Section 3: Installation
3.1 Mounting the Cabinet
Read the environmental specifications in Section 2.1 before you mount the IFP-FFT cabinet. This will ensure that you select a suitable loca-
tion to install the cabinet.
The cabinet can be surface or flush- mounted. Do NOT flush-mount in a wall designed as a fire break.
3.1.1 Surface Mounting
The cabinet can be mounted on the wall surface by using the mounting holes in the back of the cabinet.
1. Mark and pre-drill holes in the wall for the top keyhole mounting bolts 14” apart.
2. Place backbox over the top screws, level and secure.
3. Mark and drill the lower mounting holes.
3.1.2 Flush Mounting
This Section describes how to flush-mount the cabinet into a wall. To recess mount the cabinet. you need to use the optional trim ring P/N
VIP-TR (ordered separately).
Follow these steps to recess mount the cabinet:
1. Remove the cabinet door and the dead front panel.
2. Cut a recess hole 20.25” W x 26.75” H (51.4 cm W x 68 cm H).
3. There should be dimensions of 1.5" to 1.75" of space between the cabinet extending from the wall. This distance should be measured
from either the top edge or bottom edge to the exterior side of the sheet rock. (See Figure 3.2.).
4. To mount the cabinet to the wall studs, insert a screw through the cabinet’s side mounting holes directly into the wall stud.
