NOTE: Do not turn the thermostatic mixing valve stem at
this time. Turning the mixing valve stem will change the
factory calibration setting.
Turn the water on for several minutes, then position a
thermometer in the water stream. If the existing water
supply conditions match the factory conditions, the water
temperature should be close to 104_ F (40_ C). If the
water temperature is not close to 104_ F (40_ C), remove
and discard the plaster guard if it is still attached.
Slowly rotate the thermostatic mixing valve stem until the
water temperature is a constant 104_ F (40_ C). The white
mark on the limit stop should be in line with the black mark
on the mixing valve body. If necessary, carefully pry the
limit stop off the valve cartridge with a thin blade, and
re-install it so the white mark faces upward as required.
The limit stop must be correctly positioned to ensure trim
fit.
Do not turn the thermostatic mixing valve stem after you
adjust the temperature setting until you have installed the
mixing handle trim.

Remove and discard the plaster guard if it is still in place.
Thread the collar(s) to the valve, and hand tighten.
Verify that each trim seal is correctly installed in an
escutcheon hole. The seal(s) should be installed so the
flat side faces outward, and the tapered side in.
Remove the backing from the adhesive gasket material.
Starting at the escutcheon drain opening, carefully apply
the gasket material around the back edge surface of the
escutcheon. Trim away any excess gasket material so the
escutcheon drain opening is not blocked.
Carefully slip the escutcheon over the collar(s) and
against the finished wall. Position the escutcheon so the
"Kohler" logo is to the top. Secure the escutcheon to the
valve with two screws.
NOTE: For the K-400 mixing valve, proceed to Fig. #10,
