RECESSED MOUNTING -- Determining the Rough Opening “RO” Dimension
Framing in new construction should follow these dimensions. Standard 2x4 studs and 1/2” sheetrock are shown in the illustrations.
For 6” deep models, a semi-recessed installation is required. For fully recessed 6” deep models, 2x6 studs are required.

Single Cabinet “RO” Rough Opening formula: Overall cabinet width less 5/8” = Rough Opening
Two Cabinets “RO” Rough Opening formula: Overall cabinet width less 5/8” plus the overall width of the second added cabinet = Rough Opening
Three Cabinet “RO” Rough Opening formula: Overall cabinet width less 5/8” plus the overall width of the two added cabinets = Rough Opening
Example: Model GC1630 combined with Model GC2430 = 15” less 5/8” = 14 3/8” plus 23” = 37 3/8” R.O. width.
Height: overall cabinet height less 5/8” = R.O. Height.
RECESSED MOUNTING -- Rough Opening:
Note: Cabinet installs over nished wall with sheetrock and/or tile nishes com-
pleted. 3/4” Flange on all sides of the cabinet will cover the remaining space in
the R.O.
SPECIAL NOTE: When installing this cabinet over the finished surface that includes tile, the
location of the wire access hole must be repositioned to allow for the thickness of the tile
.
Rough Wiring:
Rough wire for this unit should ex-
tend 20” from either the left or right
wire access on the side of the cabi-
net to make the connections within
the Electric Shelf.
