Installing the wall plate
(wood stud)
If you are installing this mounting system in brick
(concrete), proceed to step 2.
CAUTION: Avoid drilling near electrical wiring and
water pipes. The mounting system must be attached to
a weight bearing wall and must be installed directly onto
the center of the wood studs. Failure to observe all safety
precautions can result in serious physical injury and/or
property damage. Consult a professional installer or call
customer service if you have any questions.
CAUTION: Wood studs must be no samller than 2 x 4 in.
(5 x 10.16 cm) in size.
CAUTION: Gypsum board on masonry wall surface
should be maximum 3/8 in. (10 mm) thick.
□ Use a commercially-available stud  nder to
locate the stud centers in the wall. Studs are
usually spaced 16 in. (40.64 cm) apart.
□ Use the wall plate (A) as a template to mark
the installation holes. Use the bubble level (1)
on the wall plate to ensure it is level.
□ Use a 5/32 in. (4 mm) bit to drill 2.2 in. (55
