Determine the centre-to-centre size per unit
In order to determine the cut sizes, first measure the centre to centre size of each unit. A drawing with dimensions is
shown below.
For a more detailed view, see the cut size diagram and the enclosed cut lists.
Note: Mounting plates extend beyond the width and projection sizes. This is 5 mm for the wall mounting plate and
45 mm for the mounting plate of the post.
Dissimilar units
Note: In case of a connected system with dissimilar units placed in front or alongside one another, the outer size
minus the values stated above are divided over the number of units.
For example: Freestanding model with 2 units connected in width:
Total width = 10000 mm
The total CTC size is then 10000 –110 mm = 9890 mm
If the first unit has a CTC size of 3000 mm, the second unit will be 6890 –3000 = 3890 mm.
Cut sizes
The cut sizes apply to all configurations, including a connected or wall-mounted system. It is based on the CTC size
of each unit. The applicable sizes are listed in the cut size diagram shown on the following page.
