Plan your Installation
■ Install the rst stud at the starting edge of the desired
coverage area to act as a guide. Drill a hole through the
stud and into the wall surface. Follow masonry screw
manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation. For best
results use a hammer drill and masonry bit.
NOTE: For extra hold, you may choose to put
construction adhesive on the stud before attaching it to
the wall.
■ Secure the stud to the wall by placing ¹⁄4” (6.3 mm) x 2³⁄4”
(6.9 cm) masonry screws every 18” (45.72 cm).
