Prepare The Site - Kohler K-1152 Guia De Instalacion

1. Prepare the Site

Flooring
NOTICE: Adequate floor support must be provided. Consult the roughing-in information packed with the
bath for specific floor loading requirements.
Install adequate floor support.
NOTICE: To ensure a successful installation, it is critical that the bath be installed on a level subfloor.
Verify the subfloor is level. Adjust for level, if necessary.
Framing
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not support the bath by the rim. The bath must be
supported by the leveling blocks only.
NOTE: The framing illustrated is less finished wall and deck material. Allow for wall and deck material
thicknesses when framing.
NOTICE: To ensure the bath does not rest on the rim, a 1/16" (2 mm) gap must exist between the framing
and the underside of the rim. The ideal installation results when the leveling blocks contact the floor at the
same time the rim contacts the deck. When constructing the framing, take into account the gap and the
thickness of the finished wall/deck material.
NOTICE: This bath must be installed as a drop-in or raised-deck installation within an island. If a
deck-mount faucet will be installed, plan a space on the deck to accommodate the deck-mount faucet.
NOTE: When planning the construction of the framing, take into account the thickness of the finished deck
and access panel materials. Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or equivalent is recommended due to its
acoustic properties.
Construct the framing according to the roughing-in information packed with the bath. Be sure to
allow for removable panels (front and rear) to enable future access to serviceable components.
Using the cut-out template (provided), cut the deck opening to size and shape and secure to the top
of the framed area. Ensure a 1/16" (2 mm) gap will exist between the framing and the underside of
the rim. Ensure clearance by test-fitting the bath through the deck.
Ensure the rim contacts the deck simultaneous with the bath leveling feet resting on the floor. If not,
shim the bath or the deck accordingly.
