Installation

Determining the Rough Opening “R.O.” Dimension
Framing in new construction should follow these dimension.
Standard 2x4 studs and 1/2” sheetrock are shown in the illustrations.
For 6” deep models a semi-recessed application is necessary.

C. Level
D. #2 Phillips Head Screw Driver

Single Cabinet width “R.O.” Rough Opening formula:
Overall cabinet width less 5/8” = Rough Opening
Example: Model R-VTS-16 = 15” overall width less 5/8” = 14 3/8” R.O. width.
Example:
Two (2) 30” height cabinets = 60” + 3/16” = 60 3/16” R.O. Height
Rough Opening Height: overall cabinet height + 3/16” = R.O. Height.
Important: Make sure you allow for a
minimum of 1” clearance above or below any
obstructions to the door swing such as:
at the top -- light xtures; and
at the bottom baseboard trim, cabinets &
heating elements.
Rough Opening:
Note: Cabinet installs over nished wall with
sheetrock and/or tile nishes completed. 3/4”
Flange on all sides of the cabinet will cover
the remaining space in the R.O.
