Mounting Draft Arms or Tee Towers to a Cabinet Top
Note: If you are mounting the tower to a counter top instead of the cabinet top, please refer to the section titled
Mounting Draft Arms or Tee Towers to a Counter Top on the following page.
1. Most cabinets come with pre-drilled hole congurations in the cabinet top for mounting
dispensing towers and drainers. However, if the holes need to be drilled during eld installation, templates are available at www.perlick.com/bar-beverage-equipment/specications-
downloads/tower-and-drip-pan-templates/.
2. Factory-provided tapping holes will have a wood block embedded in the cabinet top for
additional support. It is recommended that you drill 3/32” pilot holes into the wood block for
the four mounting holes on the tower ange. Remove the protective lm paper from the area
1
where the tower will be installed.
3. Attach the dispensing tower to the cabinet top using a athead screwdriver. To prevent
accidental scratches or gouges, cover the tower ange and cabinet top while mounting the
tower. The tower should be sealed to the cabinet top with a food grade RTV silicone.
