COUNTERTOP SIZING GUIDELINES FOR WALL INSTALLATIONS
While it is always recommended that eld templates be used to exactly determine countertop sizes on outdoor 
cabinet layouts, the dimensions above, and following rules will be helpful in planning and costing countertop 
installations: 
1. Depth of counter, with a 31/44" nominal overhang, will be 34-31/44" when 4" llers (VFLR4) are used against 
house walls. The depth will be 30-31/44" when no llers are used. Note: Fillers must be used if a grill is installed in 
the cabinet run.
2. Notches in the countertop front edge (11/42" x 1-11/42") are required at all grill, side burner, and wok burner 
cutouts.
3. Total width of countertop modules is determined by adding up the width of each cabinet and ller, in the run, and 
adding 31/44" for each end overhang, and 3/4" for each back panel (if a 90° layout has exposed (island) backs. No 
dimension should be added for side panels (VSP30), as they t ush into the cabinet end.
4. Countertop thickness should be 1-11/44". Any thicker countertop will require that grills, wok burners and side 
burners be shimmed (shims locally supplied), to install ush with the tops.
