How to Attach Your Pot Rack to the Ceiling
TOOLS NEEDED:
Provided: Installation hardware (anchors, bolt hooks, screw hooks, S-hooks)
You will need: tape measure, pencil, drill and ½" drill bit, hammer and nail
STEP 1: LOCATION
Decide where you want to place your pot rack. Also consider the height of the ceiling where the pot rack will hang.
(See STEP 2 below.)
On the ceiling, mark two points 20-3/4" apart where the top of rack arms (at hang tabs) will attach to ceiling bolt hooks. Then
tap a small nail through each mark to be certain a joist is not in the way. (NOTE: because your pot rack includes super-strong
new-technology anchors, you DO NOT need to locate and bolt to ceiling joists. See more info under STEP 3 below.)
STEP 2: HEIGHT
What is the ideal height for your pot rack? Decide who will be the primary cook using the pot rack. The bottom of your longest
pan (usually a 10" or 12" skillet) should be easily reachable, about 6 inches above the cook's head. Make sure the cook can
also reach the shortest pots.
This pot rack is designed for a 9-foot ceiling, a common height in many kitchens. If your ceiling is HIGHER than 9 feet, you
may want to consider adding chain to lower the rack to the ideal height. (Buy chain at a hardware store or contact our Custom-
er Service department.)
If your ceiling is LOWER than 9 feet, hanging pots may interfere with views through the kitchen, therefore you may want to
consider our Low-Ceiling Arms (a RACK IT UP! accessory) to raise the rack another 9-10".
STEP 3: INSTALL DRYWALL ANCHORS—DO NOT TEST TOGGLE! ONE TIME USE ONLY!!!
RACK IT UP!'s drywall togglers eliminate the need to bolt your pot rack to a stud. The steel anchors are very strong and when
installed in drywall each drywall anchor holds about 200 lbs. Two anchors hold about 400 lbs., many times the weight you will
likely hang from your pot rack.
INSTALL IN WOOD
If you need to install one or both sides of your rack in wood, use one or two of the wood screw hooks screws (20) included.
See back page of booklet under Step 1.
PAINTABLE Want a different color? The finish on this pot rack can be spray painted any color. We recommend Rustoleum
"Hammered" colors for their metal-like finishes, however any quality spray-can paint may be used. See a paint retailer for
guidance.
CLEANING
Your pot rack has a durable powder coat finish designed to provide years of protection. Cleaning is done easily using soap and
a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
