Spacing
For servicing, leave a minimum of 14" clearance beyond
the system cap. The vertical spacing required is 36" from
the bottom of the bracket. If possible, install the system at a
height convenient for servicing.

Orientation
The horizontal mounting bracket can be configured to suit
installation, in which the system cap points to the left or right.
The bottom of the system is cradled in the concave feature of
the cast iron stand. The figure below shows the configuration
for a right-pointing system. For left-pointing system
configuration, flip both cast iron stands up-side down.

Installation
1
Depending on the particular installation, orient the cast
iron stands in either a left-pointing or right-pointing system
configuration.
2
Connect the two cast iron cross members together using
the three 1/4" x 1" bolts and lock nuts.
3
Attach the two ends of the cross member assembly to
the cast iron stands using the four 5/16" x 1-1/4" bolts and
lock nuts.

Floor Mounting
If the system is mounted on the floor, the floor surface must
be level. Place patio blocks beneath the bracket assembly and
level the blocks with sand or stone if necessary. Patio stone
must be securely anchored to the floor.
Drill into the concrete floor or block and anchor the bracket
with the four supplied concrete bolts.
Three of the concrete bolts come with the system and the
fourth bolt is supplied with the horizontal mounting kit. If
required, use the shims supplied with the system for leveling.

NOTE: If the system is being installed on a heated floor, use a
2' x 2' patio stone for a base. Do not drill the floor.
Wall Mounting
The bracket assembly must be mounted directly to the wall
studs or the two pieces of 2 x 4 lumber installed earlier. The
four 2-1/2" wall-mounting anchoring bolts are for wood studs
only. If the wall is made of concrete, use appropriate concrete
bolts for this installation.
• Mark the first hole location on the stud or lumber. Ensure
that all spacing requirements are satisfied.
• Drill a hole suitable for the supplied 2-1/2" anchoring bolt.
• Leaving one end of the bracket assembly on the ground
