1. Prepare the Site

NOTICE: Measure your product for site preparation. Note the model number located on the heater side
of the bath, then visit the product page at www.kohler.com for additional information.
Framing
Make sure the floor offers adequate support for your bath, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.
For drop-in models: The bath is designed for drop-in or raised deck installations. If a deck-mount
faucet will be installed, plan a space on the deck to accommodate the faucet.
For flanged models: The bath is designed for alcove installation. Take into account the thickness of
the finished wall materials when constructing the framing.
Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing.
Provide a 1/16" (2 mm) gap between the bath rim and the framing to ensure the bath is not
supported by the rim. Take into account the thickness of the finished deck material.
Install an access panel for future servicing of the power supply or heater components.
For drop-in installations against a wall: Install a tiling-in bead to prevent water from seeping
behind the wall. Follow the instructions included with the tiling-in bead.
Plumbing
NOTE: For through-the-floor drain installations: Cut a drain hole to accommodate the drain connections.
Install the rough plumbing.
Install the drain to the bath according to the drain manufacturer's instructions.
Place a clean drop cloth in the bottom of the bath to protect the finish during the installation
process.
