DRAIN LOCATION
We recommend the KĆ7179 Drain for this
installation. The KĆ7179 Drain has been specially
designed for the Custom BodySpa, and uses a
large capacity strainer and drain tube to reduce
drainage time. The drain tube section of the
KĆ7179 Drain is provided by the installer, and
must be 1Ć1/2Ćinch (I.D.) rigid PVC tubing.
The KĆ7179 Drain overflow assembly is designed
for a finished wall thickness between 3/4 and
1Ć3/4Ćinches, and for a maximum finished basin
thickness of 1Ć1/2Ćinches at the drain.
The drain should not be located more than
48Ćinches from the drain tee.
Refer to the roughingĆin information included
with the KĆ7179 Drain for specific details.
NOTE: The KĆ7179 Drain is packed with its own
installation instructions. Please refer to that
document to install the drain.
You can use a floor drain other than the KĆ7179 if
you wish. Any floor drain used for this
installation must drain water at a minimum rate
of 10 gallons per minute to minimize drainage
time, and must use 1Ć1/2Ćinch (I.D.) drain tubing.
Be sure to follow the drain manufacturer's
instructions.
WATERPROOFING MATERIAL
WARNING: Risk of property damage and
concealed leakage. To achieve a watertight
BodySpa installation, it is critical that you install a
waterproofing membrane or applied compound
according to the material manufacturer's
instructions. Kohler Co. will not be liable for
damage caused by waterproofing materials that are
improperly installed or sealed.
The Custom BodySpa produces water flow rates up to 80
gallons per minute. To achieve a watertight
installation, it is critical that you install a waterproofing
membrane or applied compound to the entire floor and
wall surfaces (up to the ceiling). You must follow the
material manufacturer's instructions to ensure a
watertight installation.
