Wall Mounting, Wallboard or Drywall
When mounting the IND780 on wallboard, drywall or a similar surface, the anchor
should be sized according to the recommended bolt size of 1/4" (6 mm). The
recommended mounting hardware is:
• Four Toggle Bolts, 1/4" (6 mm), minimum length 2-1/2" to 3" depending on
wall thickness, with a pullout force of 900 lb (450 kg)
• Four flat washers, minimum 1/2" (12 mm) outside diameter
Figure 2-12 shows an example of mounting hardware.
Figure 2-12: Sample Mounting Hardware, Wallboard or Drywall
1. Drill a hole through each of the measurements/locations marked while
preparing for wall mounting. Use a bit with the same size bit as anchor
diameter (typically 5/8" (16 mm)). The depth of the hole should penetrate the
wallboard.
2. Clean the holes with a cloth moistened with water.
3. Unthread each toggle bolt and add a 1/4" (6 mm) inside diameter, flat washer
with an outside diameter of 1/2" (12 mm).
4. Push the washers to the inside of the heads of all four bolts.
5. Replace each toggle nut and thread onto each bolt approximately 1"
(25 mm). Insure that the ends of the nut fold toward you when you squeeze
them.
6. Press the toggle nuts through each opening you created in the wall. You
should hear a "click" sound when each snaps open on the other side.
7. Tighten the bolts down until you feel the toggle nut contact the inside of the
wall. Tighten each with a wrench (use a screwdriver for flat/round heads),
approximately two or three full turns or until the toggle nuts are against the
base material on the inside of the wall.
8. Back each bolt out enough to leave space for its head and the flat washer to
engage the top center of one of the slotted holes in the mounting brackets (see
Figure 2-9 and Figure 2-11).
9. Turn the screws, by hand, until they are snug against the mounting plate.
Figure 2-13 shows the nut, washer and bolt installed.
