Back Rail
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or property damage. Select 500 lb (227
kg) load-bearing 5/16" lag bolts with a length to clear obstacles in the wall and
5/16" washers. Calculate the proper lag bolt length by adding the following:
1-1/2" (38 mm) backing material, plus the wallboard thickness, plus the back
rail thickness.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Drill pilot holes in the ends of the back
rail to provide maximum support and to prevent flexing of the unit.
Wall-hung vanity only: Using 2x4 lumber, create a temporary support that is
14-3/4" (375 mm) in height and spans the width of the vanity.
With assistance, lift and place the vanity in position against the finished wall.
Verify that the vanity is level and plumb against the wall.
Wall-hung vanity only: Place shims under the temporary support to adjust the
unit as needed.
Vanity with legs only: Turn the leveler(s) to adjust the unit as needed.
Using a 1/4" drill bit, drill a pilot hole at each end of the back rail and into the
finished wall. The holes should align with the 2x6 bracing or stud framing.
Drill a pilot hole at each stud location between the two end holes.
Secure the vanity to the wall with 5/16" lag bolts and washers (not provided). The
lag bolts should engage the 2x6 bracing and/or all studs behind the rail.
