EZ Install Installation Suggestions
-
Locate the
position on your wall where you want to install the
channel letter sign. Check behind the wall in this
area to insure that the mounting hardware can be
installed, what mounting hardware to use, and that
electrical service can be run to the location.
-
How
you secure the sign to the wall depends on the type of
wall. Make sure that your mounting method will
secure the sign permanently, even if it gets hit by a
truck, for instance. If the wall needs
reinforcement you will want to provide it. If your
wall is wood, lags (included) or toggle-bolts (included
also) are usually used, depending on the thickness of
the wood. Sometimes thru-bolts with backer-plates
must be used. If the wall is stucco over dry-wall
toggle-bolts are usually used. If the wall is
concrete or masonry, the wall is usually hammer-drilled
with 5/8” holes and shields for lags (included) inserted
in the wall. If the wall is EIFS (Styrofoam
covered by mesh and stucco) you will probably need to
back the wall with plywood and thru-bolt the sign.
Thru-bolts have not been supplied because walls vary so
greatly in thickness.
-
Measure the
raceway’s length and mark its center. Measure from
the center to each mounting hole.
-
Mark the center
of the location where you want to install the sign on
the wall, and measure from this location and mark the
locations of the mounting holes. Make sure that
they are level, and placed properly vertically in
relation to where you want the sign’s letters to be.
Note that the mounting holes on the raceway are NOT in
the center of the letters vertically.
-
Measure the
raceway for the location of the power supply hole, and
mark this location on the wall also. Drill a 5/8”
or larger hole completely thru the wall for passing the
electrical conduit to the rear of the wall.
-
If practical, a
hanger-bolt (included) can be installed in one of the
end mounting bolt locations. The raceway’s
mounting hole can be slid over the bolt, and temporarily
secured with a nut and washer (also included.) Now
the raceway can be pivoted into place, secured by the
other mounting bolts, then the hanger-bolt can be
replaced.
-
Hook up your
electrical and you’re done.
