Thank You For Choosing Kohler Company

Before You Begin

DANGER: Risk of personal injury. These products are not designed or intended for use as a grab bar or support bar. Do not install any of these products in any area where they are likely to be used inadvertently as a grab bar or support bar.

These products should be located and mounted to a wall stud. While it is possible to mount them to any surface, a stud mounted product will yield the best results.

Use a level to ensure that the center lines for the wall plates are vertical where applicable and the post center lines are horizontal where applicable.

Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions in the design of products without notice, as speci®ed in the Price Book.

Observe all local plumbing codes and building codes.

1. Prepare the Site Ð Wall Plate(s)

NOTE: For the glass shelf, do not drill the mounting holes for the second wall plate until the actual product is measured.

Determine the desired mounting location.

Mark the vertical and horizontal center lines for the accessory to be installed. Consult the roughing-in diagrams to determine the dimensions.

When installing multiple-post accessories, measure the accessories so you can provide the required distance between the center points.

Use a level to ensure that all center points are level.

2. Mark and Drill the Pilot Holes

Mark the pilot hole locations vertically 9/16º (1.4cm) above and below the center point or center points.

Vertically line up the holes on each wall plate. Make sure the larger hole is on the bottom.

If the installation requires multiple posts, con®rm that the centerpoints are even using a level.

NOTE: There is no provision for later adjustment if the center points and resulting pilot holes for multiple-post accessories are not level.

Select a drill and bit that are appropriate for the wall material you will be drilling through.

Carefully drill a 5/16º hole at all marked pilot hole locations.

3. Anchor Installation

NOTE: You may need to disassemble some of the accessories. Some accessories will be packed with the wall plate installed in the post. Loosen the setscrew and remove the wall plate if needed.

Press and hold the legs of a wall anchor (provided) together and insert the wall anchor legs into the hole. Insert all wall anchors into the pre-drilled mounting holes.

With a hammer, carefully tap each wall anchor until they are ¯ush with the ®nished surface.

If the wall anchor was inserted into a space between the studs, it will be necessary to spread the wall anchor legs.

To spread the anchor legs, insert a thin long object, such as a ®nishing nail, into the wall anchor hole.

Repeat for all wall anchors inserted between studs.

Ensure that the wall anchors are ¯ush with the ®nished surface.

4. Wall Plate Installation

Orient the wall plate with the large slotted mounting hole down and the smaller hole over the higher anchor.

Secure the wall plate with the supplied panhead screws.

Repeat at each wall plate location.

5. Install the Bonnet

Start a setscrew into each post. Do not thread fully into the posts. Position the escutcheon(s), if included, onto the post(s).

Slide the post onto the wall plate.

Position the setscrew hole in the post so it faces downward.

Make sure the post tabs engage the indexing holes in the back of the post or escutcheon.

Insert a 1² (2.5cm) screw into the post and tighten.

NOTE: When installing ªStatelyº accessories, make sure that the post pins engage the escutcheon holes.

Loosen the setscrew in the post until the cylinder head slides out of the post.

Slide the shaft of the cylinder head into the post.

Position the detent in the cylinder head shaft facing downward.

Use a hex wrench to thread a setscrew into the skirt and tighten the setscrew until the cylinder head is securely in place.

If needed, insert the tissue spindle into the tissue holder assembly.

Tighten the setscrew using a hex wrench.

7. Install the Towel Bar

IMPORTANT! Do not overtighten the setscrews. Overtightening can damage the towel bar.

Use a hex wrench to thread a setscrew into each of the cylinder inserts and tighten. Both cylinder inserts should face in the same direction. The detent on both cylinder inserts should face straight down.

Insert the cylinder head inserts into the skirts.

Use a hex wrench to insert a setscrew into both of the skirts. Tighten the setscrews until the cylinder shafts are securely in place.

8. Install the Glass Shelf

Slide a bracket assembly onto each end of the shelf. Make sure both brackets are centered on the shelf and the setscrew holes are on the same side.

Using a hex wrench, insert four nylon tipped setscrews (provided) into the bracket assembly and tighten securely.

Install a cylinder head onto each stem of the bracket assembly as shown.

Thread a setscrew into each cylinder head and tighten with a hex wrench.

Measure the distance between the centers of the cylinder head shafts.
