Kohler 116347-2 manual Install the Suction Bracket

INSTALL THE SUCTION BRACKET

Position the suction bracket assembly in the desired installation location. Consider locating the suction assembly on a piece of ￿x￿ if needed to provide better clearance with the finished basin material. The

center of the suction cover must be located between ￿6￿/￿ and 36￿/￿6inches up from the estimated finished floor surface. Do not secure the suction bracket assembly in place at this time.

NOTE: Water drainage of the entire Custom

BodySpa system occurs through the suction assembly. Do not use flexible tubing for the suction line. Use straight sections of rigid PVC tubing and at most one additional elbow or fitting if needed. Always maintain a minimum ￿/46inch per foot pitch toward the suction assembly when measuring and

connecting the piping. Do not use elbows to change the vertical direction of the tubing.

Measure and cut a length of ￿6￿/￿6inch (I.D.) rigid PVC tubing to connect the suction housing to the pump inlet. Do not solvent weld the PVC connections at this time. Use a level and measuring tape to ensure a minimum ￿/46inch per foot pitch toward the

suction fitting to provide adequate drainage.

NOTE: Refer to the minimum waterline height information on the side of the pump box to determine the maximum pump box height.

If the suction line does not provide the necessary

￿/46inch per foot pitch, shim under the pump box to raise the pump box slightly to achieve the correct pitch. Then remove the four drywall screws from the mounting frame, and raise the mounting frame the same distance you raised the pump box. Re6install the four drywall screws, and tighten securely.

NOTE: If you raise the pump box and tower height, you must also plan to increase the footbath basin minimum water level accordingly. This will increase the threshold height and minimum 96inch water depth. Failure to do so will prevent the pump from priming.

Install the remaining six drywall screws to the mounting frame, and tighten securely.
