(Figure 83).

as a guide) into the frame and install three (3) #12 x 2″ long

NOTE: Alternate fasteners are required when securing the sill plate
or support brackets to material other than wood (cinder block,
brick, masonry, or concrete). These items can be purchased at
your local hardware store.

a sturdy mount with solid vertical studs, support brackets may
not be required. The installation must support the weight of the
