Step 2
aluminum sleeve (G) as shown at left. Start by locating two of the #8-32 x 3/8"
long flat head phillips screws (I) and two #8-32 serrated flange nuts (J). Slide
the 6" sleeve (G) into the upper support tube (F). Using a phillips screwdriver,
loosely install the 6" sleeve (G) using the two flat phillips screws (I) and serrated
F
flange nuts (J). Insert the lower support tube (H) onto the exposed end of the
sleeve (G) not attached to the upper support tube (F). Secure lower support
tube (H) using the remaining two flat head phillips screws (I) and serrated flange
nuts(J) with a phillips screw driver. Securely tighten all screws at this point.

Use a stud sensor to locate the framing member (wood stud) near the desired
Step 3
mounting position. Using a sharp device, such as a drill bit or ice pick, penetrate
the drywall to verify the true center of the stud.
Δ Note: The framing members are typically 1-1/2" wide.
Once you have confirmed your shelf mounting position; start by marking your
Step 4
wall plate mounting hole positions. Using the diagram at left you can position
your mounting holes easily and accurately. Positioning of holes can start at the
top (as shown) or bottom. Mark all SIX mounting holes. We recommend that you
verify stud center on both upper and lower wall plate holes.
Drill all six holes, 3" deep using a 1/4" drill bit.
Step 5
Δ Caution: Drilling oversized holes may cause lag screws (C) to pull out.
Undersized holes may cause breakage of the lag screws during installation.
Install the UPPER wall plate (A) using each of the three large flat washers (B)
Step 6
and lag screws (C). Position upper wall plate as pictured at left. Using a 1/2"
�� ������
socket wrench, install the lag screws (C) through the large washers (B) into the
wall plate (A). It is important that all three lag screws are used and tightened
down. TIP: Use a small level to insure the wall plate is secured in a level vertical
plane. You can use a straight edge or the assembled support tubes and sleeves
as a straight edge for better alignment.
