Frequently Asked Questions - K-13474 KOHLER

How to install the K-13474 faucet?

Refer to the provided installation guide. Prepare a 32-38 mm hole, secure the faucet with the nut and washer, then connect the water hoses and power supply according to the model (hybrid or AC).

What type of power supply is needed?

The faucet operates with a 3V DC power supply (hybrid cell) or 120V AC via a power adapter. Some models may use AAA batteries, but the K-13474 is generally hybrid or AC.

How to adjust the maximum water temperature?

Use the provided 2.5 mm hex key to remove the handle, then reposition it to the desired setting. For vandal-resistant installations, use the cap after adjustment. Do not exceed 49°C to prevent burns.

What to do if the sensor does not work properly?

Ensure the area in front of the sensor is clear for 2 minutes after powering on for calibration. If the problem persists, disconnect and reconnect the power to reset the sensor.

How to clean the strainers?

Close the water supply, remove the strainers from the fittings, clean them with clean water, and reinstall them. Perform this operation periodically to ensure optimal flow.

Can I use this faucet with a water heater?

Yes, the faucet is compatible with water heaters. Ensure the hot water temperature does not exceed 49°C to prevent burns and comply with local plumbing codes.

How to install the vandal-resistant mode?

Set the desired temperature with the handle, remove the handle and spring washer, then firmly press the supplied vandal-resistant cap. Keep the handle for later adjustment.

What is the purge procedure after installation?

Open the water supply and let the water run for about 1 minute to remove debris. Check for leaks and adjust connections if necessary. Reinstall the aerator after purging.

Does the faucet work without electricity?

No, the faucet requires electrical power (hybrid battery or AC) for the sensor and solenoid valve. In case of power failure, water will not flow automatically. Some models may have a manual backup function, but this is not mentioned here.

How to reset the sensor after a power outage?

Disconnect then reconnect the power supply. Avoid placing objects in front of the sensor for 2 minutes to allow calibration. The sensor will automatically sweep the detection distance.
