5. Secure the Whirlpool to the Stud Framing
Drill a small pilot hole through the nailing-in flange at each stud. Add shims between the nailing-in
flange and the studs as needed to eliminate gaps.
Nail 1/4″(6 mm) thick furring strips to the studs to shim out to the edge of the nailing-in flange.

6. Cut the Pump Banding Straps
IMPORTANT! This step is necessary to make your Kohler whirlpool operate more quietly.
NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before you cut the pump banding straps. If the pump is
raised too high, it will not prime properly.
Use tin snips to cut the two pump banding straps. When the banding straps are cut, the pump
support bracket and pump will drop about 1/2″(1.3 cm) until they rest on the subfloor. If the pump
drops more than 1/2″(1.3 cm), shim under the pump support bracket so there is a 1/2″(1.3 cm)
gap between the pump and bracket to allow for proper drainage.
To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pump is not in direct contact with the
shipping bracket after the pump banding straps are cut.
Secure the pump support bracket to the subfloor with screws or lag bolts (not provided).
7. Install the Plumbing
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. A watertight seal must exist on the whirlpool drain. The
watertight seal will prevent property damage.
Connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions.

1011092-2-E 12 Kohler Co.

10. Complete the Finished Wall
NOTE: If your whirlpool has an integral apron, it is designed so the finished wall material (1-1/2″[3.8 cm]
maximum) will overlap the apron columns. The finished floor material (2″[5.1 cm] maximum) should butt
against the apron.
If you have not already done so, carefully remove the protective tape from the whirlpool rim.
If necessary allow for deck-mounted valves and spout.
Cover the framing with water-resistant wall material. Seal the joints between the whirlpool rim edge
and the water-resistant wall material with silicone sealant.
Tape and mud the water-resistant wall material. Install the finished wall to the water-resistant wall
material. Seal the joints between the whirlpool rim and the finished wall material with silicone
sealant.
Install the faucet trim according to the trim manufacturer’s instructions.
11. Removing the Apron
Your whirlpool may be equipped with an integral apron which allows you convenient access to
your whirlpool controls. To remove the apron, insert the edge of a flat blade screwdriver or dull
knife under the edge of the apron panel. Be careful not to scratch the visible surfaces. Gently pry up
at one end. Carefully pull the apron panel off.
To reinstall, bow the apron slightly so both ends can be inserted at the same time. Gently press in
the center of the panel to secure the apron in place.
12. Clean-Up After Installation
When cleaning up after installation, do not use abrasive cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the
whirlpool surface. Use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface.
Remove stubborn stains, paint, or tar with turpentine or paint thinner. Do not allow cleaners
containing petroleum distillates to remain in contact with any whirlpool surfaces for long periods
of time. Remove plaster by carefully scraping with a wood edge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire
brushes, or other metal tools. Use a powder-type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild
abrasive action to any residual plaster.

Avant de commencer
AVIS : Ne pas soulever la baignoire à hydromassage par la tuyauterie ou par la pompe ou utiliser la
tuyauterie ou la pompe pour supporter la baignoire à hydromassage. Afin d’éviter d’endommager la
baignoire à hydromassage, soulever sur les côtés de la baignoire.
AVIS : Ne pas supporter le poids de charge de la baignoire à hydromassage par le périmètre du rebord. Le
périmètre du rebord doit être soutenu de manière adéquate, mais il ne doit pas supporter le poids de
charge de la baignoire à hydromassage.
Dans le cas de baignoires à hydromassage sans bandeau, il est nécessaire d’effectuer une installation
encastrée. Dans le cas de baignoires à hydromassage muni d’un bandeau intégré ou optionnel, il est
recommandé d’effectuer une installation en alcôve ou en angle, selon le modèle choisi.
Avant de commencer l’installation, examiner la baignoire à hydromassage pour y déceler tout
dommage.
Cette baignoire à hydromassage doit être installée sur un sous-plancher soutenu de manière
adéquate et à niveau.
S’assurer que l’espace de montage et de raccordement du robinet soit adéquat pour l’installation.
Pour des unités en angle avec bandeau intégré: Laisser un électricien qualifié installer les prises
pour la pompe et le chauffe-eau (si utilisé) à l’emplacement spécifié sur la baignoire à
hydromassage. Se référer à l’illustration ci-dessus.
Kohler Co. se réserve le droit d’apporter toutes modifications sur le design des produits et ceci sans
préavis, tel que spécifié dans le catalogue des prix.
