Setup and Installation
Proper measurement of your cabinet opening is crucial for a successful installation. This product is designed for base or lower cabinets. Ensure you have the correct minimum cabinet opening dimensions before purchasing and installing.
Measuring Your Cabinet Opening
To determine the correct size organizer for your cabinet, you need to measure the minimum cabinet opening width, height, and depth. Consider any obstructions such as plumbing or hinges.
Video: An official Rev-A-Shelf guide demonstrating how to correctly measure cabinet openings for various products, including face frame and frameless cabinets, and considering width, height, and depth.
- Width: Measure the side-to-side dimension of your cabinet's opening. Account for any door hinges that might obstruct the pull-out mechanism.
- Height: Measure from the bottom of the cabinet opening to the top.
- Depth: Measure from the outside front edge of the cabinet to the back wall.

Installation Steps
The Rev-A-Shelf RV-12PB-LE unit features a simple 4-screw installation process. The package includes the white 35-quart container, a 16-inch depth white frame, a lid, and all necessary mounting hardware.
- Position the slide system base inside your cabinet opening, ensuring it is centered and aligned with the cabinet front.
- Mark the four screw locations through the pre-drilled holes in the base.
- Secure the base to the cabinet floor using the provided mounting hardware.
- Place the 35-quart waste container into the steel frame.
- Attach the lid to the container.
Ensure the unit slides smoothly in and out without obstruction from cabinet doors or hinges. If your cabinet door is designed to be mounted directly to the pull-out unit, refer to the specific instructions provided with the optional door mount kit (sold separately).
Operating Instructions
Your Rev-A-Shelf pull-out waste container is designed for ease of use and durability.
- Pull-Out Mechanism: To access the waste container, gently pull the front of the unit. The 100lb full-extension ball-bearing slide system allows the container to extend completely out of the cabinet for easy access and removal.
- Closing the Unit: To close, push the unit back into the cabinet until it is fully recessed.
- Lid Usage: The included lid helps contain odors and keep contents out of sight. It can be easily removed for emptying the container.
