Installation
Please ensure the wall is suitable for wall hung furniture. For stud wall
installations, add an extra timber support into the stud wall prior to finishing
the wall to improve strength.
1. HiB recommends removing the drawers prior to installation.
See Fig. 5., overleaf
.
2. Plan the unit position on the wall. HiB recommend the installation heights shown
in
Fig. 1
. Take note of the height of the optional leg kit if it is being installed.
3. If the optional leg kit is to be installed, turn the unit upside down on a soft
surface. Establish the leg position. Pilot drill and screw the legs into place with the
supplied screws.
4. Measure the spacing on the back of the unit, between the two inner sides of
the carcass
(Fig. 2, A)
this is the maximum bracket spacing. Measure the required
mounting point height taking into account the basin to be used and if leg kit is
being installed.
5. Transfer measurements onto wall using a spirit level to ensure they are straight
and level and spaced correctly
as per Fig. 2.
6. Drill holes for wall brackets and fix into position with suitable fixings.
7. Position the unit(s) onto the wall brackets.
8. Use furniture hangers to adjust alignment of furniture unit(s)
(Fig. 7, screw B,
overleaf)
, ensuring that they are level.
9. If installing multiple units side by side, once they are both in the correct position,
clamp them together using speed clamps and fix together using the fixings
provided,
as per Fig. 3.
10. Once the unit(s) are in position, adjust the screw on the furniture hanger
(Fig. 7,
Screw A, overleaf)
to bring the furniture tightly against the wall.
11. Silicone along the top edge of the unit and fit basin/countertop on top. Silicone
along back edge of basin/countertop and along the back of the unit and wall as
per Fig. 4. Allow to set fully.
12. Fix basin and tap in place and finalise water and waste connections.
13. Refit the drawers and secure handle in place, using the predrilled holes in the
drawer fronts.
