Selecting the Mounting Hardware
1) Insert a small straw or toothpick into the threaded inserts found on the
back of the flat panel.
2) Use a pencil to mark the depth of the threaded insert on the small straw
or toothpick.
3) Mark the straw or toothpick 1/8" above the depth of the threaded insert,
as shown in Figure 1.
4) Insert the small straw or toothpick into the remaining threaded inserts to
compare verify their depth using the straw or toothpick's 1/8 allowance mark.
5) Locate the correct diameter screw for the threaded insert.
6) Test each size of the screws provided.
The correct screws should thread easily into the mounting point and not
pull out when tension is applied.
If the screw selected is longer than the 1/8" allowance
mark on the small straw or toothpick, as shown in Figure

must not bypass the mark.
