3.1.7.1 Wood-Framed Wall Mounting
When mounting the enclosure on a wood-framed wall, it is recommended that pressure-treated
plywood with a minimum thickness of 0.75-inch (19.0 cm) be used as a backer board. The
backer must be firmly secured to the interior framing of the wall. Use the following procedure
to install the standard mounting bracket on a wood-framed wall:
1 Mount the plywood backer (not-provided) on the wall and firmly secure it to the wall’s
interior studs.
2 Hold the enclosure mounting bracket in position for installation on the plywood backer as
shown in Figure 3-3. The end with the V-notch should be at the top.
3 Mark the location of the mounting bracket’s two mounting holes on the plywood backer.
4 Drill a 3/16inch hole in the backer board at each of the locations marked in step 3.
5 Locate the two 3/8 x 1-1/2-inch lag screws (provided with the enclosure) and place a 3/8
inch lock washer and 3/8 inch flat washer on each screw.
6 Secure the mounting bracket to the plywood using the screws and washers prepared in step
5. Tighten screws until bracket is securely attached to the plywood.
