How to Install the Minerallac WB2 Double Gang Low Voltage Mounting Bracket
Step-by-step guide to mounting the WB2 bracket for low voltage wall plates without an electrical box.
Estimated time: 15m
Tools needed:
Phillips screwdriver, Tape measure, Pencil
Supplies needed:
WB2 bracket, 1-5/8" drywall screws (included), Stud finder (optional)
- Locate mounting position
Determine the desired location for the wall plate on the wall. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs if mounting to studs is preferred over drywall.
- Mark screw holes
Position the WB2 bracket against the wall at the marked location. Use a pencil to mark the screw hole positions through the bracket's mounting holes.
- Drill pilot holes (if needed)
If mounting to drywall, drill 1/8" pilot holes at the marked positions. If mounting to studs, align the bracket with the stud and mark screw locations directly.
- Secure the bracket
Insert the included 1-5/8" drywall screws into the bracket's mounting holes and drive them into the wall until the bracket is flush and secure.
- Attach the wall plate
Snap the low voltage wall plate into place on the bracket, ensuring it is level and securely mounted.
