Ensure that all fasteners are at least 1-1/2 in 
(38 mm) away from the edges of masonry 
blocks or bricks.

Channel Strut (Unistrut) 

Struts must be minimum 1-5/8 in x 1-5/8 in, 
12 gauge. If mounting on wood studs, attach 
the strut to at least three studs, using at least 
one 1/4-inch wood screw with washer per 
stud, of sufficient length for at least 2-1/2 in 
embedment into the studs.
If mounting on metal studs, attach the strut to 
at least three studs, using at least two #14 
sheet metal screws with washers per stud, of 
sufficient length to penetrate at least 3 
threads beyond the studs.
To attach the bracket to the struts, use at least 
four (one in each corner) 1/4-inch hex head 
screws with washers and strut nuts.
