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

Company.

Tools and Materials

Before You Begin

Please read these instructions carefully to familiarize yourself with the required tools, materials, and

installation sequences. Follow the sections that pertain to your particular installation. This will help

you to avoid costly mistakes.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

Locate the rough plumbing for the drain in accordance with the roughing-in dimensions for your

particular model.

A variety of installations are possible. These instructions show suggested installation procedures.

Your particular installation may require other construction techniques.

Your shower receptor comes packaged in a single carton. This carton will ﬁt through any standard

door. You should not remove the receptor from the carton until you are ready to install it.

Unpack and inspect the shower receptor for any damage. The receptor should have a front apron

piece already secured to it. This apron does not need to be removed and can remain attached

throughout the installation procedure. If you ﬁnd any damage, do not install the receptor. Report

the speciﬁc problem to your dealer immediately.

After inspection, return the receptor to the carton until you are ready to install it.

The shower receptor must be installed to an adequately supported and level subﬂoor.

Be sure that you have enough access to move the receptor into the construction area.

Make sure the installation area is clean and free of all debris. If remodeling, remove all ﬁnished wall

material to expose the stud wall/framing and remove all ﬂoor coverings to expose the subﬂoor.

Provide properly dimensioned framing.

This shower receptor is designed for an alcove installation.

The exact location of the end studs will depend on the thickness of the ﬁnished wall material.

Plus:

• Common Woodworking Tools and Materials

• Galvanized Nails/Screws

• Drop Cloth

• 2x4s and/or 2x6s*

• Water-Resistant Wall Material

Before You Begin (cont.)

If the unit will be adjacent to vertical ducts or wiring, surround the unit with ﬁre-rated,

water-resistant wall material. When ﬁre-rated wall material is speciﬁed, stud-opening dimensions

are toward the exposed side of the wall material.

Place the receptor within the installation area prior to completion of the framing.

The basin area requires no additional support when the subﬂoor is level and square with respect to

the framing. Consider using shims for additional support if the subﬂoor is uneven.

Consult all applicable instructions for options and accessories before beginning this installation.

Fixture conforms to ANSI Standard Z124.1.2. All dimensions are nominal. All models meet IAPMO

requirements.

Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of products without notice, as speciﬁed

in the Price Book.

1. Prepare the Site

Ensure that the installation area is clean and free of all debris. If remodeling, remove all ﬁnished

wall material to expose the framing and remove all ﬂoor coverings to expose the subﬂoor.

Inspect the ﬂooring at the installation site. Repair as necessary.

Make sure the subﬂoor and ﬁnished ﬂoors are ﬂat and level.

Kohler Co. 3 1065122-2-A

2. Roughing-In

IMPORTANT! All dimensions are nominal. The stud opening tolerance is +1/4″(6 mm) and -0 (0 mm).

Carefully measure your ﬁxture before determining enclosure size. When a ﬁre-rated wall is speciﬁed,

dimensions are to the inside of the wall board. Some shimming between the stud frame and the ﬁxture

may be required. Dimensions given in the roughing-in information are crucial for proper installation.

Construct the framing and plumbing accurately.

NOTE: If a ﬁrewall is required, increase the roughing-in dimensions according to the thickness of the

ﬁrewall material. Stud opening dimensions must be measured toward the exposed side of the wall

material.

NOTE: If the unit will be installed against a masonry wall, make provisions for plumbing connections.

Construct a separate frame wall a minimum of 6″(15.2 cm) from the masonry wall.

special framing considerations.

Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing according to the roughing-in information for your particular

model.

Verify that the framing is square and plumb.

For grab bar installation: Provide 2x6 bridging or attachment at speciﬁed positions for grab bar

installations. Refer to the grab bar manufacturer’s instructions.

Verify the subﬂoor is level. Shim as necessary.

4. Install the Plumbing

NOTE: Provide access at the back of the plumbing wall for servicing the supply and waste piping.

Locate rough plumbing for the drain according to the correct model’s roughing-in dimensions.

Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information.

Cap the supplies and check for leaks.

Install a 2″(5.1 cm) diameter drain line to extend 3/8″(1 cm) above the subﬂoor or slab. A pocket is

required in a slab construction to accommodate the drain ﬁtting.

Install the shower valving according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not install the trim at

this time.

If installing a steam system, position the rough plumbing for the steam head at the intended

installation location at this time. Refer to installation instructions packed with your steam

components for details.

5. Prepare the Receptor

CAUTION: Risk of product or property damage. If a watertight seal on the drain is not obtained,

water damage to the receptor bottom and the subﬂoor may occur.

Install the drain to the shower receptor according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions. Follow

all local building codes, standards, and regulations.

Clean the shower receptor to reduce the risk of surface damage, then place a clean drop cloth or

other similar material into the bottom of the shower receptor.

6. Position the Receptor

Move the receptor into position. Verify proper ﬁt.

Fit the drain into the trap. Do not connect the trap at this time.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. If shimming is required, shim between the subﬂoor or slab

and the wood block feet on the underside of the receptor. All wood block feet must be supported

when the receptor is leveled and nailed to the framing.

Check that the receptor is level in both directions and resting on all feet. Shim if necessary.

Concrete, gypsum cement or other similar materials can be used to level the base.
