RB100 Recess Box Kit IMPORTANT: This requirement replaces requirement “C” in the MM700 Manual. Before you begin, please verify that all components are included and undamaged. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact MantelMount. Never proceed with missing or damaged parts! Installation with the Recess Box will reduce the maximum size of the Mantle to 12 inches. MantelMount installed with the Recess Box can not extend past a mantel larger than 12 inches.

Please review the different options for installing the Recess Box: Custom Built Wall Studs: New wall studs are installed to fit the exact dimensions of the Recess Box. This requires new drywall as well. The stud opening is 705mm tall and 180mm wide, however the best option is to use the Recess Box as a template when nailing in the studs. The drywall cutout is aligned with the inner opening of the studs, and the flange of the Recess Box covers the cut edge of the drywall.

RECESS BOX KIT - Determine the Vertical Position of the Recess Opening: 9a The image at right shows that the further out a mantle extends, it can interfere with the arc of the lowering TV. MantelMount must be installed a minimum distance above the mantle. This distance is additional to the distance from step 8 in the MM700 Manual. See the chart below for the additional height required above the mantle. This dimension will be used in Installation Step 11a.

12a Locate at least two studs with a stud finder. Locate the center of these studs by using a sharp awl or finish nail poked through the drywall to locate each edge. Lag bolts must be installed into the CENTER of the studs. Find the centers of the studs at both upper and lower locations. The upper Lag Bolts are most important, as they carry more of the weight of MantelMount.

14a Align a Recess Brace {63} to the studs in order to locate the center line onto the Brace. An equal amount of the Brace should extend past each of the studs. 15a Install the Recess Braces onto the Recess Box {61} aligning the center mark to the center of the Recess Box. install Screws {14} from the back and the Lockuts {52} from the front. Tighten Securely. The heads of the Screws will protrude slightly in back and will need to be pressed into the drywall.
PAGE 7
18a Attach the Recess Kit using Lag Bolts {17} and Washers {10} directly into the centers of the studs. Add an additional set of Washers {10} between the Braces {63} and the wall (tape them to the wall beforehand if needed) to compensate for the thickness of the Recess Box flange. The screw heads that attach the Recess Braces to the Recess Box will need to be pressed or tapped into the drywall so that the flange is flush with the wall. ! CAUTION: Do Not overtighten Lag Bolts {17}.
