Step 5 - Connect the base units and fix to the wall<br />

Once the units are correctly<br />

positioned, start in a corner<br />

and fix the units to the wall<br />

and connect them together.<br />

Fix to the wall with the<br />

supplied brackets. Use plugs<br />

or other suitable fixings of the<br />

correct type for the wall<br />

construction. Tall and<br />

appliance units in particular,<br />

must be securely fixed. If in<br />

any doubt, consult an expert.<br />

Mark a line around the room at<br />

the height for the wall hanging<br />

plates.<br />

<strong>Kitchen</strong>s with Tall units:<br />

measure 64mm down from<br />

the top of the Tall Unit.<br />

<strong>Kitchen</strong>s without Tall units:<br />

measure 2129mm up from the<br />

floor.<br />

If there are Dressers units,<br />

make sure there is 1259mm<br />

between the line and the top<br />

of the base units.<br />

The connecting bolts used to<br />

connect the units together can be<br />

hidden by putting them adjacent<br />

to the hinge plate, shelf or drawer<br />

runner.<br />

Clamp the units together. Decide where to locate the connection bolts. This<br />

shows the hole being drilled behind a hinge location. Drill through with a 5mm<br />

wood drill into a piece of scrap wood. Push in the bolt and tighten the screw.<br />

Mark the position for drilling. Move the bracket out of the way. Drill using a bit suitable for the wall and the<br />

size of wall plug. Fit the plug. Put the bracket back in position and fit a suitable screw. Plasterboard is not<br />

strong enough to support wall or tall units so plasterboard fixings are not suitable for fixing those units but<br />

are acceptable for base units only. Tall units, especially ones with appliances, need to be very securely<br />

fixed to the wall. If necessary fit a batten to studs within the wall and then fix the unit to the batten.<br />
