Secure The Whirlpool To The Stud Framing; Cut The Pump Banding Straps - Kohler K-1315 Installation Manual

Nail 1/4" (6 mm)
thick furring strips
to the back studs.
Stud
Use #6 large-head galvanized
nails to secure the back
nailing-in flange to the studs.

7. Secure the Whirlpool to the Stud Framing

Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap. Make sure the whirlpool is level and resting on all support
feet.
NOTE: Do not secure the side (vertical) nailing-in flange at this time.
Drill a small pilot hole through the nailing-in flange at each stud. Add shims between the nailing-in
flange and the studs as needed to eliminate gaps.
Nail 1/4" (6 mm) thick furring strips to the studs to shim out to the edge of the nailing-in flange.
Use #6 large-head galvanized nails to secure the back nailing-in flange to the studs.

8. Cut the Pump Banding Straps

IMPORTANT! This step is necessary to make your Kohler whirlpool operate more quietly.
Use tin snips to cut the two pump banding straps from the whirlpool pump.
NOTE: Do not raise the pump higher than it was before you cut the pump banding straps. If the pump is
raised too high, it will not prime properly. Make sure the rubber isolation feet are in place.
To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pump is not in direct contact with the
shipping bracket after the pump banding straps are cut. The pump control contains rubber isolation
feet to reduce pump noise.
