Installing the mount to plywood
Learn how to install the wall mounts onto plywood.
The hardware provided is for attaching the mount through standard thickness drywall into plywood.
When installing the wall mounts on a wood stud wall covered with plywood, verify that the wood studs
are a minimum of 2" x 4" nominal size and the plywood is a minimum Grade BC 1/2" (13 mm)
thickness. Plywood may be covered by drywall up to 5/8" thick.
In areas where the mounting screws do not encounter a wood stud, the screws must be mounted onto
plywood.
1. Drill a 5/32" (4 mm) diameter hole 2.5" (64 mm) deep and install a #14 x 2.5" wood screw,
leaving a 6mm (1/4") gap from the plywood.
2. Hang the wall mount on the center screw.
3. Drill four 5/32" (4 mm) diameter holes 2.5" (64 mm) deep.
4. Tighten the four #14 x 2.5" wood screws so that the wall plate is firmly attached, but do not
over-tighten.
Never tighten in excess of 80 in-lbs (9Nm).
Installing the mount to solid concrete or cinder block
Learn how to install the wall mounts onto solid concrete or cinder block walls.
Warning! If not avoided, the following could result in death or serious injury.
•
Concrete wall must be at least 8" (203 mm) thick with a minimum of 2000 psi density. Lighter
density concrete may not hold the concrete anchor.
•
The supporting structure must safely support the combined load of the product, all attached
hardware, and components following all local safety standards and regulations.
When installing wall mounts onto cinder blocks, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" (35 mm) of
actual concrete thickness in the hole to be used for the concrete anchors. The cinder block must meet
ASTM C-90 specifications and a minimum nominal width of 8".
1. Use a standard electric drill on a slow setting to drill a 5/16" (8 mm) diameter hole to a
minimum depth of 2.5” (64 mm).
2. Insert an anchor into the hole flush with the wall.
3. Install a #14 x 2.5" wood screw, leaving a 6mm (¼") gap from the concrete.
4. Hang the wall mount on the center screw.
5. Level the wall mount and mark the center of the four mounting holes. Remove the mount from
the wall.
6. Use a standard electric drill on a slow setting to drill four 5/16” (8 mm) diameter holes to a
minimum depth of 2.5” (64 mm).
To avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity, do not use a
hammer drill. On cinder block walls, mount in a solid part of the block, generally 1" (25 mm)
minimum from the side of the block. Do not drill into mortar joints.
7. Insert anchors into the holes flush with the wall.
Never attach concrete expansion anchors to concrete or cinder block covered with plaster,
drywall, or other finishing material.
8. Place the pull out mount assembly over the anchors and secure it with four #14 x 2.5” screws.
