Step 2 - Option 2: Installing on a solid concrete or concrete block wall*
Note: Mount the wall plate directly onto the concrete surface.
1 At the wall height you determined in the previous step, align the wall plate template (R) against the wall, make
sure that it is level, then tape it to the wall. Use a pencil to mark the lag bolt locations (2), then remove the wall
plate template.
2 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3" (75 mm) using a 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter masonry drill bit.
3 Insert concrete wall anchors (F) into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure that the anchors are seated
flush with the concrete surface.
4 Align the wall plate with the anchors. Place washers (E) over the screw holes in the wall plate, insert lag bolts (D)
through the washers, then tighten the lag bolts only until the washers are pulled firmly against the wall plate.
CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage. DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (D).
