1.4.3: Installation on the walls
Wall brackets
For free bearing installations, the end of the rails can be attached to the wall using wall brackets. Wall brackets are
available in several models, see 9: Wall fixtures - brackets and vertical supports. The choice depends, among other
factors, on the wall structure and material.

Wall bracket parallel (plaster)
Vertical support
Vertical support is an alternative fixture for wall-mounting of free bearing rail systems, see 9: Wall fixtures - brackets
and vertical supports. When there are doubts about the load bearing capacity of the wall, vertical supports should
be chosen. Before installation, the condition of the floor must be determined in order to decide if the floor can carry
the extra point load created by the vertical supports.
