Installation Overview
Installing the Viking VGSU5306BSS requires careful attention to cutout precision and material support. The cutout dimensions of 27.75" W x 19.125" D must be executed with corner radii of 0.375 inches to prevent stress concentrations in the countertop material. The cooktop sits 2.75 inches tall, demanding adequate clearance beneath the countertop surface. Before cutting, verify that your substrate provides sufficient support around the perimeter, especially critical with fragile materials like quartz or thin granite slabs. The unit requires a minimum 3-inch support ledge on all sides for proper weight distribution. Ensure combustible clearances meet Viking's specifications: minimum 6 inches to sidewalls and 30 inches to overhead combustibles. Gas supply connections require coordination with the installer, and electrical requirements include a standard 120V outlet for the electronic ignition system.
CNC Cutting Notes
When programming your CNC for the Viking VGSU5306BSS cutout, precision toolpathing is essential. Start with a 3/8-inch radius router bit to match the specified 0.375-inch corner radius, preventing corner stress points that can lead to cracking. Set your feed rate conservatively for the material: 60-80 IPM for granite, 40-60 IPM for quartz, and 50-70 IPM for marble. Use a climb cutting direction to minimize chipping on the top surface, and implement a two-pass strategy: rough cut at 90% dimension, then finish pass to final dimension. For engineered quartz, consider water cooling to prevent resin scorching. Edge polishing is critical post-cut; use progressive diamond pads from 50 to 3000 grit for professional edge finish. The rectangular geometry with gentle radii makes this an ideal intermediate-difficulty CNC project, typically completing in 25-35 minutes depending on material hardness and machine specifications.
Material Compatibility
The Viking VGSU5306BSS cutout template is engineered for compatibility across all major countertop materials. **Granite**: Excellent choice, minimum 3cm thickness recommended for structural integrity around the cutout perimeter. The natural stone's heat resistance pairs perfectly with the high-BTU gas burners. **Quartz**: Fully compatible with 2cm or 3cm engineered quartz; ensure fabricator uses proper supports as quartz is less flexible than granite. Heat-resistant quartz formulations recommended given proximity to burners. **Marble**: Structurally suitable but requires sealing due to porosity; 3cm thickness preferred for durability. **Solid Surface**: Compatible with Corian and similar materials, minimum 3/4-inch thickness, requires heat shields per manufacturer specifications. **Porcelain Slabs**: Excellent choice for ultra-thin applications; verify edge support requirements. **Quartzite**: Natural quartzite provides superior heat resistance and durability, ideal for high-performance cooking installations. Always verify material thickness, support requirements, and heat tolerance with your material supplier before cutting.
Where to Buy
Viking VGSU5306BSS cooktops are available through authorized Viking dealers, luxury appliance showrooms, and online retailers including Abt Electronics, Designer Appliances, Build.com, and Ferguson. Pricing typically ranges from $1,800 to $2,400 depending on fuel type configuration (natural gas vs. propane) and retailer promotions. For fabricators, we recommend directing clients to local Viking authorized dealers who can provide professional delivery, installation coordination, and warranty service. Many dealers offer package pricing when purchasing multiple Viking appliances. Professional installers should verify current model availability as Viking periodically updates the Professional 5 Series lineup.
