Step 2: Mount Wall Plate
Wood Stud Wall
The Wall Plate must be mounted to a wood stud. Use a
stud sensor to locate the stud, clearly marking the outer
edges of the stud (see Diagram B).
Pre-drill the upper hole in the center of your stud and
attach the Wall Plate to the wall using a Lag Bolt
(I)
(see
Diagram B). Do not overtighten lag bolt
(I)
. Make sure
the Wall Plate is flat against the wall surface. Using the
Wall Plate as template and a level to ensure the wallplate
is level, pre-drill the bottom hole, and secure using a Lag
Bolt
(I)
, taking care not to overtighten.
Brick or Concrete Wall
Using the Wall Plate as a template, mark four holes
toward the outer edge of the Wall Plate at your desired
height (see Diagram C). 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 long level to ensure the four holes are
level and at the desired height.
Pre-drill four holes, and insert a Concrete Anchor
(J)
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 4 Lag Bolts
(I)
(see Diagram
C). Make sure the Wall Plate is flat against the wall
surface. Do not overtighten Lag Bolts
(I)
.
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 overtighten Lag Bolts
(
I
). Each Lag Bolt must be located in the center of 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.
