The KiloVault® HAB™ V4
mounting plate can be used as a template to mark your
pilot holes on the mounting surface. Choose holes so that you can mount the
plate using at least four of the widely spaced holes. Use a level to ensure that
the plate is level.
Refer to Section 4.5.1
for information
regarding mounting surface requirements.
4.5.1.
Mounting Surface
If you are anchoring the mounting plate into wood studs use at least four (one
at each corner) #14 (1/4") wood screws with washers. The screws must be long
enough to penetrate at least 1½" into the studs.
If you are anchoring into plywood wall material, the plywood must be at least ¾
inch thick. Use four (one at each corner) #14 (1/4") wood screws with washers.
The screws must be long enough to penetrate at least ¼ inch beyond the back
of the plywood. You can also use four (one at each corner) heavy duty ¼-inch
toggle bolts, rated for at least 250 lb.
If you are anchoring into metal studs, the studs must be a minimum of 18
gauge. Use at least four (one at each corner) #14 sheet metal screws with
washers. The screws must be long enough to penetrate at least three threads
beyond the stud. If installing on a wall with metal studs less than 18 gauge, a
mounting surface (such as a larger plywood surface to distribute the weight)
must be attached to the wall prior to installing the KiloVault® HAB™ V4.
If you are anchoring into concrete or masonry, the minimum strength of the
concrete must be at least 2500 PSI, while the minimum strength of the masonry
must be at least 1500 PSI. Drill holes into the concrete or masonry with the 12
mm drill bit at the marks you made earlier. Hammer the included M8*30
expansion screws into the wall. Attach the plate onto the wall with the M8
bolts.
4.5.2.
Mounting and Securing the KiloVault® HAB™ V4
Using sufficient personnel and the built-in lift handles to position the KiloVault®
HAB™ V4 unit in the installation area. We strongly recommend using lift
equipment and straps to secure and steady the KiloVault® HAB™ V4.
