IMPORTANT:
 The Fleet vanity must be screwed into a Solid xing such as studs or nogs.
Failure to do this may cause the drawers not to operate correctly or in the
worst case scenario become detached from the wall.
 Walls must be at and true. Walls that are twisted or bowed will aect the
operaon of the drawers.
NOTE: The Fleet vanity is designed specically for basins that sit onto the bench
top surface. Under-mount or recessed basins cannot be installed.
1. Determine the mounng height of the Fleet Frame. Remember to take
into account the thickness of the bench top and the basin.
3. Determine and set up the plumbing. If you are installing the Fleet
Drawer unit directly under the basin, a 32mm Spacemate Waste
must be used. Cut an appropriate sized hole in the rear wall for
the waste pipe.
5. Level the Fleet Frame. Screw the unit to the wall using counter
sunk screws (minimum No.10 x 40mm).
4. From inside pre-drill mounng holes into the rear panel
of the Fleet Frame. Place a screw hole 30mm in from each
end and approximately 30mm down. Where possible
place a screw every 250-300 mm.

Installing the Fleet Drawer
2. Place the Drawer body into its desired posion within the
Fleet Frame. Ensure that the sides of the Drawer frame do
not interfere with any plumbing.
3. Screw the Drawer body in place using
No.8x25mm (or longer) countersunk screws,
placing the screws in the predrilled holes. Further
screws may be added in the other pre-drilled
holes.
4. Using No.8x25mm Counter sunk screws x the Drawer
body into place at the indicated points.

5. If applicable, t the oponal drawer handle oered by
Athena. The drawer panel is pre-drilled inside with 3
small holes to suit the handle. Only use a hand screw-
driver to secure the handle to the drawer, do not use a
cordless driver as this may strip out the hole.
An alternave design Drawer handle or pull can be
secured to the top edge or Drawer front.
Remove the Drawer from the Drawer Body
1. Open the drawer fully. On the underside of the drawer
locate the tabs on each side, press the tabs while liing
the drawer and pulling towards the front at the same me.
This will release the drawer from it’s runners.
Please refer to the end of these instrucons for further
informaon on the drawers.

6. Return the Drawer box into the Drawer body. Ensure that
the rear clips of the runners are engaged into the rear of
the drawer box.
Please refer to the last page of the instrucons for detailed
Drawer runner installaon & adjustment.
Fing the Bench Top & Basin
1. Place and posion the bench top onto the Fleet Frame’s
top surface.
2. Place the basin on the bench top and mark the waste
posion.
3. Mark the posion of the tapware if it is to be mounted
on the bench top. Please check to ensure there is
enough space behind the basin being installed. Larger
basins may require tapware to be mounted slightly to
the side. Note: there is a 45mm cavity behind the
drawer to accommodate exible hoses.
4. Through the centre of the basin waste and tap hole, drill a
pilot hole into the bench top and top of the Fleet Frame.
5. Remove the Benchtop and place on a rm at surface.
Using a hole saw cut the appropriate size holes for the
waste ng and the tap. A jigsaw with a high speed steel
blade can be used to cut the waste hole. If using a jigsaw,
mask the immediate area to protect the surface. Do not
cut square corners, corners must have a minimum 10mm
radius. If required, any cut edges can be smoothed using a
medium grit sandpaper.
6. Drill or cut the top surface of the Fleet Frame to accommo-
date the waste ng & tap. When cung the hole for the
waste and tap, it is recommended that the hole be larger
than that cut into the bench top e.g. if the bench top tap
hole is 35mm cut a 50mm hole in the Fleet Frame.
We suggest laying a towel inside the drawer to protect the
drawer runners being covered in debris. If any debris does
make its way onto the runners, use a vacuum cleaner to
remove.

Fing the Benchtop & Basin
10. The basin can now be installed. Apply a pea sized amount
of Silicone sealant under the basin to hold it in place. Be
careful not to disrupt the posion of the bench top.
9. To prevent any accidental water ingress
apply a small bead of sealant around the
underside of the benchtop and to the wall.
It is recommended to mask the area to
achieve opmum results.
11. Allow 24 hours for the sealant to cure.
12. Installaon of tapware and plumbing can now proceed.
