Prepare The Site - Kohler K-710 Guia De Instalacion

1. Prepare the Site

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, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.
When constructing the framing, allow for the thickness of the finished wall materials.
For drop-in or raised-deck installations: Frame the floor, or construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing
according to the roughing-in information. Ensure that there is a 1/16" (2mm) gap between the
finished deck/floor surface so the bath does not rest on the rim. Use the template packed with the
bath to carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information. Cap the supplies and check for
leaks.
For all installations: Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information. Cap the
supplies and check for leaks.
For freestanding installations: Install the finished flooring and wall materials.
2. Prepare the Bath
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Cast iron baths are extremely heavy. Obtain sufficient help to
carefully lift or move the bath.
CAUTION: Risk of product or property damage. Do not support the bath by the rim. Provide
adequate support under the feet.
Remove the bath from its carton and place it on a throw rug or other protective floor covering to
prevent damage to the bath or floor.
For freestanding installations: Install the legs according to the packed instructions.
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.
