Tools and Materials
Before You Begin
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Select 250 lb (113.4
kg) load bearing 5/16″lag bolts with a length to clear
obstacles in the wall and 5/16″washers. Calculate proper lag
bolt length by adding the following: 1-1/2″(38 mm) backing
material + wallboard thickness + back rail thickness.
IMPORTANT! Risk of property damage. Use care when moving
the cabinet to avoid impacting, sliding, or side-loading the legs.
NOTE: The K-20199 bridge cabinet is designed to be installed with
the K-20195 vanity and is not intended to be installed individually.
Read both product installation instructions before beginning. The
vanity should be installed before the bridge cabinet.
Observe all local building codes.
To properly secure the cabinet, 2x6 backing material must be

assembly tasks on a flat, padded work surface.
Position the cabinet on a flat, padded surface.
Remove the drawer to access the holes for leg attachment. Refer
to the ″Remove/Reinstall the Drawer″section of this guide.
Attach the Legs
For Installation to One Vanity Only: Determine whether the legs
will be installed on the left or right. The opposite side will be
supported when installed to the K-20195 vanity.
Position the cross rail above the clips in the front and back legs.
Press down firmly and evenly on the cross rail until it fully

2. Position the Bridge Cabinet
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Select 250 lb (113.4 kg)
load bearing 5/16″lag bolts with a length to clear obstacles
in the wall and 5/16″washers. Calculate the proper lag bolt
length by adding the following: 1-1/2″(38 mm) backing
material, plus the wallboard thickness, plus the back rail
thickness.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Use care when moving the
bridge cabinet to avoid impacting, sliding, or side-loading the legs.
NOTE: The K-20199 bridge cabinet is designed to be installed with
the K-20195 vanity and is not intended to be installed individually.
Read both product installation instructions before beginning
installation. Install the vanity before the bridge cabinet.
Install Spacers (provided) – Only for Installation to a Vanity
IMPORTANT! Ensure spacers do not extend past the top front edge
of the bridge cabinet. Improper placement of spacers may interfere
with the installation of the stone top.
Remove the protective film from the adhesive strips on one of the
spacers.
Carefully position the spacer on the side of the bridge cabinet,
flush with the top and front edges.
Install a second spacer on the side of the bridge cabinet, flush
with the top and back edges.

To properly secure the bridge cabinet, 2x6 backing material must
be installed behind the finished wall. Refer to the K-20195 vanity
installation instructions for site preparation.
Verify the bridge cabinet is level and flush against the vanity and
that the front edges are aligned. If necessary turn the leveler(s) to
adjust the unit.

3. Secure the Bridge Cabinet
Make sure the bridge cabinet is tight against the vanity.
Using a 1/4″drill bit, drill two pilot holes through the back rail
and the finished wall. Verify the pilot holes are positioned to
ensure the lag bolts will engage the 2x6 backing material.
Using a 1/8″drill bit, drill two pilot holes through the side of the
bridge cabinet and into the vanity.
Secure the bridge cabinet to the finished wall with two 5/16″lag
bolts and washers (not provided).
Secure the bridge cabinet to the vanity using two #8 x 1-1/2″
panhead screws (provided). Use shims as needed to make the
bridge cabinet level and flush with the vanity.
For Installation to Two Vanities
Install the second vanity according to the instructions packed
with the vanity. Ensure the vanity is flush against the front of the
bridge cabinet before securing the vanity to the wall.
Using a 1/8″drill bit, drill two pilot holes through the side of the
bridge cabinet and into the second vanity.
Secure the bridge cabinet to the second vanity using two #8 x
1-1/2″panhead screws (provided).

corner of the bridge cabinet.

upward when installed.

flush with the wall and the side is flush with the vanity. Press
down firmly.
Double Vanity Installations: Position the stone top so the back is
flush with the wall and the top is centered between the two
vanities. Press down firmly.
Install spacers as instructed at the beginning of this section.

Care and Cleaning
For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your
KOHLER product:
Marble
NOTE: Application of a stone sealer will help make natural stone
surfaces less porous and more resistant to stains (stone sealer will
not make the surface stain proof).
•Marble is a natural stone, thus its color and pattern can vary
greatly. Each marble surface has its own distinct characteristics.
This individuality makes each marble fixture a unique and
original addition to your home.
•If a marble surface is given the proper care, it will retain its
beauty and durability. Without regular cleaning, dust particles can
settle on marble and can be ground into the surface and cause
damage. Wash marble regularly with fresh warm water and a
clean non-abrasive cloth. Add a neutral (ph balanced) cleaner to
help remove dirt and grime.
•Avoid detergents that can be abrasive and contain chemicals high
in acid or alkaline. Petroleum (or oils such as animal fat) can
darken natural stone and leave a residue which, over time, can
build up and turn yellow. This buildup is difficult to remove.
•Give marble the same attention you give to fine wood. Use
coasters under all drink containers. Wipe up stains immediately.
Do not allow heated items to come into contact with the marble
surface. To protect against scratches, use felt, leather, or cork
under all items placed on the marble surface.
Wood Surfaces
•As with any smooth surface, avoid using abrasive cleaners as
they will scratch the surface. Wipe the wood surface regularly to
prevent buildup of soap and scum.
•To protect against scratches, use felt, leather, or cork under all
items placed on the wood surface. To conceal scratches, a
touch-up marker is available for order. Contact a Kohler
distributor or call 1-800-4KOHLER for ordering information.

Care and Cleaning (cont.)
•Do not expose wood furniture to direct sunlight, drying heat
sources, or dampness.
•Dust frequently with a soft cloth in the direction of the grain. Use
only products specifically made for cleaning wood. Avoid using
oily polishes or waxes, or products containing silicone. Blot spills
immediately with a soft, damp cloth.
•Every six months, remove soil buildup by rubbing with a soft
cloth dampened in a 50/50 solution of warm water and an
ammonia-free detergent. Wipe clean with a cloth dampened in
warm water, then wipe dry.
