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. Use as

a shut-off valve will allow cross ﬂow between the hot and cold

water supplies and will 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.

Carefully read this entire instruction manual before beginning the

installation; the illustrations do not show all possible

conﬁgurations.

Carefully inspect waste and supply tubing for any sign of

damage.

Replace waste or supply tubing if necessary.

Before You Begin (cont.)

You can extend the distance between the between the water

source and the braided hose connection with 1/2″copper piping

below the rim of the bath/whirlpool, but it may not be safe or

practical. A long run of piping will mean a long run of

room-temperature standing water when the handshower is ﬁrst

activated for use.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Excessive heat will damage

the internal plastic components. Follow these steps to avoid

product damage.

IMPORTANT! Do not apply excessive heat while soldering. Direct

the torch ﬂame away from the brass body.

IMPORTANT! Only apply direct heat to the connectors and

extensions.

Do not install spouts with ﬂow restrictors or handheld shower

units on the large (5/8″O.D.) bath outlet.

The Kohler two-way diverter is designed for use with Kohler

non-diverting bath spouts.

Remove all internal components of the diverter valve before

soldering. Kohler Co. recommends soldering supply and optional

outlet connections to avoid potential leakage.

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

products without notice, as speciﬁed in the Price Book.

1. Diverter Conﬁguration

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. Component Layout

Verify the location of the components, and the orientation of all

ports.

Decide in advance on the location and orientation of the diverter.

The location of the shower, and the handshower, as well as the

direction in which the inlets/outlets point, will affect the piping

and connectors needed.

Allow clearance for valve outlets, handles, and handshower

hoses. For use with an optional spout, also allow clearance for the

spout connection.

You can extend the distance between the between the diverter

and the braided hose connection with 1/2″copper piping below

the rim of the bath/whirlpool, but it may not be safe or practical.

A long run of piping will mean a long run of room-temperature

standing water when the handshower is ﬁrst activated for use.

Component Layout (cont.)

Secure long runs of piping to the underside of the deck or rim. If

the piping cannot be secured at a point near the diverter, secure

from underneath with lumber of other suitable support.

3. Preparation

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.

If possible, do not install the ﬁnished portion of the spout until

all other installation and construction is complete.

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.

Preparation (cont.)

NOTE: The cartridge assembly is easier to remove before the

diverter is installed. You can remove the assembly now or after the

diverter installation.

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. Install the Diverter

NOTE: You may need assistance to align and secure the diverter.

Thread the mounting nut all the way down onto the diverter

body.

Slide the friction washer followed by the rubber washer over the

diverter body and down to the mounting nut.

Insert the diverter body through the deck/rim/wall.

Slide the washer onto the diverter body.

Thread the escutcheon onto the diverter body until the top of the

escutcheon is ﬂush with the top of the diverter body. This will

allow ample clearance for proper handle function.

Align the inlets and outlets.

Hand tighten the mounting nut.

6. Install the Handshower

From the top of the bath or ﬁnished deck, insert the smaller end

of the interlock hose down into the hose guide and through the

mounting hole.

From the underside of the bath or ﬁnished deck, insert one

washer into the ﬂexible hose. Thread the ﬂexible hose into the

high pressure hose.

Insert one washer into the other end of the high pressure hose.

Connect the high pressure hose onto a vacuum breaker (if

installed), or onto the appropriate water source.

Run cold and hot water through the handshower hose to ﬂush

out dirt and debris. Check for leaks.

Turn the cold and hot water supply off.

For an elbow installation: Insert one washer into the bottom of

the elbow assembly. Thread the bottom of the elbow assembly

onto the interlock hose. Insert a screen washer into the top of the

elbow assembly. Thread the handshower onto the elbow

assembly.

For an upright installation: Insert one screen washer into the end

of the handshower. Thread the handshower onto the handshower

hose.

To avoid kinking, be sure to remove any twist loops in the hose.
