Cut The Pump Banding Straps; Install The Plumbing - Kohler K-1360 Guia De Instalacion

5. Cut the Pump Banding Straps

IMPORTANT! This step is necessary to make your Kohler whirlpool operate more quietly.
Use tin snips to cut the two pump banding straps from each whirlpool pump.
NOTE: Do not raise the pumps higher than they were before you cut the pump banding straps. If the
pumps are raised too high, they will not prime properly. Make sure the rubber isolation feet are in place.
To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pumps are not in direct contact with the
whirlpool after the pump banding straps are cut. The pump controls contain rubber isolation feet to
reduce pump noise.

6. Install the Plumbing

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Ensure a watertight seal on the whirlpool drain.
Connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer's instructions.
NOTICE: An access panel will simplify future maintenance.
K-1360 only: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the integral fill valves according to
local codes. An additional hole is pre-drilled in the bath shell for the handshower. Install the
handshower at this time. Connect the end of the handshower hose to the open port of the transfer
valve (beneath the bath rim). Make sure the transfer valve stem is rotated fully clockwise. The
transfer valve includes an integral vacuum breaker that protects both the fill spouts and the
handshower from water backflow.
K-1365 only: Install the faucet valving according to the faucet manufacturer's instructions. Connect
the valving to the whirlpool fill ports (spouts) according to local codes.
All models: Do not install the faucet trim until instructed. Open the hot and cold water supplies,
and check the supply connections for leakage.
Run water into the whirlpool, and check the drain connections for leakage.
