1. Prepare the Rim-Mount Faucet (Optional)
Recommended Faucet Location
(See Specification Sheet for Dimensions)
NOTICE: Before installing a rim-mount bath faucet, refer to the Specification Sheet on the bath product page at
kohler.com for faucet location dimensions for your model.
NOTICE: To accommodate the bath shroud, use flexible connections to attach the water supplies to a rim-mount faucet.
NOTICE: For rim-mount faucet installations, route the water supply lines high enough to permit access for making the
final connections from above the shroud.
Refer to the Specification Sheet on the bath product page at kohler.com to determine the recommended faucet location
and drain model for your bath.
Measure and cut a piece of 1/2" (13 mm) exterior grade plywood to support the faucet. The board should be 4" (102
mm) wide. The length should extend beyond the width of the faucet holes for proper support.
Locate the faucet in the recommended location on the bath rim. Verify that the faucet trim fits on the bath rim without
overhang. Verify that there is no interference above or below the rim before drilling any holes.
Refer to the Installation Instructions packed with the faucet to determine faucet hole size.
Use a pencil to mark the faucet hole centerlines. Do not drill the holes at this time.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. To avoid scratching the bath, position a thin piece of cardboard under any
clamps before tightening.
Position the plywood on the underside of the rim, then clamp in place. To protect the finished surface, apply masking
tape beneath the cardboard anywhere the clamps will make contact with the finished surface of the bath. Verify that
the clamps do not directly contact the finished surface of the bath.
Carefully drill the faucet holes.
Install the valve according to the Installation Instructions included with the valve. Do not install the faucet trim until
instructed.
