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

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.

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.

Avoid ﬂexing the side walls to prevent damage to the module.

Unpack and inspect the shower module for damage. If you ﬁnd any damage, do not install the

module. Report the speciﬁc problem to your dealer immediately.

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

Insulate all exterior walls before installation.

You must install this shower module to an adequately supported, level subﬂoor.

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

One-piece shower modules are too large to ﬁt through standard door openings. Set the module

within the installation area prior to the completion of the framing. Another option is not to install

the studs in one wall or install the studs without nailing, to allow you to move the module into

place.

Before installation, provide access to all connections. Because the module is one-piece, the drain and

overﬂow connections cannot be made by reaching over the end of the module.

Make sure 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.

Provide properly dimensioned framing.

Before You Begin (cont.)

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

If installing this unit adjacent to vertical ducts or chases, surround the unit with ﬁre-rated

water-resistant wall material.

When ﬁre-rated wall is speciﬁed, stud-opening dimensions are toward the exposed side of the wall

material.

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.

To enhance the ﬁnished appearance of the tile-wall module designs, pay special attention to the

placement of the exposed plumbing ﬁttings. Try to position the valving and shower ﬁttings where

they will complement the tile-wall appearance of the module.

Fixture conforms to ANSI Standard Z124.2. All dimensions are nominal.

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 sub and ﬁnished ﬂoors are ﬂat and level.

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

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, roughing-in dimensions will have to increase according to the thickness of

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

material.

NOTE: If installing this unit to a masonry wall, make provisions for plumbing connections. Construct a

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

3. Construct the Stud Framing

4. Install the Plumbing

NOTE: Provide access to all plumbing connections to simplify future maintenance.

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

NOTE: If plumbing is to be installed on the unﬁnished stud wall, install the supplies after the module is

installed.

Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information. Cap the supplies and check for

leaks.

Install a drain pipe according to the roughing-in information.

Strap the supply connections to the stud framing.

If possible, provide an access at the back of the plumbing wall for servicing the supply and waste

piping.

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

this time.

5. Prepare the Module

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

to the subﬂoor may occur.

Install the drain to the module according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE: To enhance the ﬁnished appearance of the tile-wall module designs, pay special attention to the

placement of the exposed plumbing ﬁttings. Try to position the valving and shower ﬁttings where they

will complement the tile-wall appearance of the module.

Layout and mark the location of the mixing valve, shower, and the bath spout holes on the back

surface of the module wall.

NOTE: A template can be used for multiple installations if the supply ﬁttings have been located accurately

during rough ﬁtting. Make a pilot hole template of lightweight plywood. Use the template to mark ﬁtting

locations on the back side of the module.

Drill 1/4″(6 mm) pilot holes at the marked locations.

Clean the module to reduce the risk of surface damage.

Place a clean drop cloth or other similar material into the bottom of the module.

Prepare the Module (cont.)

From the inside of the module (ﬁnished surface), use a hole saw of the correct diameter to carefully

drill the ﬁtting holes.

Clean any debris from the module to reduce the risk of surface damage. Be careful not to scratch the

surface of the unit.

6. Position the Module

Move the module into position.

Fit the drain into the trap.

Verify that the bottom of the module is ﬁrmly supported by the ﬂoor. No additional support is

needed.

Verify proper ﬁt.

The module must be plumb and level to ensure proper shower enclosure installation. Make framing

adjustments or shim, as needed.

Position the right side of the front frame and the header in the recess and nail into place.

Do not secure the nailing-in ﬂanges at this time.

Kohler Co. 7 1030528-2-B

7. Secure the Module to the Stud Framing

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Make sure a watertight seal exists on all drain connections.

Complete the drain installation according to the instructions packed with the drain.

If not already installed, install the supplies and shower valving at this time. See ″Install the

Plumbing″.

Open the water supplies and check all the connections for leaks.

Run water into the module and check the drain connections for leaks.

Drill holes in the front nailing-in ﬂanges at 8″(20.3 cm) centers.

Then drill pilot holes in the nailing-in ﬂanges at the side and back centers.

Add shims between the nailing-in ﬂanges and the studs as needed to eliminate any gaps.

Secure the nailing-in ﬂanges to the studs at the predrilled locations using #6 large-head galvanized

nails or screws. Be careful not to damage the ﬁnished surfaces when nailing.

For metal stud construction, drill the fastener holes through the nailing-in ﬂanges and metal studs

and secure with sheet metal screws.

Nail furring 1/8″(3 mm) thick strips to the studs to shim out to the edge of the nailing-in ﬂange.
