PILLOWS DECK-MOUNT BATH FAUCET WITH FLUME SPOUT BEFORE YOU BEGIN NOTES Observe all local plumbing and building codes. Advance planning before installation is crucial. Carefully read the entire instructions before beginning the installation, especially the Installation Planning And Preparation section. Component location, spacing, and situational requirements can vary. The illustrations do not show all configurations. Check for elbows and tubing needed. Dry fit the assemblies before soldering. Provide an access panel for all installations. Solder all connections from the transfer valve to the spout, and from the transfer valve to the hot and cold valves. Use hard-drawn tubing (type M, K, or L) from the valves to the diverter to the spout. Install water-hammer arresters in the supply line. When using compression joints, Kohler Co. recommends an assembly torque of 45 to 60 foot pounds for compression nuts. From handtight, approximately 1/2 turn is needed to produce the required torque with hard-drawn tubing. The vacuum breaker integral in the 3-way transfer valve provides backflow protection for the handshower and optional wall shower.

Carefully plan the installation before beginning the roughing-in. Pillows Faucet Handles Spout Wall Shower Transfer Valve Handshower NOTE: Many different configurations of the components are possible. Your installation may differ from that shown. Decide in advance the location and orientation of the transfer valve. Location of the other components and the direction the inlets/outlets point will affect the piping and connectors you will need. Hot/Cold Supplies Fig. #2 114423-2-CB 2
Materials which are not included, such as the wall shower, water-hammer arresters, and the piping between the components, will affect the location of the components. The minimum distance between the valves is limited by the handle size and the direction the outlets point. Allow clearance for the spout connection. The distance between the transfer valve and the heavy-duty hose connection can be extended with piping below the deck, but may not be safe or practical. A long run of piping will mean a long run of room-temperature standing water when the handshower is first activated for use. Determine the distance from the transfer valve to the other components, and to the wall and fixture. Allow sufficient working room for making the soldered connections to the transfer valve. Long runs of piping should be secured to the underside of the deck/rim. If the piping cannot be secured at a point near the transfer valve, secure the transfer valve from underneath with blocking lumber or other suitable support. As supplied, the handspray should not be located more than approximately 28 from the transfer valve. This allows easy access to the connection between the decorative and heavy-duty hoses. INSTALLATION INSTALL SPOUT Thread the mounting nut (flange side up) completely onto the spout tee. Slide one fiber washer, followed by one rubber washer, onto the spout tee. Insert the spout tee up through the hole in the deck. Thread the flange nut to the top threads of the spout tee, and tighten until snug. Carefully fit the O-ring onto the top goove of the spout tee.
