Built-In Refrigeration 30
Dual Installation
STANDARD APPLICATION
Two overlay or stainless steel units may be placed side by
side in a dual installation. Some standard applications will
require a dual installation kit, available through your
authorized Sub-Zero dealer. If you are installing two units
side by side in a flush inset application, refer to page 32.
A custom filler strip can be used between two units in a
framed, overlay or stainless steel design application. It is
recommended that the filler strip be at least 2" (51) wide to
prevent condensation between the units. Be sure to add
the filler strip width to your rough opening width. Refer to
the full-scale template on page 42.
Dual installations without a filler strip can only be accom-
plished using two units with opposite hinges as shown in
illustration A below. The dual installations shown in illus-
trations B and C require a filler strip.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For the application shown in illustra-
tion A, a dual installation accessory kit is required. Refer to
page 36 for information on dual installation kits.
