CHECK LEVELS
Wall hung furniture and VC basins that require wall fixing
Support nogs are to be fitted between the studs, as
detailed, to give a solid wall backing to attach the vanity.
Fix the top nog at 900mm above the floor and ensure
the total width exceeds the vanity width.

PLANNING : SITE PREPARATION AND PLUMBING
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ
PRIOR
TO INSTALLATION
FRAMING
When deciding on the position of the furniture, be sure to
arrange the product at least 150mm from any wet areas
such as baths, spas and showers. Ensure that the floor
is level (floor mounted) and that the wall is straight and
plumb.
NOTE
:
Do not expose furniture to shower spray - A good
quality shower screen must be fitted to the bath or shower
to keep the furniture dry and to prevent water damage.
POSITIONING
Walls
When installing a vanity (furniture) to a wall, it is
essential
that the wall is plumb and straight. If it is not possible to
make the wall plumb and straight you must pack the
vanity out so that it does not follow the out of aligned wall.
WARNING :
Fixing the vanity on a wall that is not plumb
and straight will result in the following :
- Cabinet will sag as illustrated.
- Cabinet will twist out of alignment and not be plumb.
- Drawers will not function as designed. i.e. They will
appear racked, will not run correctly or smoothly and if
self-closing, will not close on their own.
- Doors will not align or be able to be adjusted to align.
- Vanity/basin will appear to have an accentuated twist.
Floor
As with wall hung vanities, floor standing vanities must sit
on a level floor or be packed so they sit level and true.
WARNING :
Fixing a vanity to a floor that is not level will
result in the same adverse symptoms that appear with
Drawers/Doors and Vanity.
