5. Secure the Unit
Apply 100% silicone sealant in the groove of the backside of the column and perimeter of the top
cap, as illustrated.
Starting from the bottom and working up, insert the column into the cutout.
NOTE: When the screws on the caps are tightened, the attached clamps will flip up and the column will
become flush with the wall material.
Tighten the two screws at the top cap and the bottom cap until the unit is flush against the wall
material. Do not overtighten the screws.
Tape off the area adjacent to the groove where the tile and the column meet. This will help create a
straight, uniform bead of silicone sealant.
Apply a bead of silicone sealant, which is color-matched to the grout, around the perimeter of the
column where the column and the wall material meet.
Remove the tape.
Allow the sealant to cure before proceeding.
Snap the four shelves into place on top of the clips.
Snap the Kohler label into the top cap and the base cover to the bottom of the column, as shown.
