Mount wall strips at
studs where possible.
Mount wall strips only
to walls fastened to
the building structure
at the ceiling as well
as the floor.
See detail “A”
Set bottom of wall strip
directly to floor, where
possible, for maximum
load support.
Center-to-Center spacing:
Nominal component width,
e.g., 24”, 30”, 36”, 42”,
48” or 60”

Into concrete, cement block or brick:
o
#8 x 1
” flat head sheet metal screw with screw anchor.
o
3/16” x 1
” Tapcon™ or other brand concrete anchor screw. Must be used with recommended
(5/32”) masonry drill bit for pilot hole.
Note: Refer to fastener manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations for application, load rating and pilot
hole size. It is the installer’s responsibility to determine and select the most appropriate fastener. Compatico does
not assume any liability for their use.
Warning!: Failure to properly attach
wall hanger strips to a structural wall
and, where possible, to rest wall
hanger strips directly on the floor
may cause dislodgement of wall strip
and/or attached components causing
personal injury and/or property
damage.
Location and installation:
Note: Wall hanger strip must be
secured to wall with appropriate
fastener every 6”.
1. Position the first wall hanger
strip at the required
location, per furniture layout
drawing. Note that the end
with the hole located closest
to the end is the top. Attach
at top with fastener.
2. Use a level to ‘plumb’ wall
hanger strip; mark hole
locations on wall through
holes in wall hanger strip.
3. Drill holes, at each marking, in
wall according to fastener
manufacturer’s
recommendation.
4. Insert fastener and complete
attachment of wall hanger strip.
5. Measure or use a spacer to
locate and mark the next wall
hanger strip location.
6.
Repeat steps 2 –5 for
remainder of wall hanger strips.
Helpful Hints:
•
Spacers may be used to
position subsequent, sequential wall strips. Cut spacers to 1” less than nominal component dim/-
1/32”, e.g., 47” (48” -1”) +/- 1/32”. Be sure to keep ends square.
•
Installers are responsible to install wall strips at a uniform height and level relative to one another. Often,
if a drop ceiling is present, their perimeter track has been installed with a laser level. Because floor levels
vary, especially cement floors, the ceiling tile track may be a better reference for locating wall strip’s
vertical position. Installer must determine best method for keeping wall strips level because their location
is critical to the subsequent outcome of the furniture installation
.
