Site Preparation 14
IMPORTANT NOTE: Placement of the anti-tip brackets is
critical to a stable installation. Failure to properly position
the anti-tip brackets will prevent them from engaging the
unit.
The two anti-tip brackets must be installed exactly 24"
(610) from the front of the rough opening to the back of the
brackets and a minimum of 4"
(102) from the sides of the
rough opening. This depth will increase to 26
3
/16" (665) for
a flush inset installation based on
3
/4" (19) deep decorative
panels. Proper placement will ensure that the anti-tip
brackets engage the anti-tip bar at the back of the unit.
To properly secure the anti-tip brackets for a stable instal-
lation, use all anti-tip bracket hardware as instructed for
wood or concrete floors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: F
or either wood or concrete floor
applications, if the #12 x 2
1
/2" screws do not hit a wall
stud or the wall plate in any of the back holes of the
brackets, use the provided #8–18 x 1
1
/4" PH truss HD
screws and #12 flat washers with the nylon zip-it wall
anchors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In some installations the subflooring
or finished floor may necessitate angling the screws used
to fasten the anti-tip brackets to the back wall.
Anti-Tip Bracket Installation
To prevent the unit from tipping forward and provide
a stable installation, the unit must be secured in place
with the anti-tip brackets provided.
Make sure there are no electrical wires or plumbing
in the area which the screws could penetrate.
