Assembly Instructions
APPENDIX 1 – Mounting your Murphy Bed to a concrete wall (such as is often found in a basement).
If you have either brick or masonry WITHOUT DRYWALL - We recommend the TAPCON Concrete Screw System, model 3/16” x 2.1/4” flat-head
screw. You can find this product at:
HOME DEPOT: model# 24372, Internet sku# 202516426, store sku# 156942 (this item comes with the drill bit needed)
LOWES: model# 24360, item# 61657 AND you will also need a 4” or longer 5/32 concrete drill bit separately.
** You can watch informational video on installing Tapcon Screws into concrete, brick, or other masonry at:
www.confast.com/articles/install-concrete-screws.aspx
If you have DRYWALL ON TOP OF THE MASONRY – We recommend the TAPCON 3/16” x 2.3/4” concrete anchor.
HOME DEPOT: model# 24310, internet# 100170162, store sku# 155764
LOWES: model# 24310 item #79361
We believe these come with the appropriate 5/32 drill bit.
Installing screws into masonry will require the use of a “hammer drill” to drill the pilot hole – not a normal drill gun – so you may want to start
calling “handy” friends to see if they possess this tool.
When you drill the holes for installation into masonry – you can use the 3 holes in the flange arm as a guide, and otherwise follow the same
instructions as shown on pages 8 and 9.
