Kohler K-9027 Cast Iron Shower Base 48x36 Single Threshold

Product Description

The KOHLER K-9027 is a one-piece, single-threshold rectangular cast iron shower base finished in enameled black. Part of the Purist Collection, it measures 48 inches by 36 inches with a height of 4-5/8 inches and weighs 175 pounds. The base features a center drain location with a 3-3/8 inch drain connection and a rough-in of 24 inches by 17 inches. The enameled cast iron construction provides long-term durability and heat retention. A Safeguard slip-resistant floor texture is integrated into the base for traction underfoot. Licensed plumbers and tile contractors install this unit in residential and light commercial shower enclosure applications.

The K-9027 is designed for tile-in or drop-in installation methods, giving installers flexibility depending on the surrounding enclosure finish. The single-threshold profile keeps entry low and accommodates standard shower door framing. The center drain placement works with standard floor drain rough-ins. This base is suited for residential shower remodels and new construction where a durable, code-compliant cast iron receptor is specified. The recommended drain accessory is the K-9132. Optional accessories include the K-9027 Teak Shower Grate, K-1679-Pc Steam Generator, and K-1647-Pc Steam Generator Control Kit for expanded functionality.
