Prepare The Site - Kohler K-1013 Guia De Instalacion

1. Prepare the Site

WARNING: Risk of product damage. Do not support the bath by the rim.
NOTICE: Unless otherwise specified, floor support under the bath must provide for a minimum of 80
lbs./square foot (390 Kg./square meter) loading.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your bath, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.
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, allow for the thickness of the finished wall materials.
Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing designed for your particular installation. Frame the floor, or
construct a frame for a raised deck installation according to the roughing-in information. Ensure that
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.
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.
