HOW TO USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Please read these instructions carefully to familiarize
yourself with the required tools, materials, and installation
sequences. Follow the sections that pertain to your
particular installation. This will help you avoid costly
mistakes. In addition to proper installation, read all
operating and safety instructions.

All information in these instructions is based on the latest
product information available at the time of publication.
Kohler Co. reserves the right to make changes in product
characteristics, packaging, or availability at any time
without notice.

NOTES

This instruction provides installation information
for two faucet models. Be sure to follow only the
steps that apply to your installation.

The K-1097 uses two valves, one for the bath fill,
and another for the shower. Pay special attention
to this feature when planning your site
preparation.

Avoid excessive heat if you solder connections,
to prevent damage to the fitting.

Flush all piping thoroughly before installing the
valve.

Observe all local plumbing codes.

Do not force the handle(s) in any direction. To
turn the valve off, gently turn to the “Off” position.

For the K-1097, do not use any plastic pipe
between the Rite-Temp

 valve and spout.

Do not connect a deck-mount spout, diverter, or
hand shower to the spout outlet, unless you cap
the shower outlet on valve.

Install pipe or tube in a straight drop of 7” to 18”
with only one elbow between the valve and the
wall-mounted spout. Other types of installations
may cause unsatisfactory shower performance.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Remove
the aspirator, plaster guards, and valve units before
you apply heat to the yoke.
