I'm getting ready to install a Kohler drop in whirlpool tub (6' Miraposa) and had some questions.
1. Kohler calls for either using a 2" mortar base, construction adhesive, or silicone caulk around the rim. I'm thinking either the mortar base or construction adhesive is the way to go. What is easier for a novice to stall? If I go with construction adhesive is there a recommendation for the brand?
2. I have roughed in the plumbing to the p-trap. Based on the installation instruction for the tub drain (Kohler Clearflow), it calls for a tail piece between the drain T (where the overflow and the tub drain meet) and the p-trap. Since the open end of p-trap is a pvc piece that needs to be glued in (not threaded) what type of tail piece should I use?
3. Finally, any other tips for installing?
Sorry to ask all of the basic questions.
