2. Beginning Points
1)
Before you begin the actual installation, use your stud finder and determine the position of all the studs
in the wall directly behind the location of your water feature. Mark each stud.
2)
Then determine where you want the bottom of your water feature to be. This is not the bottom of the
stone but the bottom of the Water Tray that holds the water reserve. This is the lowest point of the
fountain. Mark this point with a small horizontal line (you may want to use a level to insure exact
horizontal).
3)
The next step is to find the vertical center. Mark this vertical line in a few places on the wall. The water
feature will hide these marks when it is completely installed. You should have an intersection of these
two lines that indicate the bottom center of your water feature
. (Reference diagram)
3. Mounting the Water Tray and Back Splash Guard
1)
From the intersection of these lines measure up the wall 52 inches (or 40 inches for Green Slate) and
mark this point. This mark is the bottom of Wall Bracket. You should now have a second intersection
where the vertical centered line intersects the mark for the bottom of the Wall Bracket. The Wall
Bracket is 20 inches long and will be fastened to the wall with the lip on the bottom.
2)
Make sure the studs are marked in the area of the Wall Bracket.
3)
Place the Wall Bracket on the wall with your level in the lip and adjust it until at least one set of holes
lines up with a stud. The Wall Bracket does not have to be exactly in the center of the stone. It can be
shifted to the left or right up to one inch, but no more.
Failure to use at least one wall stud in
mounting your Wall Bracket may result in damage to your wall or the fountain, and may cause
the stone to fall off the wall.
4)
When you have decided the location of the Wall Bracket make sure it is level then mark
ALL
the holes.
5)
You will only need to use 6 of the holes, one set over the stud and four others. Space the other four
holes evenly across the Wall Bracket to support the weight of the stone.
6)
The four holes that do not line up with the stud should be fastened to the wall with the supplied EZ-
Anchors. After determining the location of the four EZ-Anchors pre-drill the holes with a 1/8” bit and
screw them into the wall.
7)
Then, align the Wall Bracket with your EZ-Anchors and screw the pan head screws into the anchors
but
do not tighten
. First double check your level, and then tighten.
8)
Once the Wall Bracket is up, pre-drill the two holes over the stud with the same 1/8” bit and screw the
two hex head screws into the stud all the way tight.
4. Mounting the Water Tray and Back Splash Guard
1)
Line the bottom of the Water Tray up with the line you marked earlier as the bottom of the Water Tray.
This line is the lowest point of the water feature.
2)
When the bottom of the tray and the marked line are equal use a level to insure level and mark the four
holes at the top. Before you mark the holes make sure the center of the Water tray is lined up with
your vertical center line. Now remove the Water Tray from the wall.
