Tools and Materials

Before You Begin

NOTICE: Do not install the valve under a whirlpool surround or any location where the temperature may

exceed 104°F (40°C). The valve and its integrated power supply is rated to operate in temperatures up to

104°F (40°C).

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.

NOTICE: Do not apply petroleum-based lubricants to the valve components. Doing so will damage the

valve components.

NOTICE: Do not use oil-based, non-setting compounds, such as plumbers putty, on the threaded

connections.

Before You Begin (cont.)

NOTICE: Do not remove the check valves from the inlets as this can damage the product.

NOTICE: If the valve will be used for a bath/shower application, the bath ﬁll supply line must be routed

from the #1 outlet port.

Read these instructions and determine the locations of all required components before beginning

installation. For shower conﬁguration options, refer to the guide on the K-99695 controller product

page at www.us.kohler.com.

If possible, ﬂush all piping thoroughly before installing the valve. If the pipes are ﬂushed after the

valve is installed, clean the inlet screens before using the system.

A qualiﬁed electrician should install a 120 V electrical outlet, within the stud framing, in close

proximity to the valve. A GFCI outlet may be required in certain applications.

If possible, install the electrical outlet prior to installing the valve.

Multiple Valve Applications

Showering conﬁgurations using large water volumes require supply piping and drain systems that

will sufficiently accommodate the actual total ﬂow rate at any one time.

Hot water generation: Use a water heating system capable of handling large ﬂow rates. Tankless

(on-demand) water heaters and recirculating pumps may not be adequate for your showering

conﬁguration.

1. DTV+ System Layout

The K-99695 system controller powers the interface(s) and controls the digital valve(s) and other system

components. The controller is required to conﬁgure the valve(s).

NOTICE: If the valve will be used for a bath/shower application, the bath ﬁll supply line must be routed

from the #1 outlet port.

NOTICE: Custom shower conﬁgurations may not allow certain features to be enabled. For shower

conﬁguration options, refer to the guide on the K-99695 controller product page at www.us.kohler.com.

Determine the locations of all required components, including shower ﬁttings.

A data cable is provided to connect the valve to the controller. If the valve is not within 25’ (7.6 m)

of the controller, obtain a longer telephone-style cable or add an extension cable.
