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.
