The provided documentation details aspects of Kohler bathtub installation, model identification, and care instructions. Kohler offers a range of bathtubs, and installation procedures are generally handled by certified professionals. The documentation emphasizes pre-installation planning, careful handling of the tubs due to their weight, and adherence to local plumbing codes. A significant portion of the provided material consists of a listing of Kohler bathtub models and associated documentation types, such as installation manuals, roughing-in guides, and homeowner’s manuals.
Pre-Installation Considerations
Prior to installing a Kohler bathtub, several preparatory steps are recommended. According to the documentation, measuring the bathroom space is crucial to ensure the chosen tub’s dimensions and door swing (if applicable, for walk-in tubs) will fit comfortably. Selecting finishes and features, including color and fixtures, allows for personalization. Scheduling the installation at a convenient time minimizes disruption to the household.
Kohler provides guidance throughout the process, and a certified installation team handles the entire procedure, eliminating the need for coordinating multiple contractors. The installation process typically involves removing the existing tub or shower, adjusting plumbing and drains, and securing, sealing, and testing the new tub to ensure all features function correctly.
Installation Procedures and Safety
The documentation highlights the importance of safety during installation. Cast iron bathtubs are noted as being extremely heavy, requiring at least five people to assist with handling. Installers are advised to wear appropriate safety equipment.
Key requirements for proper installation include observing all local plumbing codes, ensuring a level floor, providing adequately dimensioned space, and verifying the drain location is within the specified range (300 x 300mm). The documentation also stresses the need for adequate floor support to bear the weight of the tub. Caution is advised when handling the painted surfaces of the tub and any surrounding wood components to prevent scratches during transportation and installation.
