(Metal Stud Accessory Kit ACC415 Required
• Drywall must be 1/2" (13 mm) or thicker, and metal stud must be 24 gauge or thicker.
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all
attached hardware and components.
Wall plate (AA) can be mounted to two studs that are 16" (406 mm) apart. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of
1
the studs. Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line
down each stud's center. Place wall plate on wall as a template. The top mounting slots should be located above
the desired screen center as indicated by dimension X in figure 1.1 and chart below. Level plate, and mark the
center of the four mounting holes. Make sure that the mounting holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill four 1/2"
(13 mm) holes through drywall and metal studs. Note: It may be necessary to drill 5/32" pilot holes prior to drilling
1/2" (13 mm) holes.
Refer to instruction sheet included with Peerless accessory kit ACC415 for metal studs to install togglers.
