Mounting options
Etac Flex has been designed to withstand a maximum user weight of 100 kg (220

capacity. Ensure that you use suitable fixtures.
Screws: Etac recommends the accompanying screw set for mounting on
wood/plywood or concrete walls.
If in doubt about the wall’s load-bearing capacity or the suitability of the
fixtures, an assessment should be carried out by a qualified person.
In the case of other wall materials, or if the loadbearing capacity of the
wall is deemed insufficient for any other reason, the wall can be reinforced
by a qualified person.
**** Mounting on a wall with insufficient load-bearing capacity or unsuitable fixtures poses a danger to the user!
