Crestron MMK-1000L & WMKM-1000L Mud Mount Kits
Mud Mount Kits: MMK-1000L &
WMKM-1000L
Description
Mud Mount Kits are the preferred mounting option for the Series 1000 wall mounted
touchpanels when cutouts made for the touchpanel are too large. These kits fill in the
gaps with additional plastering and provide the support to hide large irregularities in
the touchpanel cutout.
There are two Mud Mount Kits. The MMK-1000L is a pre-construction accessory.
Pre-construction refers to framed walls prior to hanging drywall. This accessory is
designed for use with the Pre-Construction Mount Kit (PMK-1000L) or Back Box
Kit (BB-1000L).
The WMKM-1000L is a post-construction kit. Post-construction refers to framed
walls with drywall hung. This accessory is designed with a mounting plate so that it
can be placed anywhere on a wall without the support from a stud.
NOTE: If necessary, consult the latest revision of the Series 1000 Operations Guide
(Doc. 5813) for a complete list of mounting options.
Supplied Hardware
The MMK-1000L consists of three parts. These parts produce an assembly that
attaches to the PMK-1000L or BB-1000L. The WMKM-1000L consists of the same
three parts that make up the MMK-1000L as well as one mounting plate. The
mounting plate is the part that provides the necessary support for post-construction
applications.

Installation
This section provides an installation procedure for each Mud Mount Kit. The
procedure for the MMK-1000L starts below and the “WMKM-1000L Procedure”
starts on page 4.
MMK-1000L Procedure
The procedure in this section provides the necessary steps for the assembly of the
MMK-1000L to either the PMK-1000L or BB-1000L. It is assumed that the
PMK-1000L or BB-1000L has been secured to the stud according to the procedures
in the latest revisions of their respective Installation Guides (Doc. 6061 and Doc.
6060, respectively). Also, it is assumed that drywall is in place and a square cutout
for the touchpanel is made in the drywall measuring 4½ inches wide (114 mm) x 4½
inches high (114 mm).
Complete the steps in the order provided. The only tools or materials required and
not supplied are a drywall saw or equivalent, four standard drywall screws, #2
Phillips screwdriver, a level, and tools/material to apply drywall joint compound.
NOTE: The illustrations in this procedure show the installation of the MMK-1000L
with the PMK-1000L. Even though the illustrations only show the PMK-1000L, they
are identical for the BB-1000L as well.
1. Pass a fastener plate through the opening and align its two center holes
with the top two pins on the PMK-1000L. Verify that the pins on the
fastener plate are not between the fastener plate and the PMK-1000L.
Refer to the illustration after this step for visual guidance.

2. Slide a push-on fastener over each of the top pins on the
PMK-1000L (or BB-1000L). Do not push the fasteners all the way
down onto the pins. Slide them on enough to keep the fastener plate
and mounting plate as one fastener/mounting plate assembly. This
allows for minor mounting adjustments.
3. Use the second fastener plate and repeat steps 1 and 2 using the lower
two PMK-1000L pins.
NOTE: When installing into the PMK-1000L, verify that the 18 AWG bus wire
securing the cables for the touchpanel remain attached.
4. Verify that the square cutout in the drywall measures 4½ inches wide
(114 mm) x 4½ inches high (114 mm) and is level.
5. Insert the symmetrical mud ring plate into the opening, as shown in the
illustration after this step.

6. When the mud ring plate is in position, bend the top two flanges of the
plate upward and the bottom two flanges downward.
• If mounting into the PMK-1000L, bend the flanges
approximately 90 degrees.
• If mounting into the BB-1000L, bend the flanges back as far
as they can go.
7. Use four standard drywall screws (of adequate length) to secure the
mud ring plate to the rest of the assembly. The screws pass through the
Installation Guide – DOC. 6062 Mud Mount Kits: MMK-1000L & WMKM-1000L •3

Mud Mount Kits Crestron MMK-1000L & WMKM-1000L
clearance holes in the PMK-1000L (or BB-1000L) and are secured in
the extruded holes of the fastener plates.
8. Verify that the mud ring plate is level.
NOTE: Do not over tighten screws. Doing so may over-dimple or rip the mud ring
plate.
9. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver and tighten the drywall screws by hand
so that they slightly dimple into the holes in the mud ring plate.
10. Apply drywall joint compound as needed to finish the cutout.
11. When dry, the Series 1000 touchpanel can be installed using the four
tapped holes in the PMK-1000L. Refer to the latest revision of the
Series 1000 Operations Guide (Doc. 5813) for details.
WMKM-1000L Procedure
The procedure in this section provides the necessary steps for the assembly and
installation of the WMKM-1000L into a wall. Complete the steps in the order
provided. The only tools or materials required and not supplied are a drywall saw or
equivalent, a level, four standard drywall screws, #2 Phillips screwdriver, and
tools/material to apply drywall joint compound.
1. Insert the two pins on one fastener plate into the top two outer holes on
the mounting plate, as shown in the illustration after this step.

2. Slide a push-on fastener over each pin on the top fastener plate. Do not
push the fasteners all the way down onto the pins. Slide them on
enough to keep the fastener plate and mounting plate as one
fastener/mounting plate assembly. This allows for minor mounting
adjustments.
3. Use the second fastener plate and repeat steps 1 and 2 on the lower part
of the mounting plate.
4. Locate an area on the wall that is free of miscellaneous wiring and
studs.
5. Make a small hole near the middle of the designated site; verify that the
location is suitable.
NOTE: Make the cutout as level as possible. The mounting plate allows for only
minor leveling adjustments.
6. Use the drywall saw or equivalent to produce a level, square cutout in
the drywall that measures 4½ inches wide (114 mm) x 4½ inches high
(114 mm).
7. Insert the symmetrical mud ring plate into the opening, as shown in the
illustration after this step.

drywall. Verify that the fastener plates are between the mounting plate
and the drywall.
9. When the fastener/mounting plate assembly is in position, bend the top
two flanges of the mud ring upward (approximately 90 degrees) and the
bottom two flanges downward (approximately 90 degrees). Refer to the
illustration after this step.
NOTE: Fastener/mounting plate assembly will have slight play; this is normal. It
allows for minor adjustments to the touchpanel during installation.

10. Use four standard drywall screws (of adequate length) to secure the
plate to the fastener/mounting plate assembly. The screws pass through
the tapped holes in the mounting plate and are secured to the extruded
holes of the fastener plates.
11. Verify that the plate is level before tightening.
NOTE: Do not over tighten screws. Doing so may over-dimple or rip the plate.
12. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver and tighten the drywall screws by hand
so that they slightly dimple into the holes in the mud ring plate.

13. Run the necessary cable for the touchpanel and secure it behind the
drywall.
14. Apply drywall joint compound as needed to finish the cutout. Avoid
covering the 4 tapped mounting holes.
15. When dry, the 1000 Series touchpanel can be installed using the four
tapped holes in the mounting plate. Refer to the latest revision of the
Series 1000 Operations Guide (Doc. 5813) for details.
