Before You Begin
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.
This product is designed for ceiling-mount installation only. Do
not install to a shower wall.
This manual covers vertical installation of the Power Data Supply
(PDS) in a service closet or 2x6 stud pocket. If the wall is
enclosed, an access panel must be provided for servicing.
The PDS may also be mounted under the floor joists. If mounting
under the floor, the unit must not be enclosed.
The PDS must be located within 25 ft (7.62 m) of the rain panel.
Inspect the supply piping for damage. Replace as necessary.
A licensed electrician should install a 15 A 120 V GFCI/RCD
electrical outlet within a service closet or 2x6 stud framing with
access panel, not more than 2 ft (0.61 m) from the intended
mounting location of the PDS.
The PDS may be hardwired. For optional hardwire installation of
the PDS, order Service Kit #1078031.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, locate the outlet, PDS, and
overhead rain panel within proximity to each other to allow for
each cable to have a drip loop.
Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of
products without notice, as specified in the Price Book.
