Installation

Use the specified type and number of fasteners and anchors.
In the vertical slots, use the specified number of #14 shouldered screws (included) for attachment to the stud. Install screws to align with the No-Equal stamp.
For attachment to a minimum 4.75mm and maximum of 12.5mm thick steel edge angle, use Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive XL Large-Head Metal screws (XLQ114B1224). Use one screw centered in each horizontal slot. Install screws to align with the No-Equal stamp and back out 1/2 turn.
For fastener installation into steel backed by concrete, predrilling of both the steel and the concrete may be required. For predrilling, use a maximum 4.75mm dia. drill bit.
