Install The Plumbing; Make Electrical Connections - Kohler RiverBath K-1360 Guide D'installation

6. Install the Plumbing

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Ensure a watertight seal on the whirlpool drain.
- Connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer's instructions.
NOTICE: An access panel will simplify future maintenance.
- K 1360 only: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the integral fill valves according to local codes. An
additional hole is pre drilled in the bath shell for the handshower. Install the handshower at this time. Connect
the end of the handshower hose to the open port of the transfer valve (beneath the bath rim). The transfer valve
includes an integral vacuum breaker that protects both the fill spouts and the handshower from water backflow.
- K 1365 and K 1365 F only: Install the faucet valving according to the faucet manufacturer's instructions. Connect
the valving to the whirlpool fill ports (spouts) according to local codes.
NOTE: For the K 1360, make sure the handshower is connected to the transfer valve, and the transfer valve stem
is rotated fully clockwise.
- All models: Do not install the faucet trim until instructed. Open the hot and cold water supplies, and check the
supply connections for leakage.
- Run water into the whirlpool, and check the drain connections for leakage.
- Rotate the transfer valve stem, and check the handshower connections for leakage.

7. Make Electrical Connections

NOTE: The whirlpool model number is printed on a label near the whirlpool pumps. This label also identifies the
electrical rating of the whirlpool.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the pumps to two properly
grounded, grounding type receptacles protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's). Do not remove
the plugs' grounding pins. Do not use grounding adapters.
- Your Kohler whirlpool bath is equipped with cords and plugs. All wiring of the pumps and controls has been
completed at the factory. A licensed electrician must install two GFCI protected, 120 V, 20 A, grounded outlets. No
other loads should be on these circuits. Locate the outlets behind the whirlpool, and within 24" (61cm) of the
pumps.
- Plug the pumps into these outlets.
