Casework Installation

B. If the damage cannot be repaired locally, forward the noted freight bill or the concealed damage report to Diversified Casework, along with information giving the Item and Section Number of the part that is damaged. Please refer to installation prints for Item and Section Numbers for each piece. C. Damaged Tops: If damage occurs to tops, handle the same as damage to furniture. A packing list covering the top material shipped to you is included in crate No. 1 of the original shipment from the manufacturer. It will enable you to refer to the crate needed for each item. We realize that different items are sometimes packed in one crate, but like sizes force us to do this to reduce crating expense. Please refer to installation prints for piece marking if breakage or damage occurs. INSTALLATION Your furniture is designed to make installation as easy as possible. All necessary scribe strips, fillers and other parts are furnished as ordered to allow you to achieve a complete and finished laboratory installation. Be sure to study your prints and packing lists carefully before starting installation of any furniture. This Installation Manual should also be read thoroughly before installation begins. To aid you in segregating the units required to make up a complete item, each piece of furniture is identified with the Order Number, Part Number, Room and Elevation Number. Hardware and plumbing fixtures are cartoned and the carton number can be found on the packing list. We recommend that you check the contents of each carton against the packing list and report any discrepancies to your local Diversified Casework dealer promptly. We also recommend that the hardware and plumbing fixtures be locked up until installed. Much time and effort can be saved if the units are segregated as they are unpacked and moved to the approximate location where they are to be installed. The packing lists should be carefully checked during the unpacking process to prevent loose items from being thrown away with the packing material. Any discrepancies between packing slip and material actually received must be reported to Diversified Casework within five(5) working days from receipt of shipment. Each piece of furniture is identified with the Order Number, Part Number, Room and Elevation Number. On lower cabinets and apron sections, the identification will be on top of the unit or on a tag attached to the cabinet back. On other pieces, a tag will be attached or the Part Number shown on an exposed place on the part. Refer to the installation prints and find the corresponding section or cabinet number and place the cabinets in their approximate final location. NOTE: Wood table tops are subject to warpage and end checking if stored improperly prior to installation. They should be stored in a dry place on a level surface. Place wood strips between tops, at intervals of not more than four feet along the length of the top and crossway to the grain of the top. Cover tops with a protective covering to minimize damage. NOTE: Before starting the actual casework installation, check the scribe and filler type you have against the trim section of this booklet, as it is necessary for some types of trim to be installed prior to setting cabinetry.

UNPACKING To remove the unit from the shipping protection, slice up the back of the cabinet to cut through the shrink wrap. Be careful not to damage the back of the unit. The foam wrapping should be folded and saved to be used for protecting the tops and fronts of cabinets after installation. LAYOUT When the units that form a complete item have been placed in the approximate location where they are to be installed, arrange the units according to the installation drawings. Once this has been done, locate the high point in the floor by leveling across the tops of the units. When the high point has been determined, level to the starting point to determine the height the first unit must be set to maintain the level of the highest unit. WALL MOUNTED STORAGE CABINET INSTALLATION Wall cabinets are hung by first attaching wood cleats to the wall and then securing the cabinets to the cleats with screws. Determine the exact location of the cabinet and mark the desired location of the top left corner on the wall. Locate the cleats as shown in Figure 03. If more than one cabinet is to be installed in a row, make a chalk line on wall to line up the top of cleats. Make sure chalk line is level.

Wood cleats (not supplied) should be 3” to 4” wide and 3/4” thick. Cut them 6” less in length than the length of the cabinet. Mount the cleats as shown with heads of fasteners recessed flush with the face of the fronts of the cleats. Check the face of the cleats for plumb and, if necessary, insert shims between the cleat and the wall to bring to plumb. Wood cleats should be secured to the wall using appropriate fasteners as dictated by wall construction. (Due to varying wall material, fasteners are not furnished with the equipment). • Drill 9/32” hole in the back of the cabinet approximately 4” from each side of the cabinet and on the centerline of each cleat (4 holes). Set the cabinet in place, allowing the top rear rail to rest on the tops of the wood cleats. Fasten it to the wood cleats using #12 x 1-1/4” oval head screws with #12 countersunk washers.
