MANTEL DEPTH
1. Attach the nailing tabs to the corner posts
using the 2 sheet metal screws sup-
plied. Secure through the centre of the
top and bottom slots in the nailing tab
and then through the existing holes in
the corner posts.
If there are no existing holes, follow
these instructions:
Position the nailing tab so that the front
face is offset with the front edge of
the corner post (approx. ½"). Centre
the nailing tab vertically on the corner
post.
Figure 53a.
Drill through the centre of the top and
bottom slots in the nailing tab. Secure
using the two sheet metal screws sup-
plied. This allows the nailing tab to slide
back and forth for desired framing.
Figure 53b.
2. To determine the fi nal location of the nailing tab
you must fi rst determine the thickness of your fi nishing
material (i.e. drywall). This will determine the dimension from
the front edge of the corner post to the nailing tab. Once the
nailing tab is in the desired location, drill through the centre
hole of the nailing tab. Secure with a sheet metal screw*.
