

3. Support Frame Installation

Tile-In Installations

This sink is designed to be installed ﬂush with or slightly lower

than the surrounding tile. Measure and compare the thickness of

the sink rim and tile. The rim thickness on this sink is 3/8” (1cm)

plus or minus 1/32” (1mm). Take these measurements into

consideration when determining support frame placement

(Dimension “H”). Because of the varying thickness of the tile and

sink, or if adhesive or mortar bed installation is used, you may

need to make allowances to shim the sink, or route the

underlayment as required.

Undercounter and Solid Surface Installations

Position the support frame in the cabinet opening so that when

installed, the top of the sink will be level and ﬂush with the top

of the cabinet (Dimension H).

All Installations

NOTE: Ensure that the securing hardware will not penetrate

through the cabinet walls.

Secure the support frame to the cabinet. Position the securing

hardware to allow for easy removal should the sink need to be

removed or replaced.

4. Tile-In Installation

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Cast

iron sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.

Verify that the sink will ﬁt in the cabinet opening. If necessary,

sand the opening or add wood ﬁller strips.

Install the strainer or garbage disposal to the sink according to

the manufacturer’s instruction.

Install the faucet to the sink according to the manufacturer’s

instructions.

Apply a 1” (2.5cm) spot of sealant at each corner of the frame

where it will contact the sink.

NOTE: If using shims, additional sealant will be needed.

Carefully position the sink within the frame, making sure to

center the sink in the cabinet.

Optional: Apply sealant between the cabinet and the apron.

Verify that the sink is level. Adjust or shim between the sink and

support if needed.

Install the tile. To absorb vibration from a garbage disposal, apply

sealant between the sink and tile directly next to the sink rim.

This will prevent the grout around the sink from cracking.

Allow the sealant to cure for at least 30 minutes before

proceeding.

Tile-In Installation (cont.)

Connect and tighten the trap to the strainer, and complete the

water supply connections to the faucet according to the

instructions packed with the faucet.

Run water into the sink and check for leaks.

Clean up with a non-abrasive cleaner.

5. Undercounter/Solid Surface Preparation

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product damage. Cast

iron sinks are very heavy. Get help lifting the sink into place.

NOTE: Instructions in this section are for both undercounter and

solid surface installation. Any differences are noted in the text.

Verify that the sink will ﬁt in the cabinet opening. If necessary,

sand the opening or add wood ﬁller strips.

For solid surface installation, install the faucet to the sink

according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Install the strainer or garbage disposal to the sink according to

the manufacturer’s instructions.

Apply a 1” (2.5cm) spot of sealant at each corner of the frame

where it will contact the sink.

NOTE: If using shims additional sealant will be needed.

Carefully position the sink within the frame, making sure to

center the sink in the cabinet.

Optional: Apply sealant between the cabinet and the apron.

Verify that the sink is level. The top of the sink should be ﬂush

with the top of the cabinet to allow proper countertop

installation. Adjust or shim between the sink and support if

needed.

Due to the various cut-out sizes possible, a template is not

supplied. If using the K-5984 cutting board, the minimum cut-out

length is 31″(78.7cm).
