IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE FOR THE
CONSUMER
WARNING: Risk of scalding or other severe injury.
•Before completing installation, the installer must set the
maximum water temperature setting of this valve to minimize the
risks associated with scalding hazards according to ASTM F 444.
•Do not install a shut-off device on either outlet of this valve. The
installation of any such device may create a cross-flow condition
at the valve and affect the water temperature.
•Factors that change the temperature of the water supplied to the
valve, such as seasonal water temperature changes, and water
heater replacement or servicing, will change the maximum water
temperature supplied by the valve and may create a scalding
hazard.
•The pressure-balanced valve will not compensate for changes in
the water supply temperature; adjust the maximum water
temperature setting of this pressure-balanced valve when such
changes occur.
•Pressure-balanced valves may not provide protection against
scalding if there is a failure of other temperature-limiting devices
elsewhere in the plumbing system.
The installer is responsible for installing the valve and adjusting the
maximum water temperature of this pressure-balanced valve
according to instructions.
This valve meets or exceeds ANSI A112.18.1 and ASSE 1016.
If you do not understand any of the installation or temperature
adjustment instructions in this document, in the United States please
contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-4-KOHLER.
Outside the U.S., please contact your distributor.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INSTALLERS! Please fill in the blanks in
the information box in the Homeowners Guide and on the valve label.
Retain the Homeowners Guide for future reference.

Tools and Materials
Before You Begin
CAUTION: Risk of product damage to the K-306-KS valve
assembly. When using this valve in a fiberglass or acrylic
installation, use the Thin Wall Installation Kit (88526).
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Before installation, unpack the new faucet and inspect it for
damage. Return the faucet to the carton until you are ready to
install it.
The finished wall or bath/shower unit must be installed prior to
installing this trim.
We recommend that you determine if the maximum water
temperature is acceptable prior to installing this trim. If
temperature adjustment is needed, refer to the “Adjust the Water
Temperature” section.
The valve shuts off by water pressure. Do not force the handle in
any direction. To turn the valve off, gently turn it to the “Off”
position.
Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of
faucets without notice, as specified in the Price Book.

3. Water Temperature Adjustment
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. The water temperature
should never be set above 120° F (49° C).
NOTE: Do not remove the O-ring and collar at this time. Removing
the O-ring and collar will change the factory setting for the
maximum water temperature.
Turn the valve clockwise to the full open position and let the hot
water run for several minutes. Position a thermometer in the
water stream and check the temperature.
For minor water temperature changes, adjust the setscrew, and
recheck the water temperature.
For major water temperature changes, remove the O-ring and
collar from the valve stem. Slowly rotate the valve stem until the
desired maximum water temperature is reached.
Reinstall the collar on the valve stem with the setscrew against
the side of the tab.
Reinstall the O-ring, rotate the valve stem counterclockwise to
shut the water off.
Recheck the water temperature to ensure desired maximum water
temperature.
NOTE: After adjustment, complete the required information on the
valve label (if supplied).

INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANTES
À LIRE ET À LAISSER AU CLIENT
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de brûlures ou de blessures graves.
•Avant de commencer l’installation, l’installateur doit régler la
température maximale de l’eau de cette valve pour réduire au
minimum les risques de brûlures, ceci conformément à la norme
ASTM F 444.
•Ne pas installer un dispositif d’arrêt sur les sorties de cette valve.
L’installation d’un tel dispositif peut créer une condition
d’écoulement croisé au régulateur et modifier la température de
l’eau.
•Les facteurs qui changent la température de l’eau fournie à cette
valve, tels que les changements des saisons et la température de
d’eau, et le remplacement ou l’entretien du chauffeau, changeront
la température maximale de l’eau fournie par le régulateur et
pourront présenter un danger de brûlures.
•La valve à pression équilibrée ne compensera pas pour les
changements de température d’eau fournie; ajuster la température
maximale de cette valve à pression équilibrée si de tels
changements se produisent.
•Les valves à pression équilibrée peuvent ne pas assurer une
protection contre les brûlures en cas de défaillance d’autres
dispositifs de limitation de température installés ailleurs sur le
réseau de plomberie.
L’installateur est responsable de l’installation de la valve et du
réglage de la température maximale de l’eau de cette valve à pression
équilibrée conformément aux instructions.
Cette valve satisfait ou excède les exigences des normes ANSI
A112.18.1M et ASSE 1016.
