Installation to Triple Wood Stud Wall
Wall plate (AA) can be mounted to three studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud finder to locate the
edges of the studs. Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended. Based on their
edges, draw a vertical line down each stud’s center. Place wall plate on wall as a template or use
the included part (DD). Level plate, and mark the center of the nine mounting holes. Make sure that
the mounting holes are on the stud center lines. Drill nine 1/4"
(
6 mm
)
diameter holes 70 mm deep.
Make sure that the wall plate is level, secure it using nine bolts (M) and nine metal washers (L) as
shown in figure 1.1.

Overtightening can damage the screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
