Drill holes and insert anchors (G).
Use ceiling plate (A) as a template to mark holes.
Drill four 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth
of 2.5" (64 mm). Insert four anchors (G) in holes
flush with ceiling as shown in figure 3.1.
Place ceiling plate (A) over anchors (G) and secure
with #14 x 2.5" (6 mm x 65 mm) wood screws (B).
Tighten wood screws (B) using 3/8" (10 mm) socket
wrench to firmly attach ceiling plate (A).

• Always attach concrete anchors directly to load-bearing
concrete.
• Never attach concrete anchors to concrete covered with
plaster, drywall, or other finishing material. If mounting
to concrete surfaces covered with a finishing surface is
unavoidable, the finishing surface must be counterbored
as shown below. Be sure concrete anchors do not pull
away from concrete when tightening screws. If plaster/
drywall is thicker than 5/8", custom fasteners must be
supplied by installer. (Not evaluated by UL)
WARNING
• Tighten screws so that ceiling plate is firmly attached,
but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).

Installation to Solid Concrete
• Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard-
ware and components.
