Parallel Installation and Clearance
NOTE:
The information provided below can only be used as a general guideline. Designers must consult their
countertop suppliers when designing the appropriate support structure and clearance for the countertop and the
installation.
Countertop Material and Spacing Requirement
For structural strength and protection against water penetration,
we recommend the followings:
For stone countertop, keep a minimum gap of 4” [101.6mm]
between cut-outs and provide reinforcement beam in-
between units.
For other countertop materials, the glass-tops can be put
side by side, and the joints between glass-tops must be
sealed with silicone to ensure the installation is water-tight.
o
A 4mm gap between glass-tops for silicone is recommended (Option 1). However, if no gap is
desired for the installation, silicone sealant should be applied underneath the joint (Option 2).
Ensure all NSF 4 requirements for food safety are met. (HO IN 3200 Heat Plates shown as an
example.)
Heat Plates Configuration and Spacing Requirement
The Heat Retaining Plates can be installed in a variety of arrangements. Some examples are:
(
A
), (
B
), (
C
), and (
D
): The plates are placed in a row or in a square, with gaps or without gaps.
(
E
) and (
F
): When installing two or more HO-IN units (each with one or more Heat Retaining Plates), a
minimum gap of 75.0mm/ 2.95” between the edges of glass is required in between the groups of
Heating Plates. (HO IN 3200 Heat Plates shown as an example.)
