EVSE mounting for hollow-wall construction
•
Place the unit such that both mounting holes can take
advantage of solid structural framing inside the wall or a strong
wall surface such as plywood.
•
Size ¼"- 20 lag screws are recommended for mounting the
EVSE to a wooden structure. Pre-drill appropriately sized pilot
holes to allow the lag screw to grip the wooden structure while
preventing the wood from cracking or splintering while the
screw is fastened.
•
The included plastic angle washers can be oriented to allow
the lag screws to be fastened at an angle while still providing a
solid flat backing to the screw head.
•
If the screw head is smaller than the ⅜" (1 cm) washer
aperture, an additional flat washer will need to be placed
between the plastic angle washer and the head of the lag screw.
•
If either mounting hole does not have a solid mounting
structure (such as drywall without a solid backing), it will be
necessary to use proper anchoring hardware, such as drywall
toggles or molly bolts.
