Step 2: Mount Wall Plate
Wood Stud Wall
The Wall Plate must be mounted to two wood studs. Use
a stud sensor to locate the two studs, clearly marking
the outer edges of the studs (see Diagram B). Use a long
level to ensure the two holes are level at the desired
height.
Pre-drill two upper holes in the center of your studs, and
attach the Wall Plate to the wall using 2 Lag Bolts
(L)
and
Lag Bolt Washers
(I)
(see Diagram B). Do not over-tighten
lag bolts
(L)
. Make sure the Wall Plate is
fl
at against the
wall surface. Using the Wall Plate as template, pre-drill
the bottom 2 holes, and secure using 2 Lag Bolts
(L)
and
2 Lag Bolt Washers
(I)
, taking care not to over-tighten.
Brick or Concrete Wall
Using the Wall Plate as a template, mark four holes
toward the outer edge of the Wall Plate at your desired
height (see Diagram C). Adjust the Wall Plate position to
be clear of mortar joints, keeping in mind that the mount
provides minor horizontal shift along the length of the
Wall Plate. Use a long level to ensure the four holes are
level and at the desired height.
Pre-drill four holes, and insert a Concrete Anchor
(M)
into each of the holes
fl
ush with the concrete wall
surface and not
fl
ush with the surface covering, such as
drywall.
Attach the Wall Plate using 4 Lag Bolts
(L)
and Lag Bolt
Washers
(I)
(see Diagram C). Make sure the Wall Plate
is
fl
at against the wall surface. Do not over-tighten
Lag Bolts
(L)
.
CAUTION
Make sure the supporting surface will support
the load limits outlined in the Caution at bottom
of page two. Tighten Lag Bolts until the Wall Plate is snug
fl
at against the wall. Do not over tighten Lag Bolts (
L
).
Each Lag Bolt must be located in the center of a wood
stud.
CAUTION
Make sure the concrete or brick wall is at least
3.5” thick. Make sure the anchor is seated completely
fl
ush with the concrete surface even if there is another
layer of material, such as drywall. If drywall is over 5/8”
thick custom lag bolts must be used. Concrete must be
a minimum of 2000psi in density.
