Installation Guide

Tools and Materials
Before You Begin
Shut off the water supply.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Do not use this flow spout as a showerhead because it will cause
excessive splashing and does not meet showerhead codes.
Refer to the product specification sheet for recommended valves.
NOTE: A flow rate lower than the flow rate listed on the
specification sheet may disrupt the water flow.
The drip tray is an optional accessory available for the wall
mount but not for the ceiling mount.
A water hammer arrestor is recommended in ceiling mounted
applications using a high flow, deck mounted valve. Kohler Co.
recommends that a Sioux Chief 652-AD vacuum breaker arrester
be located near the outlet side of the valve. Contact Sioux Chief at
1-800-821-3944 or www.siouxchief.com.
For ceiling mount applications, the height from the bottom of the
bath to the spout should not exceed 9’ (2.7 m).
In applications where excessive air could enter the water supply,
install an air separator to eliminate air bubbles.
When a deck mounted transfer valve (K-408-K or K-409-K) is
used for a ceiling mount, install a check valve between the spout
and the diverter.
