Tools and Materials

Before You Begin

CAUTION: Risk of product damage.

Do not lift the footbath by the pump or piping, or use the

pump or piping for structural support of the footbath.

IMPORTANT!

This guide covers the installation for the components included with the K-163 pedicure spa

(footbath, faucet and drain components, client chaise lounge, and technician chair). If using other
components, the installation may need to be adjusted to accommodate your specific installation
requirements.

IMPORTANT!

This installation requires the use of floor-grade tiles for the finished deck surface. Do not

use wall tiles for the deck surface.

IMPORTANT!

All dimensions provided for the construction of the framing assume 1/2” (1.3 cm)

rough-deck material and 1/4” (6.4 cm) thick tile for the finished deck. If using other materials, adjust the
height of the stud framing accordingly to meet the required finished height of the deck.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes, including backflow protection.

The footbath is designed for tile-in installations.

Prior to installation unpack the footbath and inspect it for damage. Return the footbath to its
protective carton until you are ready to install it.

The provided instructions describe use of all three Kohler products. If used separately, please refer
to the individual product instructions.

Due to the variety of installations possible with this product, you may need to use procedures other
than those described in this guide.

Proper selection of tile is critical. Once selected, provide a sample of the tile to each contractor.

Because of the variance in material thicknesses, communication between the carpenter, tile layer, and
plumber is essential when planning this installation.

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