Mounting the ManaBloc –
Without Mounting Straps
If not using the mounting straps, this
procedure applies:
1. Cut two pieces of lumber (1x4 or ¾"
plywood approximately 3½" wide)
to a length that provides a snug 󶈵t
BETWEEN two studs.
2. The top of the ManaBloc should be
between four feet and six feet from the
󶈶oor (but may be at any height provided
that it maintains accessibility to all of
the ports on the ManaBloc). Make a
mark near the back of the inside of one
stud that would represent the top of
the ManaBloc. With a framing square
or level, mirror the mark on the inside
back of the other stud.
3. Attaching the ManaBloc between the studs:
a. Measure the total length of the ManaBloc.
b. Attach the 󶈵rst (UPPER) 1x4 inside
and 󶈶ush to the back of the studs at a
height where the center of its width is
centered on the marks from Step 2.
1x4s attach at the back,
inside the studs, and the
ManaBloc is centered
between the studs.

c. Attach the remaining (LOWER) 1x4
inside and 󶈶ush to the back of the
studs at a distance below the upper
1x4 that is equal to the length of the
ManaBloc (Step 3a) when measured
from the top of the upper 1x4 to the
bottom of the lower 1x4.

4. CENTER THE MANABLOC IN THE STUD
CAVITY: Attach the ManaBloc to the
1x4s with four ½" - ¾" drywall screws.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
5. Continue to Step 5 on the previous
page to 󶈵nish the installation.
Mounting the ManaBloc –
Surface Mount
1. A suitable base for the ManaBloc can
be constructed from a section of ½"
or thicker plywood that is a minimum
22½" wide and slightly longer than
the overall length of the ManaBloc.
2. Securely attach a length of 2x4, or
other suitable framing material with
a thickness of 1½" and about 3½"
wide, on the left and right sides of the
mounting base running the full length
of the ManaBloc. The 2x4s will be
used to secure the distribution lines
at the correct height as they exit the
ManaBloc. (Support clamps not to
exceed 6" spacing from end of ports.)

3. Attach the mounting base to the
structure in a suitable location (see
“ManaBloc Location” on page 25).
The base should be mounted so the
top of the ManaBloc is between four
feet and six feet from the 󶈶oor but
may be at any height provided that
the height maintains accessibility to
all the ports on the ManaBloc.
