Kohler PORTRAIT LITE K-4217 Installation Manual page 4

Assemble bolt cap bases, washers, and nuts on exposed
T-bolts. Hand-tighten nuts, then tighten additional 1/2-turn
with wrench.
CAUTION: Overtightening may cause breakage
or chipping.
If T-bolts extend more than 1/4" from top of nut, cut off ex-
cess. Wipe away any residue. Install bolt caps.
TO INSTALL NEW TANK
Make sure the three tank bolts extend fully through the
holes in the gasket. Set the tank onto the bowl using the
bolts as a guide. Center the gasket on the inlet of the bowl.
Assemble the washers and brass hex nuts onto the bolts.
CAUTION: Overtightening may cause breakage
or chipping.
Alternately tighten the three brass hex nuts so that the top
of the tank is level with the top of the bowl and a watertight
seal is obtained.
TO CONNECT WATER SUPPLY
NOTICE: Read carefully before performing this step.
For supply installation, refer to instructions packed with
shut-off valve. Carefully bend tubing to fit.
Cut tubing end 1/4" longer than distance between shut-off
valve and supply shank. Remove any burrs from inside of
tube.
Slip coupling nut, compression nut, and ferrule onto
tubing. Insert tubing into shut-off valve and supply shank,
positioning seal washer (supplied) or compression
washer (not supplied) as shown. Hand-tighten coupling
nut and then tighten compression nut.
WARNING: Risk of external leakage. The fill
valve nut has been factory-tightened to design
specifications. If re-tightening is required, wrench
tighten one turn past finger tight.
