Tools and Materials

Before You Begin

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. This product is a diverter

valve only and should never be used as a shut-off valve. Doing

so would allow cross ﬂow between the hot and cold water

supplies and create a serious scalding hazard.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

Shut off the main water supply.

Provide an access panel for all installations.

This diverter can be installed to decks with a maximum thickness

of 1-1/4″(3.2 cm).

Carefully inspect waste and supply tubing for any sign of

damage. Replace if needed.

NOTE: Plumbing codes may require a vacuum breaker be installed

in-line to handshowers. Please consult with local plumbing codes. If

a vacuum breaker is required, ensure that it is not installed between

the handshower high pressure and interlock hoses.

Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of

products without notice, as speciﬁed in the Price Book.

The small port is for the supplied handshower hose.

The port directly opposite of the handshower port is for an

optional bath spout. Default ﬂow is through this port. If not

utilized, this port will need to be capped.

The remaining two ports are for the hot and cold water. These

connections are interchangeable.

2. Prepare the Site

Provide an access panel for all installations.

Allow for access to the connection between the shower

high-pressure hose and the shower interlock hose.

For easiest installation, do not install the bath unit until all

soldering (except supplies) is complete. Then install the bath and

connect the supplies.

If used, install the bath spout shank at this time according to the

spout installation instructions. If possible, do not install the

ﬁnished trim until all other installations and construction are

completed.

For spouts with a supply tee: Solder in an adapter and a 1/2″

copper tube. Cap to close the extra port.

Install the valve bodies according to the valve body installation

instructions.

Loosely secure the valve bodies.

Follow the handle installation instructions to temporarily

assemble the handles in order to adjust the valves to the proper

height before connecting the lines to the diverter or supply.

Use a wrench to loosen the cartridge assembly from the diverter

body. Continue to unthread the assembly to remove.

Set the assembly aside. Protect the seals and O-rings from

becoming dirty, damaged, or misaligned.

4. Complete the Diverter Installation

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Verify that the diverter

body is secure before removing the cartridge. If not secured, the

process of removing the cartridge may damage the pipe and

connections.

the internal plastic components. Do not apply excessive heat

while soldering. Direct the torch ﬂame away from the brass

body. Only apply direct heat to the connectors and extensions.

IMPORTANT! If there is limited access to the solder connections, or

if any other risk of excessive heat being applied to the brass body

exists, remove the cartridge prior to soldering. If you remove the

cartridge, protect the seals and O-rings from becoming dirty,

damaged, or misaligned.

If not already removed, remove the diverter cartridge assembly.

Dry ﬁt all piping and connectors.

Solder piping for the optional spout or wall shower.

Connect the hot and cold lines from the valves to the diverter.

While supporting from below, carefully install and wrench tighten

the cartridge assembly into the diverter body.
