Installation Guide

5. Install the Valve
NOTICE: Do not apply excessive heat near the valve or apply flux or acids directly onto the valve. This
valve contains plastic and rubber components which will melt if heat is directly applied.
IMPORTANT! If your water supply has high amounts of particulates, install wye strainers in the supply
lines.
Route the water supply lines. Use unions to install removable pipe segments to the valve inlets to
allow access for periodic cleaning of the inlet screens.
Install shut-off valves and water hammer arrestors in the supply lines prior to the valve.
Hold the valve up to the installation location. Verify fit and mark the hole locations.
Pre-drill the holes.
Secure the valve with the washers and screws. Do not overtighten.
IMPORTANT! Make sure each shower fitting is connected to the appropriate valve outlet for your shower
configuration. For shower configuration options, refer to the guide on the K-99695 controller product page
at www.us.kohler.com.
Route the piping from the valve outlets to the appropriate shower fitting.
Connect the hot and cold supply lines to the appropriate valve inlets. Hot is red and marked with
″HOT,″ cold is blue and marked with ″COLD.″
Secure all piping to the framing.
