1. Prepare the Site

IMPORTANT! Use water-resistant wallboard backing material for this installation.
Install rough plumbing for the bath and shower components.
Make sure that the studs are plumb within 3/8" (10 mm). Shim as needed.
The locker unit ledge is designed for use as a footrest. Kohler Co. recommends a footrest height of
12" (305 mm) to 16" (406 mm), measured from the shower floor to the locker room ledge.
Determine the height of the enclosure and the locker unit.
Refer to the dimensions in the illustration above, and install 2x4 bracing where you will install the
locker unit.
To determine the height of the bottom bracing, subtract 1" (25 mm) from the desired height of the
footrest.
Install wallboard backing material over the locker unit opening with the same dimensions as the 2x4
bracing cutout.
