Im installing a Kohler shower valve today and I’m not sure the depth to set it at. It has the plastic ring around the front of it. A friend of mine (a plumber) said to have the face of the plastic ring flush with the finished wall. The diagram that came with the valve looks like the finished wall is coming over the front of the plastic ring, but it’s not completely clear. Does anyone have a definitive answer?
Thanks-
Steve

When in doubt - call the manufacturer!
The last one that my plumber and I installed had directions that confused me a little bit too. My plumber insisted that the face of the plastic guard should be flush with the finished surface and just ignored the instructions. He was right.
