WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, AVOID ANY CONTACT WITH
PLUMBING, WIRING OR GAS LINES. THESE LINES ARE OFTEN
IN THE WALLS AND UNDER THE FLOOR.
End panels are used to finish off a run of cabinets or box out an
appliance. Make sure to install plumb and level.
5.1
If your application uses a finished end panel, first trim the
panel to fit and then attach the panel to the side of the
cabinet. This can be done with contact adhesive or
1
⁄2”
finishing nails. (Figure 14)
5.2
When installing a refrigerator or dishwasher return, it is
important to mount a cleat at the floor to secure this panel.
Simply cut a piece of 1 x 2 dimensional lumber about 20”
long so it is not exposed at the front of the panel. Then
secure to the floor with 2–3 fasteners (concrete screws for
concrete floors / wood screws for wood floors). Secure the
cleat to the panel (DWR, RR, SFR, etc.) with 2–3 wood
screws. (Figure 15)
