1) Insert a small straw or toothpick into the threaded inserts found
on the back of the flat-panel.
2) Use a pencil to mark the depth of the threaded insert on the
small straw or toothpick.
3) Mark the straw or toothpick 1/8” above the depth of the
threaded insert, as shown in Figure 1.
4) Insert the small straw or toothpick into the remaining threaded
inserts to compare and verify their depth using the straw or
toothpick’s 1/8” allowance mark.
5) Locate the correct diameter screw for the threaded insert.
If the selected screw is longer than the 1/8” allowance mark
on the small straw or toothpick, as shown in Figure 2 and
Figure 3, do not use this screw. The screw length must not
bypass the mark.
6) Test each size of the screws provided.
The correct screws should thread easily into the mounting
point and not pull out when tension is applied.
