Install The Module - Kohler К-1643 Installation Manual

Use the pre-drilled
holes in the
nailing-in flanges

2. Install the Module

- Remove the packaging from the front of the module.
- Install the drain to the whirlpool module according to the drain manufacturer's instructions.
- Use a drop cloth or similar material to protect the bottom surface of the module.
- Lay out and mark the location of the mixing valve, shower, and bath spout holes on the back (unfinished) surface of the
module wall. Drill 1/4" (6mm) pilot holes at the marked locations.
- From inside the module (finished surface), use a hole saw of the correct diameter to carefully drill the fitting holes. Refer to
the fitting manufacturer's instructions to determine the correct hole sizes.
- Clean the module to reduce the risk of surface damage.
- With help, carefully move the module into the recess.
- Be sure the bottom of the module is firmly supported against the floor. You may need to adjust some of the framing. Use
shims as necessary. However, no additional support is required. The module must be plumb and level to ensure proper
shower door installation.
- Use #6 large head galvanized nails to fasten the nailing in flanges to the studs. Use the pre drilled holes in the nailing in
flanges. Be careful to avoid damaging the module surface - shim between the nailing in flange and the studs to fill any gaps.
