Mounting to a concrete or brick wall
This mounting surface includes walls that are constructed of either brick wall and
mortar or solid concrete.
Due to the variable nature of laying bricks, and the variation in types of mortar
joints, most brick walls have an uneven surface. If possible, select a location on the
wall that allows all four corner screw holes to remain flat without warping the wall
mount plate. If this location is not possible, add a metal washer or other type of
shim under one or more screw holes. This addition allows the wall mount plate to
be mounted without warping it.
Use a bubble level to assure that you mount the wall mount plate squarely. Use
four concrete anchors to attach the wall mount plate to the wall. Use one concrete
anchor in each corner of the wall mount plate. See “Fastener types” on page 24 for
detailed fastener information to determine the types of fasteners that are suggested.
After installation, make sure that the screw heads are flush or below the outer
surface of the wall mount plate. Check to make sure that you attached the wall
mount plate firmly and securely to the wall.
