is designed
to be mounted to one of the following surfaces:
• a sheetrock drywall with a thickness of 1/2" to
5/8" supported by 16" or 24" wood or steel studs;
or
• a bare concrete wall with a minimum thickness of
8" (203mm); or
• a bare 8" x 8" x 16" (203mm x 203mm x 406mm)
concrete block wall;
IMPORTANT ! : The AVSFSS mounting system needs to
be attached to a sheetrock drywall which is supported by
