Thank You For Choosing Kohler Company

We appreciate your commitment to Kohler quality. Please take a few minutes to review this manual before

you start installation. If you encounter any installation or performance problems, please don’t hesitate to

Company.

Before You Begin

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not support the bath by the rim.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

Unpack and inspect the bath for damage. Return the bath to the carton until installation.

Before installation, ensure proper access to the ﬁnal plumbing connections.

Install the bath to an adequately supported, level subﬂoor.

This bath is designed for drop-in or raised-deck installation.

Provide properly dimensioned framing.

The basin area requires no additional support when the subﬂoor is level and square with the stud

framing. Consider using shims for additional support if the subﬂoor is uneven.

Verify adequate mounting and connection space for the faucet.

Conﬁrm adequate support for the faucet. Large deck-mount faucets that may be inadvertently used

as a means of support are not appropriate or safe for this installation.

This bath conforms to ANSI Standard Z124.1. All dimensions are nominal.

Illustrations shown may not represent your actual product.

Plus:

• Conventional woodworking tools and materials

• Drop cloth

• 2x4 or 2x6 lumber

• Construction adhesive (optional)

1. Prepare the Site

WARNING: Risk of product damage. Do not support the bath by the rim. Provide a 1/16″(2 mm) gap

between the ﬁnished deck/ﬂoor surface.

NOTICE: Adequate ﬂoor support must be provided. Consult the roughing-in sheet packed with your bath

for speciﬁc ﬂoor loading requirements.

Make sure the ﬂooring offers adequate support for your bath. Verify the subﬂoor is ﬂat and level.

NOTE: This bath should be installed in a drop-in or raised deck installation. If a deck-mounted faucet and

valving are planned, ensure that adequate space is available for their installation.

When constructing the framing, be sure to allow for the thickness of the ﬁnished wall materials.

Design and construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing for your particular installation. Frame the ﬂoor, or

construct a frame for a raised deck installation according to the roughing-in information. Ensure

there is a 1/16″(2 mm) gap between the ﬁnished deck/ﬂoor surface so the bath does not rest on the

rim.

Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information. Cap the supplies and check for

leaks.

NOTE: For corner installations, cut a hole large enough to allow for the diagonal positioning of the drain.

Unless the bath is elevated for an above-ﬂoor drain installation, a hole will need to be cut to

accommodate the drain connections. Refer to the roughing-in information.

2. Prepare the Bath

Install the drain to the bath according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions. Do not connect the

trap at this time.

Position a clean drop cloth or similar material in the bottom of the bath. Be careful not to scratch the

surface of the bath.

3. Secure the Bath to the Subﬂoor – Models With Support Blocks Only

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not support the bath by the rim.

Verify the subﬂoor is level. Shim the bath support blocks as necessary to achieve level.

Secure the bath to the subﬂoor using ″Option 1: Secure Using Cement or Mortar Bed″OR ″Option 2:

Secure Using Construction Adhesive.″

Option 1: Secure Using Cement or Mortar Bed

Frame the floor

according to the

roughing-in information.

Position

the rough

plumbing.

Verify that the subfloor

offers adequate support,

and is flat and level.

Provide a 1/16" (2 mm)

gap between the bath rim

and framing.

Construct 2x4 or

2x6 stud framing

according to the

roughing-in

information.

Kohler Co. 3 1023730-2-F

Secure the Bath to the Subﬂoor – Models With Support Blocks Only (cont.)

Spread a 2″(5.1 cm) thick layer of cement or mortar on the subﬂoor where the bath will be placed.

This will help secure, level and support the bath.

NOTE: The support blocks must rest directly on the support ﬂoor.

Clear all the material away from the support block locations.

NOTE: Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound for this application, as they will not provide an

acceptable, durable bond.

Position a piece of plastic drop cloth or similar material over the cement or mortar bed.

With help, carefully lift the bath into place and make sure the support blocks do not rest in the bed

material. Verify that the bath is level and resting on all support blocks.

Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap.

Remove the protective tape from the bath rim.

Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the entire rim of the bath.

Option 2: Secure Using Construction Adhesive

Apply a generous amount of high-quality construction adhesive to the bottom of the support blocks.

With help, carefully lift the bath into place and verify it is level and resting on all support blocks.

Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap.

Remove the protective tape from the bath rim.

Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the entire rim of the bath.

5. Prepare the Faucet Installation – Models K-1227 and K-1232 Only

NOTE: K-1232 will accept faucets with either 4″(10.2 cm) or 6″(15.2 cm) centers. K-1227 will only accept

faucets with 4″(10.2 cm) centers. A typical 4″(10.2 cm) centerset faucet roughing-in is shown in the

illustration.

Measure and cut a piece of 1/2″(1.3 cm) exterior grade plywood to act as a support for the faucets.

For K-1277, cut a 4″(10.2 cm) x 11-1/2″(29.2 cm) piece. For K-1232, cut a 4″(10.2 cm) x 15-1/2″

(39.4 cm) piece.

Position the faucet in the center of the ﬂat area on the bath rim. Refer to the faucet manufacturer’s

instructions.

Mark the faucet centerlines for drilling with a pencil. Do not drill at this time.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. To avoid damage to the bath, position a thin piece of cardboard

on the ﬁnished surface of the bath and under the clamps before tightening the clamps.

Make sure the clamps do not make direct contact with the ﬁnished surface of the bath.

Place a thin piece of cardboard on the ﬁnished surface of the bath rim.

Position the plywood on the underside of the bath rim, then clamp the plywood into place. Make

sure the clamps do not make direct contact with the ﬁnished surface of the bath.

Refer to the installation instructions packed with the faucet to determine faucet hole size.

Carefully drill the faucet holes.

6. Install the Plumbing

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Bath rim-mounted faucets that may be inadvertently used as a

means of support are not appropriate or safe for this installation.

(29.2 cm) for the K-1227, or 4" (10.2 cm) x 15-1/2"

(39.4 cm) for the K-1332.

Clean-Up Procedures

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not allow cleaners containing petroleum distillates to remain

in contact with the surface for long periods of time.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may scratch and dull the

bath surface. Use warm water and a liquid, non-abrasive detergent to clean the surface.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, or other metal tools to

remove stains, paint, plaster, or tar. Use turpentine or paint thinner to remove stains, paint, or tar. Use

a powder-type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild abrasive action to any residual plaster.

Clean and rinse the bath completely with water immediately after applying cleaners. Rinse and dry

any overspray that lands on nearby surfaces.
