Step 2: Mount Wall Plate
Wood Stud Wall
The Wall Plate must be mounted to two wood studs. Use
a stud sensor to locate the two studs, clearly marking the
outer edges of the studs. Use a level to ensure the two
holes are level at the desired height.
Pre-drill two upper holes in the center of your studs,
and attach the Wall Plate to the wall using Lag Bolts
(L)
and Lag Bolt Washers
(K)
(see Diagram B). Do not
over-tighten Lag Bolts
(L)
. Make sure the Wall Plate is flat
against the wall surface. Using the Wall Plate as template,
pre-drill the bottom two holes, and secure using Lag
Bolts
(L)
and Lag Bolt Washers
(K)
, taking care not to
over-tighten.
Brick or Concrete Wall
Using the Wall Plate as a template, mark six holes at your
desired height (four toward the outer edge of the Wall
Plate, and two near the center). Adjust the Wall Plate
position to be clear of mortar joints, keeping in mind
that the mount provides minor horizontal shift along the
length of the Wall Plate. Use a level to ensure the holes
are level and at the desired height.
Pre-drill six holes, and insert a Concrete Anchor
(M)
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 Lag Bolts
(L)
and Lag Bolt
Washers
(K)
(see Diagram C). Make sure the Wall Plate
is flat against the wall surface. Do not over-tighten Lag
Bolts
(L)
.
CAUTION
Make sure the supporting surface will support
the load limits outlined in the Caution at bottom
of page two. Tighten Lag Bolts until the Wall Plate is
snug flat against the wall. Do not over tighten Lag Bolts
(
L
). Each Lag Bolt must be screwed into a wood stud.
CAUTION
Make sure the concrete or brick wall is at least 3.5”
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.
