BEFORE YOU BEGIN

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not modify the vanity. Doing
so will compromise structural stability.
CAUTION: Risk of injury or property damage. Select 250 lb (113.4kg)
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" (38mm) backing material + wallboard thickness +
back rail thickness.
NOTICE: Acrylic caulk must be used to secure a sink or countertop to the vanity. Do not use
100% silicone sealant which will damage the finish of the vanity.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. When moving the vanity, do not slide or side-load the
legs.
NOTICE: Any electrical accessory components must be connected to a circuit protected by a
Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residential Current Device (RCD). Follow all local
electrical codes.
□ Observe all local building codes.
□ The appearance of your vanity may differ from the illustrations in this guide. The instructions

1. PREPARATION

2x6
Bracing
34-1/2"
(876 mm)
CAUTION: Risk of injury or property damage. To properly support
the weight of the vanity and sink, secure to stud framing or 2x6
bracing behind the finished wall.
□ If installing 2x6 bracing, front-notch the studs 1-1/2" (38mm) to ensure the bracing sits
flush against the studs. The bracing should span the length of the vanity.
□ Plan for routing supply and drain piping for your desired sink installation.
□ Plan for electrical service if installing electrical devices. Any electrical accessory components
must be connected to a circuit protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or
Residual Current Device (RCD).
NOTICE: To ensure proper support and alignment: The finished wall must be straight and
plumb. The floor must be flat and perpendicular to the wall.
□ Complete the finished wall.
Plan the plumbing
area for the sink.
