4. 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 the whirlpool pump. When the banding straps are cut, the
pump support bracket and pump will drop about 1/2" (1.3cm) until they rest on the subfloor. If the pump drops
more than 1/2" (1.3cm), shim under the pump support bracket so water will drain from the pump and the suction
line when the whirlpool is drained.
NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before you cut the pump banding straps. If the pump is raised
too high, it will not prime properly.
- To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pump is not in direct contact with the shipping bracket
after the pump banding straps are cut.
- Secure the pump support bracket to the subfloor with screws or lag bolts (not provided).
5. 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.
- Install the mixing valve, shower, and spout connections according to the manufacturer's instructions. Do not
install the trim until instructed. Open the water supplies, and check the connections for leakage. Strap the water
supply lines to the stud framing.
- Run water into the whirlpool, and check the drain connections for leakage.
