Before You Begin (cont.)
This vanity is designed to allow most base moldings to pass
behind the vanity. Remove any moldings that may inhibit the
vanity from being flush against the finished wall.
Remove the drawers from the vanity before beginning the vanity
installation. Doing so will ease the installation process. Refer to
the ″Service the Drawers″section contained in this guide for
proper removal.
Install the water supply and drain lines according to the
roughing-in information. The water supply nipples must extend
3” (7.6 cm) beyond the finished wall material.

products without notice, as specified in the Price Book.

installation.
Measure and mark 33″(83.8 cm) up from the floor. This will be
the height from the top of the 3/4″plywood to the floor.
Notch the studs so the front of the 3/4″plywood will be flush
with the edge of the studs.
NOTICE: The backing should be at least 30″(76.2 cm) long and be
aligned with the vanity.
Secure the 3/4″plywood to the studs with framing nails.
Install the water supply and drain lines according to the
roughing-in information provided with your lavatory. The water
supply nipples must extend at least 3″(7.6 cm) beyond the
finished wall material.
NOTE: Plumbing fittings will be exposed and visible once the vanity
installation is complete. Plated plumbing fittings are recommended.
Complete the finished wall. Ensure the finished wall is straight
and plumb, and the floor is flat and perpendicular to the finished
wall.
NOTICE: Before installing molding to the finished wall, check to
ensure that it will not interfere with the vanity.
