Not typically how I see installed certainly not how I installed the 3 I have, but sounds like it would be nice.

We installed it so the plate is not flush with the wall. It probably looks cool inset but most lights are not mounted flush, they are mounted out of the wall.

I installed with the box sticking out. I think it looks good this way, and think it is designed to do this.

Have you noticed if yours hum? I'm wondering if sinking the box into the wall- as you did, will help decrease the buzzing sound they emit. Thanks for any insight.

As seen in the picture, that's exactly how you receive the product. I have it on the left side of my toilet and it works well. It's easier for me to load from the front and now have a grab bar to use as a bonus. I have it installed at a slight angle upward so the toilet paper doesn't slide off the bottom bar as it is angled slightly downward. Why they made it that that way??? I have no idea! You could install it vertically, but then you lose the use of the grab bar. To make it more solid, I would attach this bar to a board that's long enough so that you can screw directly into two studs. That's if you intend to put any weight on it. I hope this helps. As seen in the picture, that's exactly how you receive the product. I have it on the left side of my toilet and it works well.

No, it just goes right against the wall- exactly like you see in the picture. So you will want to make sure to keep the area dry (especially if you are putting it against drywall, like I did).

The top white porcelain sink extends about a 1/2 inch in the back and sits flush against my wall, the Plummer added caulking to seal any gap (don't know if that how everyone does it but that's how mine was installed). There is a 1/2 maybe 1/4 inch gap between my wall and the back wooden part of the vanity and I do have large baseboards so yes it sits flush where the porcelain sink portion meets the wall but there is a slight gap between the wooden vanity portion and the wall. I don't think you can even notice it and then again that's how mine was installed, don't know if that's right or wrong but it was professionally installed.

The back is not flush. You must install it onto a out door junction box first for connection, then mount the box onto flat surface.

Hi Jeremy, The back is finished so that you do not have to have this against a wall. It would be in the finish that you selected for the entire unit. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you any further concerns. Sandy, Owner Best Kitchen Products

Mine is pretty flush, cut between the studs and screw in from the sides, not the back.

I could not find anything in the instructions that mentioned a flush mount or how to mount the unit flush (against the ceiling) so I used the shortest drop rod.My ceiling height in the small bedroom I installed this unit in would not allow me to use the light kit as I would be bumping my head into it as it would hang too low.The ceiling fan works great without the light kit and looks very nice, but I would have preferred a light that I could have used. Also instructions for installing the fan without the light are not in the supplied instructions, you must get them online, which I found irritating. It's very simple, but it should be included on the instruction sheet.

Sorry, I was confused, this order was for my mother in law. We were'nt ableto install it recessed but if I remember correctly it was because our wall wasn't deep enough.

I say "yes"...however this display picture shows how the opening of the bottom of the "J" faces you if it is right hand placed and therefore sort of easier to place the new roll in it......if you place it on the left wall then the bottom of the "J" will face outward.....I don't think it will cause a hardship......If you do buy this be sure to install it on a slight angle so that the toilet paper doesn't fall off.....my guy did this & it works perfectly and trust me even though it may not be the best looking paperholder ever, it is a God sent item for those who suffer from back aches etc......

There are holes in the back of the cabinet. It is rather weighted, so someone will need to put some heavy duty anchors into the wall first. Then, someone needs to line up the cabinet with the anchors, and screw it into the anchor thru those holes. Suggestion: Buy the heavy duty wall anchors and screws. I never trust the ones that are put in the box.

Yes, they should be flush. when you put it on the front w/o screwing it in, the entire plate should sit on the drawer. if it is loose after you put the screws in the back, you might need to put spacers (washers) inside the drawer. I had to do this with one of my drawers that wasn't thick enough. edit: by flush, i assume you mean that the back of this plate sits on the drawer's face .... obviously the handle part will stick out a little bit.

This is a single-hole unit, as is my sink. I don't remember if it came with a plate to cover the additional holes. (Maybe an internet search of Pfister's site will tell you what's included in the box?) I have it installed flush with the sink. Sorry I can't help beyond that ...

Hi Cathi,I am not sure what you are asking....? But, if you are thinking that this is meant to be recessed into the wall you are mistaken. It comes complete in the box and is finished all the way around. I just hung it up as is. However, if someone of the required skill did want to recess it level with the wall it is strong enough to handle that.It is 4 3/4 inches deep. I should also mention that the instructions gave me information about hanging directly on the wall only. Good luck and happy new year.

It is designed to be installed either way. Much easier to install on the wall and looks great!

my plumber said that he installed others similar into the wall, actually that was the only way he new originally. We did not see any where letting a person think that it might be possible. If it is installed in the wall that would make it really hard to fix any problems that could occur in the future. He put shut-off valves on the water lines coming of the wall then center the system on the wall. My husband and I really are enjoying the unit.
