INSTALLATION

STEP | 01 LAYOUT & INSTALL PREP
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION

Determining where you’d like to install your cabinet is up to you, however there are some tips that make choosing the location a little easier.

See the diagrams FIG 1 and FIG 2. Notice the centerline ribs depicted as a dotted line. This centerline is standard across all sizes of Sprinter Van and can be used as a reference point when measuring your available wall space.

Take the time to measure your available wall space and layout potential cabinet locations before installing.

NOTE – Due to the amount of variability and specific c needs of each vehicle, we do not supply hardware for DIY installs. See page 7 for more info.

NOTE – Mounting hardware is included if you purchased the optional Adwa Mounting Kit.

NOTE – Doors come boxed and shipped separately.
NOTE – Install the cabinet shell to the van body before adding doors.

  • This will make the cabinet be lighter and easier to lift.
  • Door alignment will change slightly once cabinet is tightened to the van.

STEP | 02 ADWAG INSTALL

NOTE -The distance between the mounting points are 36” on the upper section and 14” – 16” on the lower.

2.2a Install the Mounting Brackets to the Cabinet using (2ea) 10-32 X 0.6875 Flat Head Hex Drive Screws, #10 Flat Washers and 10-32 Nylon Insert Locknuts.

The upper and lower mounting surfaces of the Cabinet have multiple horizontal slots to accept hardware for wherever and however you’d like to install them.

The slots can accept 1/4” hardware (i.e. 1/4-20 or #12) for your reference.

It is recommended to install cabinets securely into the vans structural sheet metal using rivet nuts and screws for maximum performance. Sheet metal screws can also be used in some situations.

In FIG 6, note the areas marked in orange. Any spot along this structural sheet metal can be used to mount your cabinet.

2.1b With help, lift the cabinet to the desired location in the van. Identify which mounting slots will be used for the ceiling and wall mounting hardware.

2.2b Mark locations if necessary.

2.3b Mount cabinet with desired hardware.

NOTE – Removing or drilling through existing wall panels may be necessary.

PRO-TIP: Bracing the gaps between these mounting areas with wood or metal fi ring will provide more surface area for mounting your cabinet to the van.
