SPECIFICATION: The cabinet is made of alloy 18 - 8 stainless steel, type 304, 18 gauge (1.2mm). The adjustable and fixed flanges are 1' (25mm) wide, formed without miters, welding, or open seams, and have a 1/4' (6mm) square return to the wall. The adjustable flange offers an installation range of 1 - 3/4' to 5 - 1/2' (44mm to 140mm). The structural assembly is welded. The doors are attached with a 3/16' (5mm) dia. stainless steel multi - staked piano hinge and held closed by a spring - tensioned interlocking mechanism. INSTALLATION: The unit can be mounted in walls 1 - 3/4' to 5 - 1/2' deep. First, secure the fixed flange through 4 mounting holes using No10 self - tapping screws. Then, secure the adjustable flange on the opposite side. For ADA compliance, install with the door centerline at specific heights above the finished floor depending on access type. For general use, set the centerline at 54' (1372mm) AFF. The required rough wall opening is 11 - 1/2'W x 11'H x 1 - 3/4' to 5 - 1/2'D (292mm x 279mm x 44mm to 140mm).

Using the ASI 8154 Recessed Specimen Pass - Thru Cabinet is straightforward. To deposit a specimen, simply open one of the doors and place the sample inside. Remember, the interlocking mechanism ensures that only one door can be open at a time, so make sure the first door is fully closed before trying to access the specimen from the other side. When it comes to installation, first, measure your wall to ensure it's between 1 - 3/4 inches and 5 - 1/2 inches thick. Then, cut a rough opening that's 11 - 1/2 inches wide and 11 inches high. Secure the fixed flange first using the provided No10 self - tapping screws through the 4 mounting holes. After that, attach the adjustable flange to the other side of the wall. If you want to comply with ADA guidelines, pay attention to the height of the door centerline above the finished floor based on the type of access you have. For regular use, setting the centerline at 54 inches above the floor is a good choice. As for maintenance, the removable stainless steel drip tray is a great feature. Just take it out regularly and clean it to keep the cabinet tidy. Also, wipe the satin - finished surfaces with a soft cloth to maintain their shine and smudge - resistant quality. During shipping, the surfaces are protected with a PVC film. Remove this film after installation for the best look.
