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.

Provide a 1/16" (2 mm)

gap under the rim.
