      Q:How do we turn on the spout for the tub only or turn it on for shower only?
      by|Jul 4, 2023
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Hello Anniewboys, my name is Kassi with Kohler Co. I'd be glad to answer your question. There is a diverter on the tub spout for the Katun that will switch from the tub spout to the showerhead. When turned on, the water will come out of the tub spout first, pull up on the diverter and it will switch to the showerhead. Thank you for choosing Kohler.

        Q:I installed this piece and the water never got hot. It would warm up, but never get hot. After troubleshooting the problem it appears the hot water inlet on the pressure balancing valve, part number 1207976, is partially obstructed.

          Leaky faucet
          I could copy paste every review into this one. Just adding to the list I guess. Leaks against the wall, the clamp to hold the faucet to the pipe is horribly designed. Wasted X amount of hours working on this. This was the most expensive set at the store and it leaks worse than anything I’ve ever seen.

            Who pays to fix the ceiling?
            Wish I saw all these reviews before I purchased the product because they v installed and reinstalled the tub faucet exactly how it’s supposed to be installed and it continues to leak. So know what do I do the bathroom is finished and I can’t pull everything out to return.... and now because of the leak in the upstairs I now have to take care of the ceiling in my kitchen... thanks Kohler for the added work of a kitchen ceiling after my bathroom. Very disappointed in the money spend and the outcome of your poor design in product

              This shower faucet is absolute garbage! I had a plumber install while I was renovating our home, it leaked from the interior components, this wasn't a fault of the plumber. Kohler sent a new one. I had to repair drywall that was damaged. The nice large handle, it barely moves from the 6 O' clock position to the 11 O' clock position. You can actually see this in the photographs provided by Kohler. Using the faucet, my daughters were complaining the water was never hot, even though our hot water heater is set to 132 degrees. So I tested the water temp at all faucets in our home using a reliable digital thermometer. 5 faucets in our home disperse hot water at 122-123degrees. This Kohler faucet disperses water at 112degrees. A LOSS of 20 degrees!! The water coming out of the shower nozzle barely feels warm. I am very unhappy with this faucet and wish it was easier to swap out. Buyer Beware!!! Photos below illustrate the limited movement of the large handle. That is all the movement there is.

              Hi ToddM, this is Sarah with Kohler Co. I'm very sorry to hear your Katun shower faucet is not reaching an ideal hot water temperature. I'm happy to share, this can be set by the installer or user. Here is a video link showing how this can be done: https://youtu.be/gcDenZCkh2Q. Once the water is at the ideal temperature, the valve can be reassembled. It is not designed to be set above 120 degrees. Please email us at KohlerCustServ@kohler.com for additional assistance. We're here to help. -Sarah S. Kohler Customer Service

                Not your usual shower install package!
                Quality of parts (most of it is metal) but the shower head and coverings are plastic. READ the instructions before tearing out the old and trying to replace, there are filament and connections on this package not like a straight up replacement package. The spout connection if not setup correctly with length of pipe, internal clamp will make the install leak as this is not a screw on style connection! Be careful as my internal clamp portion was out of the spout when I opened the package (bad quality control) and had to fight the urge to throw the whole thing out and buy another after getting it back in the correct way. Beyond all of this if you have patience and tools and some prior DIY you can install this. I think it looks nice after install but before we were finished with the shower walls, etc I test fit and tried before the final install, no matter how big or small the job.

                  Flashy modern look, only downside, the shower head is plastic, as well as the square around the water temperature nozzle. water comes out at full stream and the temperature is easy to adjust. dried water marks show easy, but I'm sure any brush Nickle faucets do the same. $200 well spent.

                    Same complaints as all other reviews
                    Installed correctly and still have leaks behind shower head, and tub spout!!!! Like everyone else, too late. Bathroom done already. Good name brand (i thought), very dissapointed. And one of most expensive homd depot faucets!!!

                      DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!
                      I purchased this item as a part of a full bathroom remodel. Unfortunately the tub spout continues to leak. I’ve contacted Kohler and they sent me a replacement which also leaks. This is frustrating seeing that bathroom tile was already placed leaving me scrabbling to resolve the spout issue. The Katun model is not threaded and uses what’s called a “slip fit” which is completely useless. BUYER BEWARE!,,

                      Fredyjr, my name is Jessica with Kohler Customer Service. I am sorry to hear of the leaking you are experiencing with your Katun spout. We take pride in our designs and are disappointed that your experience has been less than exceptional. This faucet comes with a spout that requires a slip fit installation with the tube being 4-3/4"-5" from the wall. We would like to speak with you further and assist with a resolution. Please contact our Customer Service team at KohlerCustServ@kohler.com. We hope to hear from you soon. - Jessica P. Kohler Customer Service.

                        Nice product but can be troublesome to set up
                        My contractor installed and set up the entire plumbing and including Kohler Katun set. My wife showed me many of the negative reviews and at first was afraid I bought the wrong faucet set. I’m just grateful to say my set was troublesome but manageable to complete. We are totally happy and thankful things worked out well. No leaks or plumbing issues. I recommend this product.
