Installation Notes
- Recommended two people to lift and install the mantel.
- If you are unable to find studs, you need to open the wall and add wood studs or 16 gauge metal studs if in the non-combustible zone.
- A minimum of 3 studs are required to safely install a 5 ft. mantel. Minimum of 4 studs for 6 ft. mantels. Using 2 1/2” sharp point screws, attach the mounting bracket to studs with two screws per stud. See Figure 1 on page 5 for details.
