Kohler FREEWILL K-12102 Notice D'installation

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
PREPARATION
S
The basin area requires no additional support
when the subfloor is plumb and level with respect
to the stud frame. Shim as needed to level the
module.
S
Insulate all exterior walls before installation.
S
For optimum accessibility, specify faucets and
fittings to install and operate within the control
area shown in the roughing-in diagrams.
USER ACCESS CONSIDERATIONS
S
Provide clear floor space according to the
roughing-in illustrations. You can provide this
clear floor space with either a front or side user
access.
S
Consider the path of the wheelchair user when
building the clear floor space. Be sure there is
sufficient room for a wheelchair user to enter the
room and maneuver the wheelchair to the
module.
S
When possible, side entrance to the module
should be employed to ensure the easiest
wheelchair accessibility.
TRANSPORTATION/PROTECTION
S
Protect the floor of the module floor during
installation.
S
When moving the module, avoid flexing the side
walls to prevent radius cracking.
CODE CONSIDERATIONS
S
When fire-rated wall is specified, stud opening
dimensions are to the inside of the wallboard.
S
If the module is to be installed adjacent to vertical
ducts or chases, fire-rated wallboard should
surround the module.
OTHER PLUMBING CONCERNS
S
Consult all applicable instructions from options and
accessories before beginning any module installa-
tion.
S
Connect the valve to the water supplies and check
for leaks before installing the module.

ACCESS REQUIREMENTS
S
Be sure you have enough access to move the
module into the construction area.
S
Acrylic shower modules are too large to fit through
standard door openings. Set the module within the
installation area prior to the completion of framing.
An optional procedure is to omit the studs in one
wall, or to install the studs without nailing, to allow
you to move the module into place.
S
Consider the location of the bathing controls.
ADA compliant control area locations are
illustrated on Page 3.
S
If possible, consider the user's physical limitations
when determining bath and shower control
positioning and entrance into the module. To
ensure ADA compliance, position the module
exactly as shown in the roughing-in diagrams on
Page 3.
S
If the user will have care giver assistance, we
recommend that you employ a front entrance.
S
Until you are ready to begin actual installation,
leave the packaging material in place to prevent
damage. Protect the module from damage.
S
Protect the module from damage after
installation.
S
Locate the rough plumbing for the drain in
accordance with the correct roughing-in dimen-
sions.
S
Position the plumbing as required according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
S
Before installation, provide access to all connec-
tions. Because the module is one piece, the drain
and overflow connections cannot be made by
reaching over the end of the module.
