Step 3: Prepare Duct Cutouts in
Cabinet
Y A. Refer to Figure 8. Drop a plumb-line
from Point "P" at the rear center of the
countertop cutout. Mark this point on the
bottom of the cabinet below. Construct
two reference lines through this point:
one should be parallel to the cabinet
front and directly below the rear counter-
top cutout (Line A-A), and the other (Line
B-B) should be at right angles to A-A.
Y B. Using these reference lines as a base
for the measurements, layout the neces-
sary cabinet cutouts needed to imple-
ment the planned ductwork route. Where
a range of measurements is noted,
choose a measurement that allows best
clearance from wall studs, floor joists,
utilities, or other obstructions.
