How to install the LS12 Mailbox into an existing wall

Step 1

Cut a hole in the front wall at the required height.

• A = 407mm, the height of the side of the opening
• H = 427mm, the height to the top of the apex
• W = 299mm, the width of the opening

If the slate front is to be recessed into the wall the cut an 18mm border around the letterbox hole. The depth of the border should be the depth of required recess amount + 3mm. I.e. if the slate is to be recessed back 10mm then the border should be chased to a depth of 13mm.

Step 2

Cut a hole in the rear wall the size shown below.

• A = 398mm, the height of the side of the opening
• H = 418mm, the height to the top of the apex
• W = 280mm, the width of the opening

Note The bottom of the rear cutout should be level with the bottom of the front cutout. The sides should be equidistant in from the front cutout.

Step 3

Disassemble the containing box by undoing the 4 brass T Nuts with the 4mm Allan key.

Remove any threaded rods that remain fixed to the front casting and re-attach the brass T Nuts. Ensure the nylon washers remain on the threaded rods.

Step 4

On the back face of the slate front, apply a bead of glue suitable for exterior use. (such as No More Nails) 10mm from the. Also apply glue to the front of the containing box.

Step 5

Align the slate front with the front of the containg box and push the faces together.

Use the four 50mm bolts, washers and nylocs to fix the faces together.

Note: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS as this may damage the slate.

Step 6

Ensure that the rubber seals are properly in place and slide the inner sleeve into the cutout.

With the help of an assistant re-assemble the letterbox components together. Ensure the adhesive on the slate is in contact with the brickwork. See the exploded view below.

Step 4

Ensure that the slate front is square to the brickwork. (It may be necsessary to loosen the nylocks and adjust the front before re-tightening the nylocs

Apply a support until the glue has set.

To seal the slate face, run a bead of clear silicon around the sides and top edges (not the bottom) between the slate and the face of the brickwork.

Also seal the top and sides between the brickwork and the letterbox sleeve on the back wall.
