1. Prepare the Site

NOTICE: Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.

NOTICE: Provide adequate ﬂoor support.

NOTICE: Measure your actual product for site preparation. Note the model number located on the

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

Make sure the ﬂooring offers adequate support for your whirlpool, and verify that the subﬂoor is

ﬂat and level.

The whirlpool should be installed in a drop-in or ﬂush installation. Construct 2x4 stud framing or

concrete or brick support designed for your particular installation. Frame the ﬂoor, or construct a

frame or support for a raised installation.

Use the template packed with the whirlpool to carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material.

For ﬂush-mount installation, allow for the thickness of the planned deck material.

Position the plumbing. Cap the supplies, and check for leaks.

2. Prepare the Whirlpool

Install the drain to the whirlpool according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions. Do not connect

the trap at this time.

Position a clean drop cloth or similar material in the bottom of the whirlpool. Be careful not to

scratch the surface of the whirlpool.
