Before You Begin

☐ Do not attach a dishwasher to the faucet spray outlet.
□ Observe all local plumbing codes and building codes.
□ Shut off the water supplies.
□ Carefully inspect waste and supply tubing for any sign of damage and replace if necessary.
☐ For new installations, assemble the faucet onto the sink before installing the sink.
☐ Before installation, unpack the new faucet and inspect it for damage. Return the faucet to the carton until you are ready to install it.
☐ Do not remove the faucet ground joints, as they contain important back-siphonage protection.
☐ Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of faucets without notice, as specified in the Price Book.

Faucet Body Mounting Stud Hose Threaded Hole Hose Connector

1. Install the Mounting Stud

□ Disconnect the hose from the hose connector.
☐ Screw the mounting stud into the threaded hole at the bottom of the faucet body. The mounting stud should extend slightly beyond the threaded hole in the body.

Faucet Body Hose Rubber Washer Escutcheon Spacer O-Ring

2. Install the Escutcheon (Optional)

NOTE: For installation on marble, do not use plumbers putty. Use the self-adhesive gaskets provided. Remove the paper backing and apply the gaskets (adhesive side down) over the outside holes.

For 1-hole Installations:

☐ The escutcheon, spacer, and O-ring are not required. Slide the rubber washer over the faucet tubing and hose.
☐ Insert the faucet tubing and hose into the hole.

For 3-hole Installations:

□ Apply a bead of plumbers putty to the underside of the escutcheon according to the putty manufacturer's instructions.
☐ Insert the O-ring into the groove in the spacer.
☐ Slide the rubber washer, escutcheon, and spacer (O-ring side down) over the faucet tubing and hose.
☐ Insert the faucet tubing and hose into the center hole, carefully aligning the escutcheon.
□ Press down on the escutcheon.
□ Remove any excess putty.

Hose Connector Bracket Washer Nut Weight Screw Hose Weight 23" (58.4 cm)

3. Faucet Installation

☐ Position the bracket, washer and nut onto the mounting stud from the underside of the sink.
□ Position the faucet and escutcheon on the sink to obtain the desired alignment.
☐ Tighten the nut to secure the faucet onto the sink. For best access, use a socket wrench with a 7/16" deep socket.

NOTE: The weight must be installed to act as a pull stop and to prevent kinking damage to the hose.

☐ Attach the weight to the hose 23" (58.4 cm) from the loose end of the hose. The weight may be moved to adjust the pull-out length of the hose.
□ Carefully tighten the weight screws. Do not overtighten.
□ Reconnect the hose to the hose connector.

Supply Tube Coupling Nut Supply Stop

4. Install the Supplies

CAUTION: Risk of restricted waterflow and product damage. Use extreme care when bending the supply tubes to avoid kinking.

CAUTION: Risk of back siphonage. Do not remove the ground joints from this faucet. The ground joints contain very important back-siphonage protection.

□ Install the sink using the sink manufacturer's instructions.
□ Connect the supply tubes to the supply stops. Left is hot, right is cold.
□ Tighten all connections.
