Tools and Materials

Before You Begin

NOTICE: Adequate floor support must be provided. Note the model number on the back of the bath,
then visit the product page at www.kohler.com for additional information.
NOTICE: Do not support the load weight of the bath by the rim. Plan to shim under the bath as needed
when leveling the bath.
NOTICE: Verify adequate support if installing a rim- or deck-mount faucet. Large faucets that may be
inadvertently used as a means of support are not safe for this installation.
Observe all state and local plumbing, building, and electrical codes.
Unpack and inspect the bath for damage. Return the bath to the carton until installation.
Read these instructions and determine the locations for all required components before beginning
installation.
This bath is designed for drop-in, alcove, under-mount, or island installation.
Determine the location of the control amplifier if it will be installed remotely. The control amplifier
includes a power supply with a 36" (914 mm) cord and a 25' (7.6 m) cable.
A qualified electrician should install a 120 V, 15 A GFCI or RCD electrical outlet within the stud
framing, and within 24" (610 mm) of the control amplifier. The user interface, transducers, and (if
equipped) chromatherapy are powered through connections with the control amplifier.
A qualified electrician should also install a 120 V, 15 A GFCI or RCD electrical outlet within 24" (610
mm) of the control board junction box.
Use conduit to route electrical power wires from the circuit breaker.
Carefully plan moving the bath into the installation area. This bath will not easily fit through
doorways.
Install this bath on a level subfloor. Shims may be needed if the subfloor is uneven.
Provide properly-dimensioned framing.
The bath basin area requires no additional support when the subfloor is level and square with the
stud framing.
Plan for adequate mounting and connection space for the faucet.
This bath conforms to CSA B45.5/IAPMO Z124. All dimensions are nominal.
