Installation to Wood Stud Wall
Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the stud. Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended.
Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each stud center. Place wall plate ( B) on wall as a template. Level,
and mark the center of the three mounting holes. Make sure that the mounting holes are on the stud center lines.
Drill three 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2.5" (64 mm) deep. Fasten two #14 x 2.5" wood screws ( O) leaving 1/4" of
thread exposed as shown in Figure 4.1.
Hook wall plate ( B) onto exposed #14 x 2.5" wood screws (O). Secure using one #14 x 2.5" wood screws (O) as
shown in figure 4.2
Skip to Step 5.
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all
attached hardware and components.
• Tighten wood screws so that wall plate is firmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud. The use of an "edge to edge" stud finder
is highly recommended.
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs. Install-
ers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations
