INSTALLATIONS REQUIRING ASSEMBLY TO
BE SECURED TO WALL
1  Some codes
require that assembly must be installed securely to
walk Remove baseboard. Baseboard will prevent proper instal-
lation of mantel. Baseboard must be altered to fit mantel.
2.
Mantel must be attached to either a wall stud or wall anchor. Use
:37" gauge stnp to determine correct height from floor to location
of mounting strips (sec Figure 9). Use
a level to
ensure 11101111t-
ing
strip is evenly balanced (see Figure 9). Adjust accordingly.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to balance mounting strips with a level
could result in uneven surfaces on fully assembled mantel.
3.
If predrilled holes of mounting strip
line up
with wall studs,
fasten mounting strip to wall with 2" screws. If
predrilled holes
of mounting strip do not line up with wall studs, drill new
holes in mounting strip or attach to wall with
wall anchors
(see step 4)
4. To use wall
anchors, drill hole at marked location
using 5/16"
drill bit. Fold wall anchor (see Figure
10),
and insert (wings
first) into hole. Tap anchor flush into wall.
For thin
walls (1/2"
or less), insert
red key into wall anchor and push to "pop" open
anchor wings (see Figure II).
IMPORTANT: Do not hammer
key! For thick walls (over 112" thick) or solid walls, do not
pop open wings.
5. Align predrilled holes in mounting strip with wall anchors.
Attach to wall anchors using 2" screws.
6. After final assembly drill small (1/16") pilot holes through
top
of mantel and into strip to keep nails from bending. Nail the top
of the assembly to the
strip with 1 '/4" finishing nails. Fill nail
holes with wood putty. Touch up paint on painted mantels.
