Table 7. Securing the wood support to the wood studs using lag screws

Lag screw

Screw size: 6.3 mm (0.25 in.) or nominal thread

diameter

Length: 60 mm (2.5 in.) minimum

Use a bubble level to assure that the wall mount plate is mounted squarely. Use six

wood screws to attach the wall mount plate to the wall. Center the wall mount plate

vertically on the wood support. Install the wood screws directly into the wood

support without pre-drilling a hole. Do not use soap or other lubricant on the screws

during installation. See “Fastener types” on page 27 for more information.

After installation, make sure that the screw heads are flush or below the outer

surface of the wall mount plate. Check to make sure that you firmly and securely

attach the wall mount plate to the wall.

Method 2: Drywall surface

Use this method if you cannot make construction changes to the wall. This method

provides a safe attachment of the unit to the wall. However, there is risk that the

wall mount plate and unit might become loose if it is struck with a high force. The

drywall must be at least 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) thick to use this method. Use a bubble

level to assure that you mount the wall mount plate squarely.

Install two ″Medium Duty″ or ″Heavy Duty″ fasteners. Use fasteners, which are

designed for drywall, in one side of the wall mounting plate B, as shown in

Table 8 on page 26. Depending on the type of fastener, portions of the fastener may

need to be installed into the wall first. You may possibly thread them through the

screw holes in the wall mount plate. The recommended types of drywall fasteners

are: self-drilling drywall anchor, hollow wall anchor, toggle bolt, self-drilling drywall

toggle bolt, and plastic toggle bolt. Use two wood screws A, as shown in Table 8

on page 26, to attach the wall mount plate to the stud. Install the Wood Screws

directly into the center of the stud without pre-drilling a hole. Do not use soap or

other lubricant on the screws during installation. See “Fastener types” on page 27

fastener descriptions and pictures at the end of this section for more information.
