Fixing Details Back to Products
Fixing upright supports All wall-mounting upright supports are sold in nominal multiples of 305mm, but the lengths can vary slightly due to normal cutting tolerances. The spacing between uprights can be between 600mm and l000mm depending on the anticipated shelf loading. The uprights must be vertical and parallel to each other to ensure level shelves. Use the top fixing hole in each upright as an alignment point. First mark with an ‘X’ where the top fixing hole of the centre or left hand upright is to be drilled. From this point use a spirit level to mark the position of the top fixing hole of the next upright at the desired spacing.
Next drill and plug the wall. (Slow drill speeds are to be preferred - the bits stay sharp longer and provide a better key for plugging.) Insert the top screws in each upright, leaving slightly slack. Line up the first upright to true vertical position, using a spirit level or plumb line and insert the bottom screw. Follow the same procedure for the remaining uprights, checking the distance between each top and bottom to ensure that they are parallel. Tighten the screws before marking out the positions of any intermediate fixings that are required. Additional screws will normally be needed for heavy loadings. When using panel support uprights, use the panel to align the uprights and ensure the squareness of the installation.
Use No 8 countersunk screws (Supascrews are recommended). The shelves should be fixed in position tight up to the uprights, or rebated round them to press against the wall. For wooden shelves on type W brackets use two fixing screw (No 6 round-headed), one at the front and one at the rear. Use all four fixing holes where two shelves meet on a bracket. Glass shelves must be cut accurately to fit type G, SG or FG brackets. Fixing brackets 1. Brackets can be fitted directly into the front of the support upright. The bracket should be held at the broadest part and the bracket head placed sideways into the upright. 2. Twist the bracket upright, tilting the front end up, then down to locate in the required slot. 3. Finally press down gently to lock into position. The slight sideways play (due to the necessary clearance dimensions) is eliminated when the shelves are fitted.
