Tools and Materials
Before You Begin
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 property damage. Use care when moving
the cabinet to avoid impacting, sliding, or side-loading the legs.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Do not modify the vanity.
Doing so will compromise structural stability.
NOTICE: Siliconized acrylic caulk must be used to secure the
bathroom sink to the vanity. Do not use 100% silicone sealant which
will damage the finish of the vanity.
NOTICE: To avoid the risk of product damage, the finished wall
must be straight and plumb. If the finished wall is not straight and
plumb, the vanity will not be properly supported and will cause
misalignment of the sink and door.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Provide 2x6 backing material behind the finished wall to properly
support the vanity.

1. Prepare the Site
NOTICE: If the K-20199 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.
NOTICE: To avoid the risk of product damage, the finished wall
must be straight and plumb. If the finished wall is not straight and
plumb, the vanity will not be properly supported and will cause
misalignment of the sink and door.

2. Install the Legs
NOTE: To protect the finished surface of the vanity, perform
assembly tasks on a flat, padded work surface.

3. Secure the Vanity
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. 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 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.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. The vanity is heavy and
cumbersome to move. Obtain sufficient help to lift or move the
vanity to avoid impacting, sliding, or side-loading the legs.
Position and Level
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.
Secure
Secure the vanity to the wall with two 5/16″lag bolts and
washers (not provided).

4. Install the Bathroom Sink
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Vitreous china sinks are
very heavy. Get help lifting and aligning the sink.
Install the faucet and drain to the sink. Refer to the faucet and
drain manufacturer’s installation instructions.
NOTICE: Siliconized acrylic caulk must be used to secure the sink
to the vanity. Do not use 100% silicone sealant, which will damage
the vanity finish.
Apply a 1/4″(6 mm) continuous bead of siliconized acrylic caulk
around the top of the vanity, as illustrated.
NOTE: The sink is properly positioned when the back edge of the
sink is flush against the finished wall, and the overhang on the left,
right, and front of the sink is the same.
With assistance, lift and properly position the sink on top of the
vanity.
Immediately wipe away any excess caulk that contacts the vanity.
Apply a 1/8″(3 mm) bead of siliconized acrylic caulk along the
top edge of the sink where the sink contacts the finished wall.
