5. Secure the Whirlpool to the Stud Framing

Drill a small pilot hole through the nailing-in ﬂange at each stud. Add shims between the nailing-in

ﬂange and the studs as needed to eliminate gaps.

Nail 1/4″ (6 mm) thick furring strips to the studs to shim out to the edge of the nailing-in ﬂange.

Use #6 large-head galvanized nails to secure the nailing-in ﬂange to the studs.

6. Cut the Pump Banding Straps

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

NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before you cut the pump banding straps. If the pump is

raised too high, it will not prime properly.

Use tin snips to cut the two pump banding straps. When the banding straps are cut, the pump

support bracket and pump will drop about 1/2″ (1.3 cm) until they rest on the subﬂoor. If the pump

drops more than 1/2″ (1.3 cm), shim under the pump support bracket so there is a 1/2″ (1.3 cm)

gap between the pump and bracket to allow for proper drainage.

To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pump is not in direct contact with the

shipping bracket after the pump banding straps are cut.

Secure the pump support bracket to the subﬂoor with screws or lag bolts (not provided).

7. 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.

Install the faucet valving according to the faucet manufacturer’s instructions. 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.
