Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Site

NOTICE: Measure your product for site preparation. Note the model number on the back side of the

bath, then visit the product page at www.kohler.com for additional information.

Flooring

Provide adequate support for the bath.

Verify that the subﬂoor is level.

Install additional support and adjust for level as needed.

Framing

IMPORTANT! Do not support the bath by the rim. The bath must be supported by the support blocks

only. Plan to shim under the bath as needed when leveling the bath.

IMPORTANT! The cables that will connect the control ampliﬁer to the bath components are each 25’ (7.6

m) in length. Carefully plan out and position the control ampliﬁer so these routed cables will easily reach

without being under tension.

NOTICE: This bath is designed for drop-in, alcove, under-mount, or island installation.

NOTICE: Use wood framing. Wood framing will provide the best vibracoustic quality.

NOTICE: If installing the control ampliﬁer between studs, the stud spacing should be 16″ (406 mm).

NOTE: The framing illustrated is less the ﬁnished wall and deck materials. Allow for the ﬁnished wall

and deck material thicknesses when constructing the framing.

Construct the framing, taking into account the thickness of the ﬁnished wall and deck materials.

For drop-in installations, provide a 1/16″ (2 mm) to 1/8″ (3 mm) gap between the framing and the

underside of the bath rim to ensure the bath is not supported by the rim.

For under-mount installations, provide a 1/16″ (2 mm) to 1/8″ (3 mm) gap between the framing

and the top surface of the bath rim to ensure the weight of the framing does not rest on the bath

rim.
