FITTING BASE UNITS AND TALL BASE UNITS
NOTE: SHOULD THE FLOOR BE UNLEVEL AND YOU WISH TO LOWER THE
PLINTH HEIGHT FROM 175mm YOU WILL NEED TO CUT THE LEGS TO THE
REQUIRED HEIGHT (REMOVING UNWANTED MATERIAL FROM THE TOP) BEFORE
FITTING THEM TO THE BASE OF THE UNIT
Attach the plastic legs by pushing them into the sockets on the underside of the unit. It is
advised to give the base of the leg a slight tap with a hammer to ensure a good connection
in the socket (see fig 1).
Adjust the leg to approximately the correct height of 175mm (see fig 2). Having ensured
all relevant pipework is completed, position the unit on its legs against the wall. Adjust the
legs if necessary to ensure the unit sits level in both directions by using a spirit level on all
sides (see fig 3).
Maintain the plinth height of 175mm as near to the optimum as possible.
Once the unit has been positioned level, remove the back (if applicable) and fix the unit
to the wall via the back rail or stretcher plates (see fig 4). If you are attaching this unit to a
plasterboard wall please ensure that you use the correct fixings.
Once all units are in place they can be joined together by means of drilling and screwing
through adjacent side panels. We suggest making fixing less obvious by drilling behind
hinges or loose shelves (see fig 5). Once all the units are securely fixed, ensure that all
the back panels that were removed earlier are slid back into position before proceeding
further.
Please note that many back panels are double-sided and have a different finish on either side.
Always check that you slide the panel in with the correct finish facing forwards before the
worktops are fitted (see fig 5).
Please Note
When fitting a base unit for a Short Projection Solid Surface basin, the back rail has a gap to
allow the inset basin to fit nearer the wall. Fix this unit to the wall through the side cheeks
of the back rail, A & B. This will also assist in supporting the worktop (see fig 6).
BASE UNITS AND DRAWER PACKS
This unit should be fitted the same way as a normal base unit. Please note drawer packs
do not have 8mm slide-in backs, this allows easy access to the top rail for fitting purposes.
If your unit is to be wall hung, please refer to the section 'fitting a wall hung base unit'
on page 4.
