Step 2: Mount Wall Plate(s)
Wood Stud Wall
If possible, mount the wall plates to a wood stud . Use a
stud sensor to locate the stud, clearly marking the outer
edges of the stud .
Pre-drill the upper hole in the center of your stud, and
attach the wall plate temporarily to the wall using M6 x
50mm screw
(A)
, as shown in Diagram D . Use a level to
ensure the wall plate is vertical, then mark the bottom
hole . Remove the wall plate and pre-drill the bottom
hole . Make sure the wall plate is flat against the wall
surface . Attach the wall plate using two M6 x 50mm
screws (
A
), taking care not to over-tighten .
Subsequent wall plates can be added by inserting tab,
checking vertical, marking, pre-drilling and attaching .
Brick or Concrete Wall
For brick or concrete installations, use a wall plate as
a template and mark two holes at your desired height .
Adjust the wall plate position to be clear of mortar joints .
Use a level to ensure the holes are vertical .
Pre-drill two holes, and insert a Concrete Anchor
(B)
into
each of the holes flush with the concrete wall surface and
not flush with the surface covering, such as drywall .
Attach the Wall Plate using two M6 x 50mm screws
(A)
,
as shown in Diagram E . Make sure the Wall Plate is flat
against the wall surface . Do not over-tighten screws
(A)
.
Subsequent wall plates can be added by inserting
tab, checking vertical, marking, pre-drilling, inserting
Concrete Anchors (
B
) and attaching .
CAUTION
Make sure the supporting surface will support
the load limits outlined in the Caution at bottom of
page two . Tighten screws until the Wall Plate is snug flat
against the wall . Do not over tighten screws (
A
) or (
C
) .
Each screw should be screwed into a wood stud .
CAUTION
Make sure the concrete or brick wall is at least
2 .5” thick . Make sure the anchor is seated completely
flush with the concrete surface even if there is another
layer of material, such as drywall . If drywall is over 5/8”
thick custom lag bolts must be used . Concrete must be a
minimum of 2000psi in density .

Drywall
The AVS series can be mounted to drywall . Use a wall
plate as a template and mark two holes at your desired
height . Use a level to ensure the holes are vertical .
Pre-drill two holes, and screw a Drywall Anchor
(E)
into
each of the holes flush with the drywall surface . Attach
the wall plate using two #8 x 35mm Phillips screws (
C
)
and washers (
D
), as shown in Diagram F . Take care not to
over-tighten .
Subsequent wall plates can be added by inserting tab,
checking vertical, marking, pre-drilling, screwing in
Drywall Anchor (
E
) and attaching .
