Installation Guide

5. Secure the Vanity
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Select 500 lb (227 kg)
load bearing 5/16″ lag bolts with a length to clear obstacles
in the wall and 5/16″ washers. Calculate proper lag bolt
length by adding the following: 1-1/2″ (38 mm) backing
material + wallboard thickness + back rail thickness.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Drill the lag bolt pilot holes
in the ends of the back rail to provide maximum support and to
prevent flexing of the unit.
Wall-hung vanity only: Using 2x4 lumber, create a temporary
support that is 14-3/4″ (375 mm) in height and spans the width
of the vanity.
With assistance, lift and place the vanity in position against the
finished wall.
Verify the vanity is level and plumb against the wall.
Wall-hung vanity only: Place shims under the temporary support
to adjust the unit as needed.
Vanity with legs only: Turn the leveler(s) to adjust the unit as
needed.
Using a 1/4″ drill bit, drill a pilot hole at each end of the back
rail and into the finished wall. The holes should align with the
2x6 bracing or stud framing.
Drill a pilot hole at each stud location between the two end holes.
