Instructions

1

Measure from the floor to the top of vanity to ensure that the vanity will sit at the desired height and fit in the desired space.

2

Place the vanity so that the cabinetry surrounds the water and drain pipes. When placed properly, the pipes should be completely enclosed within the vanity. Use a level to ensure that the top of the vanity is level. Use shims if necessary to bring the vanity into level.

Move a stud finder along the wall and make a mark with a pencil on the wall, slightly above the vanity, where the wall studs are placed. Use these marks to determine where to drill holes in the vanity cabinet.

4

Drill a pilot hole through the vanity cabinet, using a drill and drill bit. Change the drill bit to a screwdriver bit. Use 2-inch screws and drill them through the vanity cabinet to secure the vanity to the wall.
