Before You Begin

NOTICE: Do not apply excessive heat near the valve or apply flux or acids directly onto the valve. This
valve contains plastic and rubber components which will melt if heat is directly applied.
NOTICE: Do not apply petroleum-based lubricants to the valve components. Doing so will damage the
valve components.
NOTICE: Do not use oil-based, non-setting compounds, such as plumbers putty, on the threaded
connections. Inlet and outlet threaded connections should be made using sealant tape or liquid sealant.
NOTICE: Do not allow any outlet to flow more than 10 gal (37.9 L) per minute.
Observe all local plumbing, building, and electrical codes.
Read these instructions and determine all required components along with their installation
locations before beginning this installation.
Provide access for servicing.
For optimum performance, 3/4" dedicated water supply lines are recommended.
When possible, install the valve prior to installing the other components.
If possible, flush all piping thoroughly before installing the valve to prevent clogging the inlet
filters.
Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of faucets without notice, as specified
in the Price Book.
