Fixing Instructions for Wall Mounted Vanity Units Cabinets &

Because of their additional weight, when installing Vanity Units, additional fixings, (2 or 3, depending on the width of the unit), must be secured to the wall through the Unit Bottom Rail.

In all cases, an included Angled Wall Rail is secured to the wall and a matching Unit Top Rail on the back of the unit hooks over and slides down to support the Vanity Unit or Cabinet. See Figure 1.

&NOTE These instructions assume that a solid masonry wall. However, if it is to be fixed to a studded timber wall, it is important that additional battens and that adequate fixings are used so as to ensure a sound and safe installation.

Secure the Angled Wall Rail to the wall with adequate fixings. Screws are shown, but other types of fixing device can be used providing they are suitable for the purpose, particularly where a Vanity unit is being fitted.

Fitting a Cabinet

It is assumed that in most cases the hot and cold service pipes as well as the Basin Waste will be entering the Vanity Unit from behind. If that is so, it will be necessary to transfer details of the entry points onto the back surface of the Vanity Unit, making suitable allowances for adjustment. As the Unit would normally have to be moved at least 30mm upwards so that it can be to lifted clear of the Angled Wall Rail, the bottom edge of any openings made in the back wall of the Unit will need to be made 30mm LOWER. With this in mind, cut out the required access points. See Figure 4.

Mark the wall through the holes in the Unit Bottom Rail and lift off the Unit so that the lower wall fixing holes can be drilled for suitable fixings.

Figure 4. Making allowances for service water and waste pipe connections

Carefully lower the Vanity Unit onto the fixed Angled Wall Rail until the Unit Top Rail engages and supports the unit and then fully secure the unit by applying wall fixings though the Unit Bottom Rail holes. See Figure 5.

Drill 3 suitable fixing holes through the Vanity Unit Bottom Rail, and carefully lower it onto the fixed Angled Wall Rail until the Unit Top Rail engages and supports the unit.

Once the unit is fully secure, plumbing and waste connections can be made in the normal manner. Instructions for securing the Basin will be found with the Basin.
