Kohler K-301 Installation Manual page 3

Before You Begin (cont.)
Instructions are given for installations with 8" (20.3 cm) centers.
For wider installations, adjust all roughing-in dimensions and
copper tube lengths accordingly. If the spout is to be installed
more than 24" (61 cm) from the valves, Kohler recommends
installing a Sioux Chief 652-AD water hammer arrestor designed
for this type of installation. Install the water hammer arrestor
close to the outlet ports of the valves. For more information
contact Sioux Chief at www.siouxchief.com.
Products purchased separately may change valve placement and
alignment.
These instructions cover two methods of installation: installation
on finished deck or rim, and installation on rough (unfinished)
deck. Follow the sections and directions that pertain to your
installation.
Provide an access panel to the valves for servicing.
Installer-supplied copper tubing is to be: 5/8" OD (1/2" Nom.);
and 7/8" OD (3/4" Nom.) for inlets.
Plaster guard diameters are approximately 1-5/8" (4.1 cm) for the
valve, and 7/8" (2.2 cm) for the spout.
The finished deck material must fit closely to the diameters of the
plastic guards.
The spout plaster guard diameter is 7/8" (2.2 cm) for the spout.
Leave the protective sleeve on the spout supply tube until spout
installation. This is an O-ring sealing surface which may be
damaged when unprotected.
Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of
faucets without notice, as specified in the Price Book.
