If mounting table to a steel stud wall, there are two options. See option 2 on next page.

Install wood blocking design into steel studs as described below. Install wall base directly into wood

blocking with lag bolts. In existing facilities cut hole in drywall large enough to install blocking design.
A) Make relief cut on 2 – 2×12’s. Starting with right side insert first 2×12 on steel stud stiffening lip and use 4 – 2” #14 flat head wood screws to affix 2×12 to steel web at 34.5″ high. Screw plywood spacer to first 2×12. Insert second 2×12 onto stiffening lip and screw into place. Repeat for left side.

D) Drill two 1/4″ holes 4″ deep at mark hole locations.
E) Secure wall base to wall with two 3/8″ lag bolts (3/8 bolt for backer plate) and washers.
F) Drill four mounting holes for wall base (wood block design). Install remaining bolts and washers.
G) As you tighten all bolts, use level to make sure wall base is flat.

Step 2c: Install wall base for Steel Stud (backer plate kit).
