Tools and Materials
Before You Begin
NOTICE: Do not install the valve under a whirlpool surround or any location where the temperature may
exceed 104°F (40°C). The valve and its integrated power supply is rated to operate in temperatures up to
104°F (40°C).
NOTICE: Do not apply excessive heat near the valve or apply flux or acids directly onto the valve. This
valve contains plastic and rubber components which will melt if heat is directly applied.
NOTICE: Do not apply petroleum-based lubricants to the valve components. Doing so will damage the
valve components.
NOTICE: Do not use oil-based, non-setting compounds, such as plumbers putty, on the threaded
connections.

Before You Begin (cont.)
NOTICE: Do not remove the check valves from the inlets as this can damage the product.
NOTICE: If the valve will be used for a bath/shower application, the bath fill supply line must be routed
from the #1 outlet port.
Read these instructions and determine the locations of all required components before beginning
installation. For shower configuration options, refer to the guide on the K-99695 controller product
page at www.us.kohler.com.
If possible, flush all piping thoroughly before installing the valve. If the pipes are flushed after the
valve is installed, clean the inlet screens before using the system.
A qualified electrician should install a 120 V electrical outlet, within the stud framing, in close
proximity to the valve. A GFCI outlet may be required in certain applications.
If possible, install the electrical outlet prior to installing the valve.
Multiple Valve Applications
Showering configurations using large water volumes require supply piping and drain systems that
will sufficiently accommodate the actual total flow rate at any one time.
Hot water generation: Use a water heating system capable of handling large flow rates. Tankless
(on-demand) water heaters and recirculating pumps may not be adequate for your showering
configuration.
