Before you remove your old fixture, unpack the new lavatory and carefully inspect it for any damage that may have occured. Vitreous china and enameled cast iron may chip, and you discover damage after the unit has been installed. Until you are ready to begin installation, set the lavatory back in the original packing carton to prevent damage.

Make sure you have a cut-out template to aid you in locating your faucet centerline on the countertop, and incutting outyour countertop.

LOCATING THE FAUCET CENTERLINE

DRAW PRELIMINARY FAUCET CENTERLINE

This lavatory is a unique installation with the faucet fittings mounted on the countertop rather than on the lavatory itself.

The best location of the faucet centerline is determined by three items: the size of the fitting or faucet spout escutcheons, length of faucet spout, and clearance between the faucet spout and lavatory rim.

FAUCET LOCATION

1.Refer to Fig. #1 . Determine if the faucet spout escutcheon or

faucet handle escutcheon will be closer to the lavatory rim when installed. Items to consider are the sizes of the different faucet components and the lavatory shape. The escutcheon found to be closest to the lavatory rim will be used in step 2.

Faucet Handle Escutcheon

Faucet Spout Escutcheon

Lavatory Rim

NOTE: The following instructions refer to the installation of Model K---2332, in an above counter installation.

NOTE: Wall-mount faucet installations: Be sure to provide sufficient spout overhang into the lavatory basin. Make surethat the water stream is directed to the center of the lavatory and there is sufficient hand washing clearance.

NOTE: Countertop faucet installations: Pay special attention tothe spout and handlefit clearancewhen locatingthe faucet,as noted below.

Countertop faucet installations: Use the template to locate the faucet spouthole centerline to provideadequate clearance between the edge of the lavatory and the spout.

Refer to Fig. #2 . Check for adequate clearancebetween the backsplash, faucet spoutand handles and lavatory.Kohler recommends clearance of at least 1” (2.5cm) between:

D the installed lavatory and the faucet spout; D the installed lavatory and the end of the faucet handles D the faucet spout and handles, and the backsplash.

Refer to the faucet installation instructions for the required clearance, and mark the preferred faucet hole locations.

2.Measure the escutcheon, front-to-back, that was found to be

closest to the rim in step 1. This escutcheon measurement may also be found on the faucet roughing-in page.

3.Divide the front-to-back dimension in half, and add 1/4”.

Standard sizes are shown in the chart on the next page. The distance found will be used to draw the preliminary faucet centerline.

NOTE: For all front to back dimensions, round up to the nearest 1/16” (2mm) if required.

DRAW PRELIMINARY FAUCET CENTERLINE

1. Draw the distance determined in FAUCET LOCATION as the

preliminary centerline on the cut-out template. It should be parallel and behind the cut-out template reference line (located on the cut-out template).

NOTE: On the full-size rim section found on the cut-out template, mark the preliminary faucet centerline dimension. This will be used to DETERMINE FINAL FAUCET CENTER-

LINE.

DETERMINE FINAL FAUCET CENTERLINE

NOTE: If you are installing a tiled-in lavatory,proceed toStep 1B. The preliminary faucet line from DRAW PRELIMINARY FAUCET LINE is the final faucet line in this case.

1. When this preliminary faucet centerline has been drawn the

spout must be checked for three items:

A. Refer to Fig. #2. For low profile faucet spouts, the

distance between the faucet spout and the lavatory rim must be a minimum of 1/4” (6mm). Use the faucet spout, the preliminary faucet centerline,and the full size rim sectionon the cut-outtemplate to check this. If there is not 1/4” (6mm) clearance, move the preliminary faucet centerline back. Recheck the clearance until you have 1/4”(6mm). Measure the distanceof the new faucet centerline. Redraw the new faucet centerline behind the reference line on the cut-out template. Remark this dimension on the full size rim section. This is the final faucet centerline.

FAUCET CLEARANCE WITH BACKSPLASH

NOTE: 2-1/2” (6,4cm) of space is requiredfor the KohlerBravura

widespread and Cirrus Sheetflow faucet spouts.

1.Refer to Fig. #4. Draw a line 2” (5cm) behind the final faucet

centerline on the cut-out template. This is the minimum backsplash locator line. It is drawn to ensure adequate clearance behind the faucet for proper installation. It will also help position the lavatory on the countertop. Cut along this backsplash locator line. Save the section of the cut-out template with the lavatory rim and cut-out lines.

B. Refer to Fig. #3. Check to be sure the water stream will

project 2” (5cm) minimum into the lavatory basin to allow adequate area for hand washing.Use the approximate faucet spout angle,the final faucet centerline and the full-size rim section from the cut-out template to ensure this clearance. If this cannot be accomplished, the faucet is not optimally matched for this lavatory and may not operate on this lavatory to the owner’s satisfaction. You may wish to consider an alternate faucet.

C. Refer to Fig. #3. Check for compliance with all state and

local plumbing codes, including air gap standards.

INSTALLATION

1. To remov e old lav atory, turn off water supp lies. Turn the

lavatory faucet on to drain water from the lines. Disconnect and remove water supply tubes. Disconnect drain and remove trap.

CAUTION: To remove steel frame lavatories, remove

clips or fasteners under lavatory that hold lavatory to counter. Do not remove clips that hold frame to fixture.

2. Lift lavatory out of countertop with fitting and drain attached, if

applicable.

3. Refer to Fig. #6 . Cut out inside of cut-out template with

scissors on the inside line.

Fig. #6

5. Refer to Fig. #8 . Drill a pilot hole into the countertop using a

1/2” drill. Use a saber or keyhole saw to cut out opening by carefully following the pencil line traced from cut-out template. T emporarily position lavatory into counter, and trace a light pencil line around the outside edge. This will serve asa guideline for applying sealant. Remove fixture from countert op.

NOTE: The rim must be traced so the sealant will cover and conceal the pencil line.

4. Refer to Fig. #7 . Set the cut-out template on the countertop

so the backsplash locator line is touching the countertop backsplash. The cut-out template can be moved forward from this position to get the best placement of the lavatory on the countertop. Tracethe cut-out opening on the countertop using asoft lead pencil. Centerlines are provided to help align opening. Mark the final centerline on the countertop using the cut-out template. Drill the faucet holes using the following chart to determine their size.

NOTE: If there is not enough room at the front of the counter for the lavatory rim, a larger countertop is needed.
