Prepare The Site - Kohler K-306 Guia De Instalacion

Before You Begin (cont.)
This valve requires a minimum operating pressure of 15 psi (103.4
kPa).
The valve shuts off by water pressure. Do not force the handle in
any direction. To turn the valve off, gently turn it to the "Off"
position.
Flush all piping thoroughly before installing this valve.
If inlet conditions differ from those used during factory
calibration, it may be necessary to re-calibrate the valve after
installation.
Do not use plastic pipe between the valve and the spout. Kohler
recommends the use of 3/4" copper tube. Iron pipe is not
recommended.
This valve does not have an integral aspirator. For installations
that use a bath diverter spout, you must install a twin ell (K-9663)
with integral aspirator between the valve and the bath spout. If
these thermostatic mixing valves are installed without an
aspirator it will cause water to flow from the shower and bath
spout at the same time.
Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of
products without notice, as specified in the Price Book.
