1. Prepare the Site

NOTICE: Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.
NOTICE: Provide adequate floor support.
NOTICE: Measure your actual product for site preparation. Note the model number located on the
whirlpool pump, then visit the product page at kohler.com for additional information.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your whirlpool, and verify that the subfloor is
flat and level.
The whirlpool can be installed in a drop-in, flush, alcove, or tile-in installation. Construct 2x4 stud
framing designed for your particular installation. Frame the floor, or construct a frame for a raised
installation.
Use the template packed with the whirlpool to carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material.
For flush-mount installation, allow for the thickness of the planned deck material.
Position the plumbing. Cap the supplies, and check for leaks.

2. Prepare the Whirlpool

Install the drain to the whirlpool 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 whirlpool. Be careful not to
scratch the surface of the whirlpool.
