4. Cut the Pump Banding Straps

IMPORTANT! This step is necessary to make your KOHLER whirlpool operate more quietly.

Use tin snips to cut the two pump banding straps from each whirlpool pump.

NOTE: Do not raise the pumps higher than they were before you cut the pump banding straps. If the

pumps are raised too high, they will not prime properly. Make sure the rubber isolation feet are in place.

To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pumps are not in direct contact with the

whirlpool after the pump banding straps are cut. The pump controls contain rubber isolation feet to

reduce pump noise.

5. Install the Plumbing

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Ensure a watertight seal on the whirlpool drain.

Connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTICE: An access panel will simplify future maintenance.

K-1397 only: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the integral ﬁll valves according to

local codes. An additional hole is pre-drilled in the bath shell for the handshower. Install the

handshower at this time. Connect the end of the handshower hose to the open port of the transfer

valve (beneath the bath rim). Make sure the transfer valve stem is rotated fully clockwise. The

transfer valve includes an integral vacuum breaker that protects both the ﬁll spouts and the

handshower from water backﬂow.

K-1394 and K-1399 only: Install the faucet valving according to the faucet manufacturer’s

instructions. Connect the valving to the whirlpool ﬁll ports (spouts) according to local codes.

All models: Do not install the faucet trim until instructed. Open the hot and cold water supplies,

and check the supply connections for leakage.

Run water into the whirlpool, and check the drain connections for leakage.

Rotate the transfer valve stem, and check the handshower connections for leakage.
