K-1446 Remote Blower Kit Installation

Overview

  • KOHLER BubbleMassage™ air baths come equipped with a coiled section of 1" flexible PVC piping between the bath and the blower motor.

  • The coiled piping must remain intact to prevent back flow of water into the blower assembly.

  • When relocating the blower, it is important to avoid cutting, removing, or uncoiling any part of the coiled piping.


Disconnecting the Blower from the Bath

IMPORTANT: Do not cut, remove, or uncoil any part of the coiled piping.

  • Cut the middle of the 1-1/2" PVC pipe located between the tee and the union nut.

  • Disconnect and remove the cable between the blower and the user interface.

  • Cut the straps holding the blower motor to the support board on the bath.


Reconnecting the Blower at the Remote Location


Note: Locate the blower motor within 15' (4.6 m) of the bath, with no more than six direction changes in the piping.

Note: The blower motor must be oriented horizontally, and installed to a support block no lower than the original mounted height relative to the bath.

  • At the new location, mount the blower on a minimum 1-1/2" (38 mm) tall support block.

  • Route 1-1/2" PVC or equivalent rigid piping between the bath and the blower motor, connecting at each previously cut end with the provided 1-1/2" couplings.

  • Support the piping at intervals along the length in accordance with local codes.

  • Use the provided longer cable to connect the blower to the user interface. The cable connector at the blower should be oriented with the flat part facing up.

  • Use the provided retaining clip to prevent accidental cable disconnection.

  • Use cable ties or other clips to support the cable.
