Frequently Asked Questions - Purist K-T14414 KOHLER

How to install the spout of the Purist K-T14414 faucet?

Screw the spout onto the shank until tight. Unscrew slightly if needed to orient the spout downward. Tighten the flange with the provided screws. Ensure the O-ring is in place. Apply plumber's putty inside the escutcheon, slide it over the spout and press against the wall. Remove excess putty.

How to adjust the alignment of the handles?

If the handles are not aligned, remove the handle, screw, and splined adapter or stem extension. Rotate the adapter 1/4 turn, check position and repeat until alignment. Then secure with screw and reattach handle assembly.

What finished wall thickness is needed for this faucet?

The faucet accommodates different thicknesses. If thickness is less than 5/8" (1.6 cm), use a longer stem extension, longer screw, and longer threaded sleeve. For thickness from 5/8" to 1-1/4" (3.2 cm), the provided bolting kit 1038270 is suitable.

How to flush debris after installation?

Open both handles (hot on left, cold on right) after removing the aerator. Let water run for about one minute to flush debris. Close valves, clean aerator and reinstall.

Check that all connections are tight. Ensure O-rings are in place and in good condition. If needed, apply thread seal tape on threads. If leak persists, contact Kohler.
