Install the Mounting Sleeve
1. Insert the Mounting Sleeve in the cavity in the top surface of
the corbel, ensuring that it is centered in the cavity.
2. Using your pencil, mark the corbel through the holes in the
Mounting Sleeve and remove the sleeve from the cavity.
3. Use the power drill and 1/16” drill bit to make two pilot
holes in the locations marked in step 2.
4. Insert the Mounting Sleeve back into the cavity, lining up the
holes in the sleeve with the new pilot holes.
5. Using the screwdriver or the power drill with a screwdriver
bit, fasten the Mounting Sleeve to the corbel with #5 x ½”
wood screws.
Install the Mounting base
1. Insert the Mounting base partway into the Mounting Sleeve.
Leave enough space between the back ange of the
Mounting base and the corbel so that you can t your hand
between them.
2. Position the corbel where it is desired, and with your hand
between the corbel and the mounting base, push it against
the mounting surface, making sure that the top of the corbel
is touching the bottom of the countertop.
3. While holding the mounting base in place, remove the
corbel. The top ange of the mounting base should be
about 1/16” below the countertop surface. When installed,
that space will allow the
mounting sleeve to slide
onto the
mounting base unhindered.
4. Being careful not to shift
the mounting base, mark
the holes.
5. Drill pilot holes.
6. Attach your rst mounting
base to the substructure
using the screwdriver or
power drill with screw-
driver bit and #8 x 2.5”
wood screws. Make sure
that when you fasten the
mounting base that you
check for level in all directions. The mounting base should
be level horizontally and vertically.
7. Cut 3M VHB Tape into 1” squares and place on the 4 cor-
ners of the corbel for stability.
8. Repeat with all remaining corbels.
