CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Make sure a watertight seal exists on all bath drain
connections.
Make the Drain Connections
NOTE: The drain cover is included in a small box located within the carton.
Choose the thin drain gasket for PVC drain pipes or the thick gasket for brass pipes.
Apply 100% silicone sealant to the inside and outside surfaces of the drain gasket to act as a
lubricant.
Install the drain gasket onto the drain pipe. Use a rubber mallet and 1-1/2" PVC tubing to seat the
gasket into the drain flange.
CAUTION: The edges of drain flange openings may be sharp.
NOTE: Make sure there is no interference with the drain gasket and the drain flange openings. The gasket
must sit below the drain flange slots for the drain cover to work properly.
Reassemble the drain cover assembly. Line up the tabs on the drain cover with the slots in the drain
body and insert the drain cover assembly.
Press the drain cover several times to make sure the drain opens and closes properly.
Apply Sealant - Optional
If desired, apply a thin, continuous bead of clear or color-matched silicone sealant to the seam
between the bath and the finished floor.
Install the Bath Filler
Install the faucet valve and trim according to the faucet manufacturer's instructions.
Close the bath drain. Fill the bath to the overflow, and check for leaks.
Care and Cleaning
For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your KOHLER product:
• Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying to the entire surface.
• Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately after applying cleaner. Rinse and
dry any overspray that lands on nearby surfaces.
• Do not allow cleaners to soak on surfaces.
