1. Prepare the Site
The 2″NPT (2-3/8″OD) drain pipe must extend as specified for
the fixture. Consult the fixture installation instructions.
Provide a 4-5/8″(11.7 cm) D. minimum hole in the subfloor to
accommodate the 4-1/2″(11.4 cm) shower drain nut. Provide a
minimum working depth of 1-1/2″(3.8 cm) to accommodate the
shower drain nut, washer, gasket, and strainer body.

2. Install the Shower Drain
Add support blocks to the shower fixture to access the drain hole.
Apply a bead of caulk around the underside of the strainer body
flange.
Position the strainer body flange through drain hole in the
shower fixture.
Fit the gasket and washer over the strainer body and secure with
the nut.
As an alternative to pre-installing the shower drain to the shower
fixture, place the nut, gasket, and washer over the drain pipe
before installing the shower fixture.
After the shower fixture is installed, thread the strainer body into
the nut from above. This alternative may present difficulty in
threading the nut.
Use the integral bar in the strainer body to securely tighten the
strainer body to the shower fixture.
Set the shower fixture squarely into the pocket in the subfloor or
slab and over the drain pipe.
Shim and level the shower fixture according to the fixture
instructions prior to connecting the drain pipe.
Verify that the drain pipe extends into the drain body the
required distance, and that the drain pipe is centered in the drain
body.

Install the Shower Drain (cont.)
Secure the fixture according to the shower fixture installation
instructions.
If installing the shower drain using the provided
gasket/connector, proceed to Option A.
If installing the shower drain using oakum and lead, proceed to
Option B.
1032220-2-B 6 Kohler Co.

3. Option A: Install Using Gasket/Connector
Ensure that the drain pipe extends 1-1/4″(3.2 cm) into the drain
body. Center the shower fixture over the drain pipe.
Lubricate the gasket/connector with soap solution.
With the drain pipe inserted into the drain body, pull the
gasket/connector over the drain pipe so the raised letters face
upward.
Push the gasket/connector downward into the strainer body so it
fits tightly.
Use a hammer and caulking tool (a short, narrow piece of wood
will suffice if a caulking tool is not available) to carefully drive
the gasket/connector as far into the drain body as possible. The
drain pipe should be even with the top of the gasket/connector.
Proceed to the ″Complete the Installation″section.

4. Option B: Install Using Oakum and Lead
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. An explosion can occur
if moisture comes in direct contact with molten lead. Pre-heat
wet or cold lead on the side of the furnace before adding it to
a pot containing molten lead. Dry the shower fixture, drain
pipe, and all shower drain components before installing the
drain fitting over the drain pipe.
Gather the materials and prepare the site for lead caulking.
Begin melting the lead. Use enough lead to ensure that the joint
can be filled in one pour.
While the lead is melting, yarn and pack oakum into the gap
between the drain pipe and the strainer body to a depth of
1-5/16″(3.3 cm) from the top of the strainer body [5/8″(1.6 cm)
thickness].
Eliminate all loose oakum fibers by packing them into the joint
with a yarning iron or packing iron heated in the molten lead pot.
Pour the molten lead into the joint to the top of the pipe in one
pour. Allow the lead to cool.
With the caulking hammer and the inside caulking iron, drive
down the lead in four places to set the joint.
Move the inside caulking iron slowly around the joint and pound
it with the caulking hammer to thoroughly caulk the inside edge.
With the outside caulking iron, work slowly around the joint with
the caulking hammer to thoroughly caulk the outside edge.

body.
