Before You Begin
This product is designed for drop-in island installation. Undermount and alcove installations are also
possible.
You must install the bath onto an adequately supported, level subfloor.
Provide properly dimensioned framing.
Choose a fill spout which will provide adequate reach and a minimum 2” (5.1cm) air gap above the
bathing well rim of the unit. You may need to build up the deck material to obtain adequate air space
because the outer rim may be lower than the bathing well rim depending on the specific area of the bath.
Follow local plumbing codes.
The unit must be filled with water through the bathing well, not the overflow channel.
If you plan to install a deck-mounted, hand-held shower, the diverter vacuum breaker must maintain a
minimum 1” (2.5cm) air gap above the outer rim.
When using the K-922 or K-923 Laminar Bath Spout with drip tray K-924, the distance from the finished
wall to the outside wall of overflow channel should not exceed 2” (5.1cm).
