Install Ceiling Mounting Angles
Locate and mark the center of ceiling joist. Use a stud finder to locate the joists if ceiling is
3
finished with drywall.
Align center of keyhole slots on the ceiling
mounting angle with the centerline of the
4
ceiling joist and mark the holes on both
ends.
Install ceiling mounting angle into joist
6
using two 1/4" x 3" lag bolts, two 1/4"
washers and a 7/16" socket.
Pre drill 3" depth pilot holes fully into
3 inches of solid wood beam using a
5
3/16" drill bit. Note: Pilot hole must
bore into 3 inches of solid wood for lag
screw to be fully secured.
Note:
Make sure the lag bolts are tight against
the joist but DO NOT over-tighten the
lag bolts.
If lag bolts are over-tightened, the bolt
could snap or the hole may be stripped.
Warning:
VersaRac is designed for installation into wooden
ceiling joists only.
If the construction of your ceiling is using
engineered ceiling joists, please refer to "Fastening
