FOR WOOD OR CONCRETE
Step 4A -
Measure placement of mounting blocks or 2x4 or 2x6 on the wall, with an equal
distributed distance between them (see Support Mounting Block Table on page 2) use a stud
finder to ensure area behind façade is clear for installation of screws for securing mounting blocks
or 2x4 or 2x6 to the wall. (If stone or masonry brick, no need to use the stud finder, use Tapcon
screws.)
Step 5B
- Hold each mounting block or 2x4 or 2x6 to the wall, center it on the guideline. Using a
Phillips head screwdriver, insert into top and center drilled 1/4" holes and dimple the wall. If stone
or masonry brick, drill a 3/16" hole in the wall (needed for the Tapcon screws), for each hole on
the wood mounting block or each hole in the 2x4 or 2x6. (Fig. 15)
Step 6B -
Insert three 3" flat head fasteners into the mounting block or 2x4 or 2x6 and securely
attach the wood mounting block or 2x4 or 2x6 to the wall. (Fig. 16) Lightly mark the centerline of
each mounting block or 2x4 or 2x6 where holes have been drilled along the width of the 2x4 or
2x6 (top and bottom) on the wall to align where fasteners (1-1/2" trim screws, Step 8B) will attach
Beam Mantel to blocks or 2x4 or 2x6. (If stone or masonry brick, use Tapcon screws.)
