Tools and Materials
Before You Begin
Observe all local building codes.
Prior to installation, unpack the new product and inspect it for
damage. Return the product to its protective carton until you are
ready to install it.
Make sure the finished wall is straight and plumb, and the floor
is flat and perpendicular to the finished wall.
This vanity is designed to allow most base moldings to pass
behind the vanity. Remove any moldings that may inhibit the
vanity from being flush against the finished wall.
Remove the drawer from the vanity before beginning the vanity
installation. Doing so will ease the installation process. Refer to
the section contained in this guide for proper removal.
Install the water supply and drain lines according to the
roughing-in information. The water supply nipples must extend
3” (7.6 cm) beyond the finished wall material.
Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of
products without notice, as specified in the Price Book.

1. Wall Preparation
NOTE: When notching the studs, the 3/4″plywood should be no
bigger than 9″(22.9 cm) in height to maintain structural integrity.
Measure and mark 33″(83.8 cm) up from the floor. This will be
the height from the top of the 3/4″plywood backing material to
the floor.
Notch the studs so the front of the 3/4″plywood will be flush
with the edge of the studs.
IMPORTANT! The backing should be at least 30″(76.2 cm) long and
be aligned with the vanity.
Secure the 3/4″plywood backing material to the studs with
framing nails.
Install the water supply and drain lines according to the
roughing-in information provided with your lavatory. The water
supply nipples must extend at least 3″(7.6 cm) beyond the
finished wall material.
NOTE: Plumbing will be exposed and visible once the vanity
installation is complete. Chrome plumbing fittings are
recommended.
Complete the finished wall. Ensure the finished wall is straight
and plumb, and the floor is flat and perpendicular to the finished
wall.

3. Install the Vanity
Position the vanity against the finished wall.
Verify the vanity is level. If it is not level, tip the vanity to allow
access to the appropriate leveler(s) and turn the leveler(s)
counterclockwise to raise the vanity, or clockwise to lower it.
Mark two pilot holes an equal distance from the centerpoint of
the mounting rail.
Drill two pilot holes through mounting rail at the marked
locations.
Tighten a wood screw through each of the two drilled holes until
the vanity is flush and secure against the finished wall.

4. Install the Lavatory
Install the faucet to the lavatory following the faucet
manufacturer’s instructions.
Properly seat the lavatory on top of the vanity. The back of the
lavatory must be flush against the finished wall.
Push down on each corner of the lavatory to make sure it does
not rock from side to side on the vanity.
NOTE: If adjustment is needed, remove the lavatory and set it aside.
Use a screwdriver to turn the levelers on the vanity. Seat the
lavatory on the vanity. Repeat this procedure, if necessary.
Remove the lavatory from the vanity and set it aside.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Siliconized acrylic caulk must
be used to secure the lavatory to the vanity. Do not use 100%
silicone sealant, which will damage the finish of the vanity.
Apply a 1/8″(3 mm) thick bead of siliconized acrylic caulk
around the top edge of the vanity.
Carefully position the lavatory on top of the vanity.
Apply a small bead of siliconized acrylic caulk to the top edge
where the lavatory contacts the wall. Allow the caulk to dry
before proceeding. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for
recommended drying time.
Connect the drain and supplies.
