Each Adjustable Stud Bracket (FSB-B1-AL
or FSB-B1-AS) includes the following:
*MOUNTING TO STEEL STUDS (MIN. 18 GA)
Although these brackets are engineered for both
wood and steel studs, Trueform strongly
recommends outfing the wall with wood studs
when possible. Therefore, mounng screws are not
included for steel stud applicaons.
If brackets must be installed on steel studs, we
recommend using 5/16” hex-head sheet metal
screws. Also note that applicable steel studs should
be no thinner than 18 gauge.
MOUNTING TO WOOD STUDS
Complete mounng hardware is included for wood
stud applicaons.
Trueform Adjustable Stud Brackets can be mounted to either wood studs or steel studs*.

Step 1. Installing the Stud Mount (Part B1)
Each Adjustable Stud Bracket has 2 parts:
It is important to note that brackets must be mounted to wood (or steel*) studs and must be
perfectly leveled, both independently and to each other. Do not measure from the floor when
leveling brackets since the floor may not be level. *See previous page for details on steel studs.
1. Mark the stud wall where you would like the center of the sink to be.
2. Determine the desired finished sink height and mark the stud 7” below. For example, a finished height of 34”
(ADA height) results in a mark at 27” from the finished floor. This is your B1 Installaon Height (B1-Height).
3. Set your laser level to the B1-Height.
4. Mark lateral locaons along the wall that meet the following criteria:
Maximum distance between a bracket (center of horizontal arm) and an unsupported edge of the sink
(le or right side) does not exceed 6“
Maximum distance between any two brackets (center of horizontal arm), or between a bracket
and a wall cleat supporng the le or right edges of the sink, does not exceed 32”
Minimum distance between a bracket (center of horizontal arm) and a sink drain locaon is 4”
Note that you may need to add studs in the above locaons; however, doubling them up is not necessary.
5. Clamp Part B1 to an appropriate mounng stud so that the top of the horizontal arm meets the B1-Height
and the front face of the vercal length is flush with the front face of the stud. Note that B1 can be mounted
in an “upside-down” orientaon should condions require it.
6. Use your torpedo level to ensure the horizontal arm is level.
7. When Part B1 is level and at the appropriate height, run the 5/16” drill bit in reverse at each hole to
create an index which is perfectly centered in each hole.
8. Create holes for the 5/16” x 1-1/2” hex head wood screws using the 3/16” drill bit.
9. Drive the hex head wood screws into the studs using the 1/2" socket.
10. Repeat steps 5-9 unl all parts B1 have been installed.
B1: Stud Mount
AL or AS: Supporng Arm
The arm will arrive to you in one of two
lengths and is determined by the
countertop depth of your sink:
AL(Long): Counter depths 20 1/2” - 24”
AS(Short): Counter depths 17” - 20 1/2”
B1 comes in a single size and must be
installed such that brackets will be both
level and spaced across the mounting wall
properly. B1 can be installed with the
vertical stud mounting plate oriented
either upward or downward.

Step 3. Cleang & Seng the Sink
Step 2. Aaching & Seng the Supporng Arm (AS or AL)
1. Cleang is oponal but recommended. Once the wall has been closed-up, you may install horizontal cleang
on the back wall (and side walls, if applicable) between brackets at 1” below the height of the finished sink.
Ensure the distance between any side wall cleat and a bracket does not exceed 32”.
2. When the heights and measurements of all components are verified, apply silicone to all contact
points (top of swivel feet and top of each cleat [if applicable]). The sink is now ready to be set.
3. When seng the sink, the swivel feet will make contact with a built-up surface underneath the front of the
sink apron (either by plywood or concrete). Note that your sink will arrive with this surface already prepared.
4. Ensure that all all swivel feet are making contact with the underside of the sink, and use the 9/16” socket to
adjust the swivel feet height as necessary to level the sink.
1. Aach Parts AS or AL slightly less than hand-ght to Part B1 using the 5/16”-18 nuts and bolts so you can
adjust their final locaon.
2. Set the distance from the center of the swivel feet to the finished wall, which is determined by subtracng
1-3/4” from the overall counter depth.
3. Use the 1/2" socket and 1/2” box wrench to ghten the hardware. Due to the tolerance between the bolts
and the slots, it is important to apply slight downward pressure on the swivel foot during this step. The top
surfaces of Parts B1 sand AL or AS should be flush.
4. When all brackets are complete, the swivel feet should be level with each other and approximately 2 1/4”
below the finished sink height when the leveling screws are midway between the top and boom posions
with room for adjustment in both direcons.

The following instrucons are for our indoor products sealed with our topical sealer.
Now that your concrete is installed, you'll want to properly care for it. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your concrete
looking beauful for years to come:
Avoid dragging sharp, hard objects across the concrete surface to prevent scratching. Minor white scratches should be
expected throughout the piece from use over me. Applying Pledge every now and then can fill in minor scratches and give
your pieces a nice sheen.
Avoid using or leaving acidic foods and beverages (lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, wine, soda, tomatoes, bananas,
pumpkins/gourds, etc.) perfumes and colognes, cleaners that contain vinegar or citric acids, and other harsh chemicals or
solvents (ammonia, acetone, hydrogen peroxide, etc.) on the concrete surface. Clean or remove these substances as soon as
possible as they may “eat” through the sealer (which can leave a light hazing) and could possibly expose or stain your
concrete. There are, of course, other items and products that may damage your sealer. We have tested against the most
typical stain agents, but please use standard precauons to keep your concrete protected.
Avoid using abrasive soaps, cleansers, or scrubbing pads that can wear down the sealer. We recommend using mild,
non-abrasive, non-ammonia, non-citric acid, non-vinegar, non-bleach soaps and cleaners.
Please use standard care and precauons with your concrete products. Concrete is extremely durable; however, it is not
invincible. Excessive force can do damage to your piece.
