Drywall Installation
Rough-in before drywall
is up
The roughing-in procedure depends on whether or not drywall is up at installation time.
If roughing-in can be done before drywall is up, see Figure 10.
Figure 10. Mounting Wall Plate and Instrument with Bracket Mounting Kit.
The drywall kit for installations where roughing-in can be done before drywall is up
consists of:
A. No. 6-32 × one-inch long flat-head steel screw (2)
B. No. 10 × 3/4-inch long type "A" hex head screw
C. Connecting tube -- 9-1/2-inches long
D. Drywall mounting bracket
E. Locator
F. Tube retainer (2)
G. Coil
H. Copper tubing -- 8 feet (2.4 m)
J. Wire Tie ("Twist-ems")
K. Air Link
L. Plug-in adapter
This kit is designed to be used on metal studs (metal 2 × 4s), but can also be used on
conventional wooden 2 × 4s. The quick mounting bracket (D) provided with this kit
permits it to be fastened securely to the stud with a single self-tapping sheet metal
screw. As shown in Figure 11, the bracket can be mounted on either side of the stud.
Ideally, the self-tapping screw should always be driven through the appropriate flange on
the bracket so that the screw point bears against or pierces the solid (as opposed to
open) side of the stud. However, if the situation requires it, the screw can be driven
through the opposite flange and into the lip on the open side of the stud.
