Step 2: Mount Wall Plate(s)
Wood Stud Wall
If possible, mount the wall plates to a wood stud. Use a
stud sensor to locate the stud, clearly marking the outer
edges of the stud.
Pre-drill the upper hole in the center of your stud, and
attach the wall plate temporarily to the wall using M6 x
50mm screw (A), as shown in Diagram D. Use a level to
ensure the wall plate is vertical, then mark the bottom
hole. Remove the wall plate and pre-drill the bottom
hole. Make sure the wall plate is flat against the wall
surface. Attach the wall plate using two M6 x 50mm
screws (A), taking care not to over-tighten.
Subsequent wall plates can be added by inserting tab,
checking vertical, marking, pre-drilling and attaching.
Brick or Concrete Wall
For brick or concrete installations, use a wall plate as
a template and mark two holes at your desired height.
Adjust the wall plate position to be clear of mortar joints.
Use a level to ensure the holes are vertical.
Pre-drill two holes, and insert a Concrete Anchor (B) into
each of the holes flush with the concrete wall surface and
not flush with the surface covering, such as drywall.
Attach the Wall Plate using two M6 x 50mm screws (A),
as shown in Diagram E. Make sure the Wall Plate is flat
against the wall surface. Do not over-tighten screws (A).
Subsequent wall plates can be added by inserting
tab, checking vertical, marking, pre-drilling, inserting
Concrete Anchors (B) and attaching.
CAUTION
Make sure the supporting surface will support
the load limits outlined in the Caution at bottom of
page two. Tighten screws until the Wall Plate is snug flat
against the wall. Do not over tighten screws (A) or (C).
Each screw should be screwed into a wood stud.
CAUTION
Make sure the concrete or brick wall is at least
2.5” thick. Make sure the anchor is seated completely
flush with the concrete surface even if there is another
layer of material, such as drywall. If drywall is over 5/8”
thick custom lag bolts must be used. Concrete must be a
minimum of 2000psi in density.

Drywall
The AVS series can be mounted to drywall. Use a wall
plate as a template and mark two holes at your desired
height. Use a level to ensure the holes are vertical.
Pre-drill two holes, and screw a Drywall Anchor (E) into
each of the holes flush with the drywall surface. Attach
the wall plate using two #8 x 35mm Phillips screws (C)
and washers (D), as shown in Diagram F. Take care not to
over-tighten.
Subsequent wall plates can be added by inserting tab,
checking vertical, marking, pre-drilling, screwing in
Drywall Anchor (E) and attaching.
