Make sure the mounting brackets are orientated so that when the beam is mounted, the front of
the beam will be facing out, as shown in Figure 4.

2.3 Mounting the Beam
1)
Place the beam in the desired location.
2)
Use a spirit level to make sure the beam is as close to a truly vertical or horizontal position as
possible, depending upon the type of beam purchased.
3)
Using the beam as a template, mark the locations of the holes in the mounting brackets on the
mounting surface. The marks should be as close as possible to being in line on a horizontal or
vertical plane.
4)
Using a masonry drill (or other suitable equipment), drill two 12 mm (1/2") diameter holes,
approximately 40 mm (1.6") deep at the marked locations.
5)
Clean the holes thoroughly. (Blow them out with compressed air if possible.)
6)
Insert the expansion anchors into the holes, with the slotted end down.
7)
Insert the provided setting tool, small end first, into the anchor. Expand the anchor by hitting
the large end of the setting tool with several sharp hammer blows.
8)
Thread the supplied 3/8-16 anchor rod into the anchor. Thread-locking cement can be used to
ensure the hardware remains secure.
