REQUIRED WALL OPENING
Caution; Before cutting into any existing wall check that there is no interference with piping or electrical wiring.
Ideally the MIRROR/MEDICINE CABINET can be installed between two wall studs on 16" centers. 2x4 reinforcement on either side are
recommended. The required opening in the wall is 14-3/8" in width by 22" from top to bottom. If wall studs are not in desired location
framing the rough opening will be required. See Illustrations below for rough opening and suggested framing.
Determine the height and location and draw center lines to layout the wall opening.
Before installing the medicine cabinet with mirror the dry wall and any finished wall should be completed.
