INSTRUCTIONS AND INSTALLATION GUIDE
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL ‘CUT-OUT’ PROCESSES
AND/OR ANY ‘CUSTOM TOP’ FABRICATION SHOULD BE
DONE BY YOUR SPECIALIST WORKTOP PROVIDER
In either of these surface-mount methods, it is also possible to ‘personalise’ the unit, by replacing the
steel top with a piece of matching material to the work top if required.
OPTION 1
OPTION 2
OPTION 2
in shallow rebate
for a ‘flush’ finish
Maximum thickness of any material is 12mm. The Collar can be adjusted upwards to relevel it with that
new material. Then please follow counterbalance “re-weight” instructions shown later in this guide.
2.5mm
OPTION 3
OPTION 4
This method involves the installation of the unit at exactly 20mm below the Counter-top surface so that the
product can be fully disguised into its location with a custom top that matches its surroundings. This is
known as an “Inset” or rebated method. The maximum thickness of this custom top is also 12mm.
In worktop materials of 30mm thickness and above, the installation is achieved by sitting the collar on a
rebate shelf within the material.
For materials of 20mm thickness, installation is achieved by sitting the collar on a “false” rebate, created
by using a second material below it.

NB. If your Worktop material is only 12mm thick (e.g. Corian or Silestone) please see thru-view Option 5
There are 2 (and only 2) positions to fit an S-Box™ unit:
Either: A - Surface-mounted
Or: B - ‘Inset’ at -20mm below surface.
This simplest installation method is to insert it straight into a cut-out hole →
The fitted collar sits neatly on the worktop surface. Its own weight will keep it there. Please do not use any
adhesive or sealant. (A shallow rebate can also be used if preferred to create a flush finish)

SURFACE MOUNT THRU-VIEWS
Custom Top option - Collar still sits on countertop but steel top has been EXCHANGED for an
alternative one ↓ Please note that any custom top CANNOT be thicker than 12mm.
Using Top and Collar as supplied ↑
- STAGE 1 (Preparing the S-Box™)
Remove and discard the existing Steel top - by unscrewing its 3 dome nuts.
>
Loosen the 6 Collar screws and press it down - so that it is level with the pattress metal. (See below).
P.S. The pattress is the flat skirt plate shown below.
This re-creates the clearance required below the later new top - so that when it is pressed down it will
engage and disengage the catch mechanism inside the unit. Re-tighten the collar screws (with the
new top temporarily ↓ in position) so that the required 20mm total is achieved (as below)
<< 4-5 mm clearance

*PLEASE NOTE*
THESE STAGE 1 INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO ENABLE THE
CONVERSION OF A UNIT THAT HAS A STEEL TOP AND
COLLAR ALREADY FITTED WHEN IT WAS DELIVERED.
IF YOU HAVE A UNIT THAT IS ALREADY PREPARED FOR A
CUSTOM TOP (i.e. S-BOX CHAMELEON) YOU MAY SKIP
TO STAGE 2.
YOUR “ADAPTED” UNIT WILL LOOK
LIKE THIS ↓
