U.S.P.S. APPROVED
Installing Mailboxes on Spreader & Standard Post
Thank you for selecting Salsbury’s 4850 heavy duty rural mailbox.
This instruction sheet is for installing 4850 heavy duty rural mailboxes on a 2-
wide, 3-wide or 4-wide spreader and a standard mailbox post. A different
instruction sheet is available for installing 4850 heavy duty rural mailboxes
on a 5-wide spreader. Other installation instructions are available for
installing the mailboxes and spreaders on a modern decorative mailbox post,
mounting a single mailbox on a decorative or standard mailbox post,
mounting a newspaper holder, and mounting the post in a concrete footing.
When you install a curbside or roadside mailbox, make sure that it is easily
accessible to the mail carrier. By regulation it should be 41” to 45” from the
ground or street surface up to the inside floor of the mailbox. The door
should be set back 6” to 8” back from the front face of the curb or the road
edge. However, you should check with your local postmaster to ensure that
the mailbox is installed according to local regulations.
4882 2-Wide Spreader
All hardware to attach the spreader to the standard mailbox post is included
with the spreader. To attach the spreader to the standard mailbox post,
install four (4) 5/16”-18 X 1” long hex flange head bolts through the four (4)
center square holes of the spreader and through the four (4) tapped holes on
the top plate of the standard mailbox post. Cover the hex flange head bolts
with cap plugs.
All hardware to attach the mailboxes to the spreader is included with the
spreader. To attach a mailbox, open the front door of the mailbox and install
four (4) 5/16”-18 x 1-3/4” long carriage bolts through the four (4) square
holes in the inside floor of the mailbox, through four (4) 5/8” nylon spacers
(thread onto bolt), and through the four (4) corresponding square holes in top
of the spreader. Install 5/16” flat washers and 5/16”-18 hex nuts on the ends
of the four (4) bolts protruding below the bottom of the spreader. Repeat
these steps for the other mailbox. Installation is now complete. Additional
hardware provided is not needed and may be discarded.
4883 3-Wide Spreader
All hardware to attach the spreader to the standard mailbox post is included
with the post. To attach the spreader to the standard mailbox post requires
simultaneously attaching the center mailbox to the spreader and to the
standard post. Start by opening the front door of the center mailbox and
install four (4) 5/16”-18 X 2” long pan head bolts through the four (4) square
holes in the inside floor of the center mailbox, through four (4) 5/8” nylon
spacers (thread onto bolt), through the four (4) center square holes of the
spreader, and through the four (4) tapped holes on the top plate of the
standard mailbox post.
All hardware to attach the remaining two mailboxes to the spreader is
included with the spreader. To attach an additional mailbox, open the front
door of the mailbox and install four (4) 5/16”-18 x 1-3/4” long carriage bolts
through the four (4) square holes in the inside floor of the mailbox, through
four (4) 5/8” nylon spacers (thread onto bolt), and through the four
corresponding square holes in top of the spreader. Install 5/16” flat washers
and 5/16”-18 hex nuts on the ends of the four (4) bolts protruding below the
bottom of the spreader. Repeat these steps for the other mailbox.
Installation is now complete.
4884 4-Wide Spreader
To install the 4-wide spreader, follow the instructions for the “4882 2-Wide
Spreader” and attach an additional mailbox at each end of the spreader.
