Installation guidance

  • Locate a wood stud or install suitable structural wood backing
  • Position and level the bracket before marking the holes
  • Pre-drill pilot holes to reduce wood splitting and make alignment easier
  • Use a compatible wrench, socket, or hex driver
  • Tighten until the bracket is secure without deforming the bracket or stripping the wood
  • Support connected plumbing independently from the mounting bracket

For compatible bracket holes and structural wood installations

Suitable Applications

Applications Requiring Different Hardware
Concrete, brick, block, hollow drywall, metal framing, and other non-wood surfaces require anchors or fasteners selected specifically for that material and load.

Before purchase

Good to know

!
Wood installation only
Do not install these screws directly into unsupported drywall, concrete, brick, or masonry.

!
Anchors are not included
Non-wood surfaces require appropriate anchors and fasteners selected for the substrate and total load.

!
Confirm bracket-hole size
The bracket openings must accept 1/4″-diameter mounting hardware.

!
Two screws may not suit every bracket
Some brackets require additional mounting points or a different fastener quantity.

!
Account for the filled-system weight
Choose the mounting location and hardware based on the complete water-filled filtration system, not the empty bracket alone.

!
Avoid overtightening
Excess torque can strip the pilot hole, crush soft wood, or deform the bracket.

This product includes two steel mounting screws only. Brackets, filter housings, wall anchors, washers, drill bits, and installation tools are not included. Verify the bracket-hole size, wood condition, required fastener quantity, and total installed load before use.
