Kohler K-T314 Notice D'installation page 5

Install Valve Bodies: Thread one mounting nut, flange
side up, followed by one fiber washer and one rubber
washer onto each valve body.
Insert the 2-7/8" (7.3cm) long copper tubes between the
valve bodies and tee.
DO NOT solder the connections yet.
NOTE: Orient the valve body marked "COLD" so it is on
the right when facing the front of the faucet.
Insert the valve bodies through the mounting holes from
the bottom of the deck. Mate the copper tube from the tee
with the spout supply tube. Hold in place.
Set a collar, with the flange side up, onto each valve body.
Thread down to at least 1" (2.5cm) from the top thread on
the valve body.
Set Valve Body Height: Use one of the following two
formulas to calculate the valve body clearance required
for the finish material at your site.
Add the tile thickness to 1-1/4" (3.2cm) (distance required
from the finished deck to the top of the valve threads), if
the tile is less than 1" (2.5cm) thick.
Example #1: Tile thickness 3/4" (2cm) + 1-1/4" (3.2cm)
= 2" (5cm) clearance.
If the tile thickness is between 1" (2.5cm) and 1-1/4"
(3.2cm), add only 1" (2.5cm) to the 1-1/4" (3.2cm)
distance.
Example #2: Tile thickness 1" (2.5cm) + 1-1/4" (3.2cm)
= 2-1/4" (5.7cm) clearance.
Adjust the threaded collar until the dimension from the top
of the valve threads to the top of the rough deck surface
equals the clearance requirement you calculated.
Note this dimension. You will need to use it again after
connecting the supply tube.
