STEP 3: ATTACH FIRST ARM
TIP!
It is easiest to attach arms when the corner of the pot rack to which you are connecting the arm hangs slightly past the
edge of the table. That provides clearance for the flared end that extends below the body of the rack.
Now remove the barrel bolt (28A) from one of the corners, keeping barrel nut (28B) in position. Place a curve arm (6--two-hole
end) on the OUTSIDE of the body. Align the three pieces over the barrel nut [side bar (3A)
on inside, oval end (6)
in middle, arm
(4A) on outside] then screw the barrel bolt (28A) into nut and loosely tighten.
Repeat for lower hole. Do not tighten barrel bolts firmly until all bolts are in place.
STEP 4: ATTACH OTHER THREE ARMS
Repeat STEP THREE for remaining arms.
STEP 5: HANG TABS
Position two hang tabs (5) at tops of each arm pair, insert barrel nuts/bolts and loosely tighten
.
STEP 6: LEVEL POT RACK ON TABLE
Place assembled rack squarely on table and adjust all parts to be certain they are level and straight. Then tighten all bolts
firmly.
STEP 7: PLACE BRACKETS
Position brackets on pot rack as shown in illustration
STEP 8: LAY GRID PANELS ACROSS BRACKETS
Position panels side by side in pot rack as shown in illustration. Each panel is 22” x 6”. Place 6” bar side DOWN to run parallel
with brackets thus minimizing side slippage while in use.
TOOLS NEEDED:
Provided: Installation hardware (anchors, bolt hooks, screw hooks, S-hooks)
You will need: tape measure, pencil, drill and ½” drill bit, hammer and nail
STEP 1: LOCATION
Decide where you want to place your pot rack. We suggest placement over an island or near your stove and food preparation
area. Also consider the height of the ceiling where the pot rack will hang. (See STEP 2 below.)
On the ceiling, mark two points 20-3/4” apart where the top of rack arms (at hang tabs) will attach to ceiling bolt hooks. Then
tap a small nail through each mark to be certain a joist is not in the way. (NOTE: because your pot rack includes super-strong
new-technology anchors, you DO NOT need to locate and bolt to ceiling joists. See more info under STEP 3 below.)
STEP 2: HEIGHT
What is the ideal height for your pot rack? Decide who will be the primary cook using the pot rack. The bottom of your longest
pan (usually a 10” or 12” skillet) should be easily reachable, about 6 inches above the cook’s head. Make sure the cook can
also reach the shortest pots.
This pot rack is designed for a 9-foot ceiling, a common height in many kitchens. If your ceiling is HIGHER than 9 feet, you
may want to consider adding chain to lower the rack to the ideal height. (Buy chain at a hardware store or contact our Cus-
tomer Service department.)
.
If your ceiling is LOWER than 9 feet, hanging pots may interfere with views through the kitchen, therefore you may want to
consider our Low-Ceiling Arms (a
RACK IT UP!
accessory) to raise the rack another 9-10”.
STEP 3: INSTALL DRYWALL ANCHORS
First, here’s important information about our anchors.
RACK IT UP’s
new-technology DRYWALL anchors eliminate the need
to bolt your pot rack to a ceiling joist. The steel anchors are very strong and when installed in 5/8” drywall (standard ceiling
code in modern houses) each drywall anchor holds about 200 lbs. Two anchors hold about 400 lbs., many times the weight
you will likely hang from your pot rack.
Since you no longer have to consider the location of a joist which usually determines where your rack has to be installed, you
can position it in drywall anywhere you want!
