Important Information

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not modify the
vanity. Doing so will compromise structural stability and may
cause property damage.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Use care when
moving the vanity to avoid impacting, sliding, or
side-loading the legs.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Select 250 lb (113.4
kg) load bearing 5/16″ lag bolts with a length to clear
obstacles in the wall and 5/16″ washers. Calculate proper lag
bolt length by adding the following: 1-1/2″ (38 mm) backing
material + wallboard thickness + back rail thickness.

Plus:

• Wood Screws

• 2x6s

• 5/16" Lag Bolts and Washers
[Min 250 lb (113.4 kg) Load Bearing]

• Socket Wrenches

• Siliconized Acrylic Caulk

NOTICE: Siliconized acrylic caulk must be used to secure the sink
to the vanity. Do not use 100% silicone sealant which will damage
the finish of the vanity.

NOTICE: The finished wall must be straight and plumb to ensure
proper support of the vanity and alignment of the sink and door.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Provide 2x6 backing material behind the finished wall to properly

support the vanity.

Backing
Material

32-1/2" (826 mm)

1. Prepare the Site

NOTICE: If the K-2607 bridge cabinet will also be installed, extend
the backing material a minimum of 12″ (305 mm) beyond the width
of the vanity on the side where the bridge will be installed.

NOTICE: To properly secure the vanity, the top of the required 2x6
backing material must be 32-1/2″ (826 mm) from the finished floor.

Measure and mark 32-1/2″ (826 mm) up from the finished floor.
This will be the height from the finished floor to the top of the
2x6 backing material.

Ensure there are no obstructions in the wall (such as wiring or
plumbing) from the marked height down to the floor. If there are
obstructions, select another area to install the vanity.

NOTICE: Extend the backing material beyond the width of the
vanity to the nearest stud to ensure proper support for the vanity.

Front-notch the studs 1-1/2″ (38 mm) to ensure the 2x6 backing
material is flush against the studs.

Secure the 2x6 backing material to the studs with framing nails.
Rough-in the water supply and drain lines into the rough-in

plumbing area of the vanity.

NOTICE: The finished wall must be straight and plumb to ensure
proper support of the vanity and alignment of the sink and door.

2. Secure the Vanity

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Use care when
moving the vanity to avoid impacting, sliding, or
side-loading the legs.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Select 250 lb (113.4
kg) load bearing 5/16″ lag bolts with a length that can safely
clear obstacles in the wall and 5/16″ washers. Calculate the
proper length of the lag bolts by adding the following: 1-1/2″
(38 mm) backing material + wallboard thickness + back rail
thickness.

With assistance, lift and place the vanity in position against the
finished wall. Do not drag the vanity into position.

Verify the vanity is level and the back rail is plumb against the
wall. If necessary, turn the leveler(s) to adjust the unit.

Using a 1/4″ drill bit, drill two pilot holes through the back rail
and the finished wall. Verify the pilot holes are positioned to
ensure the lag bolts will engage the 2x6 backing material.

Secure the vanity to the finished wall with two 5/16″ lag bolts
and washers (not provided).

3. Install the Bathroom Sink

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Vitreous china sinks are
very heavy. Get help lifting and aligning the sink.

Install the faucet (if applicable) and drain to the sink. Refer to the
faucet and drain manufacturer’s installation instructions.

NOTICE: Siliconized acrylic caulk must be used to secure the sink
to the vanity. Do not use 100% silicone sealant which will damage
the vanity finish.

Run a 1/4″ (6 mm) continuous bead of siliconized acrylic caulk
around the top of the vanity, as illustrated.

NOTE: The sink is properly positioned when: (1) the back edge of
the sink is flush against the finished wall and (2) the overhang on
the left, right, and front side of the sink is equal on each side of the
vanity.

With assistance, lift and properly position the sink on top of the
vanity.

Immediately wipe away any excess caulk that contacts the vanity.
Run a 1/8″ (3 mm) bead of siliconized acrylic caulk along the top

edge of the sink where it contacts the finished wall.

Care and Cleaning

For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your
KOHLER product:

Vitreous China and Fireclay

•

Use a mild detergent such as liquid dishwashing soap and warm
water for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners that may scratch
or dull the surface.

•

Carefully read the cleaner product label to ensure the cleaner is
safe for use on the material.

•

Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area
before applying to the entire surface.

•

Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak on the surface.

Care and Cleaning (cont.)

•

Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately
after cleaner application. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands
on nearby surfaces.

•

Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive
material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.

Wood Surfaces

•

As with any smooth surface, avoid using abrasive cleaners as
they will scratch the surface. Wipe the wood surface regularly to
prevent buildup of soap and scum.

•

To protect against scratches, use felt, leather, or cork under all
items placed on the wood surface. To conceal scratches, a
touch-up marker is available for order. Contact a Kohler
distributor or call 1-800-4-KOHLER for ordering information.

•

Do not expose wood furniture to direct sunlight, drying heat
sources, or dampness.

•

Dust frequently with a soft cloth in the direction of the grain. Use
only products specifically made for cleaning wood. Avoid using
oily polishes or waxes, or products containing silicone. Blot spills
immediately with a soft, damp cloth.

•

Every six months, remove soil buildup by rubbing with a soft
cloth dampened in a 50/50 solution of warm water and an
ammonia-free detergent. Wipe clean with a cloth dampened in
warm water, then wipe dry.
