Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Retrofit option, Thank you Kohler! Just moved into a home and the shower head was a little on the lower side for my preference. I searched for showerhead extenders and came across this. It is a little pricey but I decided to splurge for my master bath. I have the brushed nickel version and so far it doesn't show water marks like the brand new moen valve trim kit I bought for the old valve. I added the kohler 10" rain shower head and the 3 spray 4.3" Awaken handheld shower. Also bought the 60" hose. So pleased with final results. A plumber installed it so I can't say if it was easy or not.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Expensive but designed for failure In 2019, we did a major remodel of our master bathroom that afforded us a very large two person shower with dual rain showers. The contractor opted for the Kohler Hydro Rail shower column. About two months ago the valve that directs water to the rain shower or to the hand wand began to fail, meaning water started coming from both. A local plumber said the design prevented access/replacement of this valve and we would have to order an entirely new one. Took a bit to find it but we did and wow, it was expensive. I should have replaced both with something else that was just as good but cheaper and allowed for this valve to be serviced. Terrible design/engineering.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product . . . even better service. I have been looking to upgrade our shower for quite some time, but like several folks, I am a novice DIYer. This product allowed me to do the install myself without modification to the existing tile work in our shower. Basically drill four holes into the tile and I was all set. The other point I want to make is that this product did NOT come with the shower hose as stated in the product description. Home Depot stood by their product description and provided a gift card of the price difference. Good job Home Depot!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Beware of the O-Rings We purchased this system 9 years ago when we built our custom home. It worked fine until this year at which time the upper connection of the HydroRail began to leak behind our wall. The culprit was failure of the two o-rings that are on the nipple that comes out of the wall and connects to the HydroRail (see photo). There is no way to know how long the leak had been occurring, but by the time we discovered it we had a steady stream of water coming out of the fitting behind the shower wall. We are now into an extensive restoration project as a result. As I understand it, all HydroRail systems from Kohler use this o-ring setup. So, unless you want to disassemble your shower fixture periodically to check and/or replace your o-ring, you might want to go a different route.

Can this be used for a tub/shower installation? What is the difference between K45209 and K45211? Why is 45211 stated for shower only installation and 45209 for shower/tub installation?
Asked by: TN
The answer is no, unless you want to stand up to operate the water when you are taking a bath because the valve can't be placed more than 33" from the shower arm and the recommended placement for the shower arm is 80" from shower floor. So that would put your water handle at 47" or almost 4 ft up the wall.

Can you have both showerhead and hand shower on at the same time? Or is it one or the other?

Can you have both showerhead and hand shower on at the same time? Or is it one or the other?
Asked by: CuriousNC
Hello CuriousNC, my name is Kassi with Kohler Co. I'd be happy to answer your question. The K-45211 Hydrorail handshower or showerhead functions would run individually. Thank you for choosing Kohler.
