Before You Begin
DANGER: Risk of personal injury. These products are not
designed or intended for use as a grab bar or support bar. Do
not install any of these products in any area where they are
likely to be used inadvertently as a grab bar or support bar.
These products should be located and mounted to a wall stud.
While it is possible to mount them to any surface, a stud
mounted product will yield the best results.
Use a level to ensure that the center lines for the wall plates are
vertical where applicable and the post center lines are horizontal
where applicable.
Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of
products without notice, as specified in the Price Book.
Observe all local plumbing codes and building codes.

1. Prepare the Site — Wall Plate(s)
NOTE: For the glass shelf, do not drill the mounting holes for the
second wall plate until the actual product is measured.
Determine the desired mounting location.
Mark the vertical and horizontal center lines for the accessory to
be installed. Consult the roughing-in diagrams to determine the
dimensions.
When installing multiple-post accessories, measure the accessories
so you can provide the required distance between the center
points.
Use a level to ensure that all center points are level.
2. Mark and Drill the Pilot Holes
Mark the pilot hole locations vertically 9/16” (1.4cm) above and
below the center point or center points.
Vertically line up the holes on each wall plate. Make sure the
larger hole is on the bottom.
If the installation requires multiple posts, confirm that the
centerpoints are even using a level.
NOTE: There is no provision for later adjustment if the center points
and resulting pilot holes for multiple-post accessories are not level.
Select a drill and bit that are appropriate for the wall material
you will be drilling through.
Carefully drill a 5/16” hole at all marked pilot hole locations.
