1. Prepare the Site
NOTICE: If the K-2607 bridge cabinet will also be installed, extend
the backing material a minimum of 12″(305 mm) beyond the width
of the vanity on the side where the bridge will be installed.
NOTICE: To properly secure the vanity, the top of the required 2x6
backing material must be 32-1/2″(826 mm) from the finished floor.
Measure and mark 32-1/2″(826 mm) up from the finished floor.
This will be the height from the finished floor to the top of the
2x6 backing material.
Ensure there are no obstructions in the wall (such as wiring or
plumbing) from the marked height down to the floor. If there are
obstructions, select another area to install the vanity.
NOTICE: Extend the backing material beyond the width of the
vanity to the nearest stud to ensure proper support for the vanity.
Front-notch the studs 1-1/2″(38 mm) to ensure the 2x6 backing
material is flush against the studs.
Secure the 2x6 backing material to the studs with framing nails.
Rough-in the water supply and drain lines into the rough-in
plumbing area of the vanity.
NOTICE: The finished wall must be straight and plumb to ensure
proper support of the vanity and alignment of the sink and door.

2. Secure the Vanity
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Select 250 lb (113.4
kg) load bearing 5/16″lag bolts with a length to clear
obstacles in the wall and 5/16″washers. Calculate proper lag
bolt length by adding the following: 1-1/2″(38 mm) backing
material + wallboard thickness + back rail thickness.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Use care when moving the
vanity to avoid impacting, sliding, or side-loading the legs.
With assistance, lift and place the vanity in position against the
finished wall. Do not drag the vanity into position.
Verify the vanity is level and the back rail is plumb against the
wall. If necessary, turn the leveler(s) to adjust the unit.
Using a 1/4″drill bit, drill pilot holes through the back rail and
the finished wall. Verify the pilot holes are positioned to ensure
the lag bolts will engage the 2x6 backing material.

washers (not provided).
